I should probably start off with an announcement that And/Or Gallery will soon be closing its doors. Keri, the assistant at And/Or, sent us this:

"Yes, And/Or is closing for the moment. Paul is moving to NYC in
September and I'm pretty much going as well. We are thinking about
re-opening the gallery in NYC in 2010. But we have a show with Chad
Hopper opening May 9th, and we may do one more show after that."

Sniff. It will be a sad day when they finally move out...
