Vernissages | NYC, February 3

A very eclectic evening tonight, and I can say I had a little taste of a lot of the contemporary art scene offerings. Vernissages spanned from a re-proposition of a Fluxus happening to large scale installations, from abstract expressionism to video and light environments. My favorite was Jim Campbell light installations, very immersive.
