There's only until the end of February to see one of the most dynamic, interesting and original exhibitions now on in Manhattan: Nexus New York: Latin/American Artists in the Modern Metropolis. It's at the nicely refurbished, newly reopened Museo del Barrio in the upper reaches of Fifth Avenue. Take my advice: run, don't walk!!!

"They Mingled in the Metropolis" -The Wall Street Journal, February 3, 2010
El Museo del Barrio's 'Nexus New York' harks back to a city that was less concerned about being the world's epicenter of art, and more a place of collegial relationships among artists.
