Just 2 Weekends Left to Catch Brooklyn in Montreal
Montreal Brooklyn is an ongoing festival that celebrates the commonalities and contrasts of the two cities. There’s an excellent sense of energy in this exchange — both cities have hugely dynamic art scenes, and bringing them together helps everyone escape the bubble of individual art scenes. With just two weekends to go, this is a must-see. If you’re stuck in Brooklyn, worry not: Canada is coming here from January 10 to February 2, 2013.

Join Us on Tues Sept 13 to Explore the Art of Sleep

Laurie Frick has been delving deep into sleep, in fact she uses the data to create art works and installations that incorporate the abstractions that emerge from sleep monitoring and she creates rhythmic abstractions that feel sprawling and musical. The project is called Quantifying-me. Join us and discover a new depth to your sleep.

Join us on Tuesday, September 13 at 7:30pm at Hyperallergic HQ as she discusses her evolving project, the ideas that form the foundation of her art and the work she has created so far. READ MORE.

Join Us on Wed Aug 17 to Discuss Outsourcing Art

Outsourcing, outsourcing, outsourcing! It has become an obsession with pundits and commentators as one of the many ills that plague America.

Join us at 7:30 pm EST next Wednesday, August 17 at Hyperallergic HQ where he will discuss his curious art project that involves his hiring of a remote assistant in Bangalore, India. READ MORE.

Office Space for Rent at Hyperallergic HQ in Williamsburg

We have the best office in the world and we want to share it with you. Over a year ago, we moved into this giant space from our previous office — which was 20% the size of this — with the intention of hosting numerous events and renting out desks.
