In Philly: Monumental Prints at the Philadelphia Museum of Art + The Brothers Quay at Rosenwald-Wolf Gallery (UArts). Both of these shows are free (just flash your Temple ID at the PMA and say you are taking a class at Tyler School of Art).
In NY: 20 bucks gets you to NY and back on the Chinatown Bus or Bolt Bus. Once you're up there here are some other recomendations in Chelsea beyond the Paul Morrison show. Kamrooz Aram's magical paintings at Perry Rubenstein gallery, John Wesley's abstracted pop paintings at Fredericks and Freiser, and for a dose of the untraditional check out the group show at Postmaster. The Piero Manzoni retrospective is worthwhile at Gagosian and of course when all else fails the MET is always pay-what-you want and there is more than enough art there to keep you busy. But before leaving Chelsea grab lunch at Tia Pol at 205 10th Ave. For under $10 you can grab a great sandwich (though don't expect large portions). Buy a fun pass for the subway and make a day of it.
PAUL MORRISON:
London-based artist Paul Morrison creates bold graphic paintings and sculptures that represent a mash-up of 19th century woodcuts. The large scale wall paintings find similarity with David Hockney's Hogarth infused set designs for The Rake's Progress. They are difficult to reproduce well over the computer but are rather striking when seen in person. See them in person at Cheim and Read gallery. The show comes down March 21st. See images below.
