ART: Skylar Fein's "Remember The Upstairs Lounge" opens 4/28

Remember the Upstairs Lounge by Skylar Fein
Curated by Dan Cameron & No Longer Empty
447 West 16th Street, at 10th Avenue

A New Orleans bar is coming to New York, but with a difference. This bar doesn't serve alcohol. And the regulars are long gone. No Longer Empty is pleased to present Remember the Upstairs Lounge, the recreation of a bohemian French Quarter bar that was destroyed decades ago in a mysterious fire whose story has a surprising power.

Official Opening: April 28, 6pm-8pm
Open to the Public: April 29-May 30, Wed-Sun., 12pm-7pm

The exhibition will be accompanied by programming including a panel discussion on Tuesday May 4th which will address the relationship between art and social causes. Skylar Fein will give an "artist talk"and tours of the exhibition throughout its run.

Skylar Fein is represented by Jonathan Ferrara Gallery, New Orleans. The exhibition is made possible with the generous support of Taconic Investment Properties.
