Jim Herbert’s garrulous and gargantuan canvases, all around 13 foot square, are on view in his hangar-like studio in East Williamsburg along with assorted studio mates, a satellite venue of English Kills, which in turn is one of four Brooklyn venues that together form the Bushwick Biennial, the rival opening this weekend to a certain other biennale. The other three sponsoring venues are NURTUREart, Pocket Utopia and Grace Exhibition Space. Events kick off at 1pm with a cascading schedule of opening parties later that evening – check outbushwickbiennial.com for details. And the Bushwick B is but a cog in the wheel of the sprawling 200+ open studios marking the weekend.

This was an artcritical PIC in June 2009.
