Observations from The Legume Room

Artblog’s newest correspondent, Logan Cryer, reports on the goings on at The Legume Room — the newest pop-up gallery in town, organized and operated by a cohort of recent Tyler BFA graduates. Through a thoughtfully-presented series of 7, week-long group shows, these emerging artist-curators have demonstrated care for the art without taking themselves too seriously. Scroll down for a great Q and A between Logan and the Legume Room founders, and visit their closing reception on Friday, June 1st.
