New York, NY, USA United States of America

Reflect-arts, Inc. presents Strange Cities: the Unique and the Unusual in the Urban Landscape from October 19 – October 30 at Gallery 27+, 242 West 27th St., New York, NY. This exhibit showcases 46 artists from 18 states expressing the notion of this theme with their unique imagination and craft. Strange Cities: the Unique and the Unusual in the Urban Landscape features two dimensional creations in a variety of media, with imagery from the surreal, the representational, the abstract, the absurd, and to the downright bizarre. Among the artists is Gary Isringhaus who has been a Premiere Portfolio Artist at absolutearts.com since 2002.

The opening event for Strange Cities will take place on Thursday, October 19, 2006, 6-9 pm. The opening will include live improvisational electronic music by the vibrant duo pico fermi, and a surreal, over the top interactive art performance by The Conundrums (featuring duo Muffinhead & Amber Ray) as well as cocktails and hors d’oeuvres.

On Wednesday, October 25, at 7:00 pm there will be a film screening and freeform chat with director Pedro Carvajal, POPaganda: The Art and Crimes of Ron English; this acclaimed documentary showcases guerilla artist Ron English, known for the artwork featured in "Supersize Me", and as featured on billboards in cities.

A Best in Show award will be determined by public vote at a ballot box at the gallery during the run of the exhibit. The Best in Show winner will be featured on the reflect-arts web site and will be part of an exhibition in New York in 2007. Other awards in addition to Best in Show include 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th place, Curator’s Picks and Honorable Mentions.
