As stated in both the GRINDHOUSE and Jim Dine articles (Click on the names to go to the articles), February 21st in Chelsea was an Art Lover's Paradise. In an area of about four blocks between 11th Avenue and West Street, quite a few galleries had their art opening at the same time. CLAMPART Gallery was my second stop. It was having a double exhibit of the works of artist John Bailly titled Place of Mind and the photography of Bill Armstrong, going by the name of Film Noir.
