I love going in this place. They embrace the arty comics scene, and the DIY comic-aesthetic low fi art world that shows up on their walls. It's pretty hip, I guess. Man it's fun, and a usually a great place to see fun new ideas. I remember once they invited comic artists across the country to submit art they did using only a blue bic pen- the stuff was jaw-dropping. Hope that's an on-going series, I'd like to see that again... R. Nicholas Kuszyk is up now, and he's painted the entire gallery, with a huge obelisk in the middle of the room. His robot wars (?) are all over the place, hilarious and touching. They charge what's right and proper for the zines, comics and whatnot in the back - and they're supporting some really fun young artists that I hope keep doing this fun great stuff!
This gallery was kind of small but the space they had was very well organized and the prices on the art were affordable, even to students. I don't know what kind of artist they usually attract but when I visited, it was an exhibition by Kim from the band Matt & Kim. Not many subway lines near the gallery had a convenient connection from the place in Brooklyn I was starting from so that was the main attraction for me. If other artists I had an interest in also have their exhibitions here I would gladly make the trip.
