marzo 2018

¡hola, difus@s!
 
due to an unusually heavy workload this month, this issue will be a bit different. i’ll be back in proper form next month, with reviews of both february and march along with more detailed recommendations for april. 

this month has some great stuff on offer, including a number of personal favorites. in place of the usual short-list recommendations followed by a chronological listing, below you'll find this month's events divided by category with short-listed items marked by asterisks.

first and foremost (as soon as this weather eases up), get out and enjoy the armory week frenzy; artnet, artsy, and hyperallergic all have great guides to help you get sorted.
 
abrazos,
p
