Okay, yet another weekend is upon us ! Is it me, or is the year/month/day really speeding by ? Okay, Tierney Gearson - Explosure at the ACE Gallery was to close this weekend but they extended till May 9th. Plus remember when I mention Melanie Pullen's exhibit would be done last month ? Oops, the new date just says "through Spring 2009" so that is still up.
