Robert Jack
January 13 – February 12, Anatomy of the Eye
Josée Bienvenu Gallery is pleased to present "Anatomy of the Eye", Robert Jack's fifth solo exhibition in New York. Robert Jack's work is based on microbiological systems and processes, making visible essential aspects of life that are overlooked due to their imperceptible scale. The exhibition consists of two bodies of work: a group of seven new paintings based on the way the eye perceives reality in different species, and a collection of intimate scale drawings.

WORD: Stripped Stories
http://newyork.ucbtheatre.com/shows/2326
Every month Giulia Rozzi (MTV, VH1.com) & Margot Leitman (Spike TV, VH1) invite comedians, musicians and guests to reveal hysterically honest stories about their sex lives. Giulia and Margot will also each reveal their own juicy stories amidst games, audience interviews and hookups... hopefully. With a combined resume which includes appearances on NBC, ABC, Vh1, MTV, Comedy Central, AMC, ESPN, E!, various guest radio spots, and features in Glamour and Playgirl Magazine, Giulia and Margot easily blended their love of stories, silliness and sex to create Stripped Stories. This themed night of hilarious sex stories has been playing monthly to sold-out audiences since it first began in January 2007. With guests spanning from award winning comedians to regular folks who have never set foot on a stage, Stripped Stories pleases both critics and audience members alike. Each month Giulia and Margot enable audience members to laugh at their own sexual misadventures via the brave guests
who bare their souls on stage. With rave reviews from Time Out NY, The Village Voice, Nerve.com and many others, Stripped Stories is rapidly becoming a must see comedy event (with an after party not-to-miss). With: Michele Carlo (Fish Out Of Aqua, The Moth), Kurt Braunohler ( Montreal Comedy Festival, Vh1), and music by Ben Lerman (Logo TV, Sirius). (UCB Theater, 307 W. 26th Street, 9pm, $5)
