Friday night's gallery opening at Michael Jon Gallery sparked seedy flashbacks of my trips to New York's Lower East Side, where my friends and I would hit gallery after gallery in search of the next great artist. Unlike its more grown-up sister, Chelsea, where established artists are backed by gallery owners with deep pockets and large spaces, the Lower East Side offered us chance meetings with gifted unknowns while we all rubbed elbows -- often literally. (These spaces could be pretty tiny.)
Enter Michael Jon Radziewicz, owner of Miami's Michael Jon Gallery; curator Hunter Braithwaite; and one very intimate space in Miami's newest art destination: downtown.
