X-Initiative closing event 2/3/10

After almost a year of exhibitions, performances, panels and screenings, the X Initiative, a nonprofit art consortium that took over the old Dia Center for the Arts in Chelsea, will cease and desist on Friday, as planned. The farewell event is a 24-hour marathon titled “Bring Your Own Art (BYOA)” that starts Wednesday at 11 a.m. and ends 24 hours later, at 11 a.m. on Thursday. -See the full article by Roberta Smith. & nytimes link to more info on the show here.
