As reported by EV Grieve (view original coverage here)
Last month, Mark McKinney was walking around the East Village with his son.
From 1996-1997, he ran a gallery, McKinney Arts, at 526 E. 11th St. between Avenue A and Avenue B. When he went by the storefront in December, he saw that it was a flex rental space available for pop-up shows.
"I figured, what's the likelihood of the exact same space being available 22 years later?" McKinney, who now lives and works from Belleville, NJ, told me. "So I rented the space for this weekend, tracked down a number of artists who I represented 22 years ago, and I've curated a show called "McKinney Arts REDUX."
The two-day show is tomorrow (Saturday!) and Sunday. A few details:
A pop-up show featuring art by:

Before moving to 11th Street, McKinney lived on Stanton Street and ran an impromptu exhibition space there.
"The 'bedroom' was so small, I couldn't fit my bed in there, so I turned it into a gallery," he said.
