Freeze Frame
Thanks to Hell’s Kitchen artist Gwyneth Leech for sharing the New York adventure of getting her artwork from her studio on W39th Street around the corner to her new exhibition venue in Port Authority Bus Terminal! Thanks go to her husband, David Wilson, for “driving” the cart!
“I was really puzzled about how to manage the art transportation. A van or taxi wouldn’t help because it is such a short drive but then a long walk inside the terminal. I asked my Super if he had a dolly or bin with wheels. He let me borrow the big recycling bin, which was perfect!” she said on Instagram (check out the video). The show — “In the New Neighborhood” — is up now through January 25, 2023 in the display cases near 9th Avenue.
Happy birthday to Gary Su.
