New York City is a photographer's dream. In addition to iconic urban landscapes nearly everywhere you look; it's a city ridden with photo galleries. And, that goes for well beyond the obvious Chelsea and 57th Street areas. Gallery-hopping is a frugal and less stressful alternative to a day-long museum jaunt because galleries are almost always free, and if you attend an exhibit opening, you're further blessed with free drinks et al. For good measure, however, we've included two museums worthy of your photographic desires. Consider these picks when you can't bear another abstract painting or ironic performance art.
Eric Haze recently presented a new series of works under his upcoming exhibition, New Abstracts and Icons on display at the Level 2 Gallery, set up by Sky Gellaty. The event featured an appearance by numerous high profile creatives while offering a closer look into the work of one of the more celebrated names in the world of street art. For those interested in attending, New Abstracts and Icons runs through December 10th, 2009. See more at Eric Haze New Abstracts and Icons Exhibition Recap

ERIC HAZE ‘NEW ABSTRACTS AND ICONS’ NOVEMBER 19 – DECEMBER 10, 2009
Eric Haze is proud to announce New Abstracts and Icons, a major solo exhibition in New York City of new paintings, drawings, and sculpture. It is the artist’s largest exhibition to date. Deeply rooted in the graphic arts, Haze has established a vocabulary of personal symbolism with a repertoire representing departures of an abstract and minimalist nature. For New Abstracts and Icons Haze recontextualizes the aesthetic congruences of geometry, symmetry, and repetition through his iconographic lens. “This show represents a clear window into the process I have dedicated myself to over the last three years, with a deeper exploration of the minimalist and pop styles that have always informed my work,” says Haze. Recognized worldwide for more than three decades for his design work and artistic productions in a multitude of mediums, the 21st century has seen Haze return to his fine art roots. His work in acrylic, ink and charcoal culminated with a solo exhibition in 2008 at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Hong Kong. In New Abstracts and Icons, bold iconography and his natural line quality are free of any predictable design or past imagery. Haze is intent to convey his overall message in the purest and most organic terms possible through the combination of stark color contrasts and clean lines. The result is an overtly minimalist composition. The viewer does not have to sift through metaphors and signifiers; instead, Haze bravely reveals his personality and identity in stripped down, simple form. Through these new works chaos is calmed and harmony is nurtured. New Abstracts and Icons will be the first event held at Level 2, a newly built-to-suit 2500-square foot gallery space on 812 Broadway and 11th Street. Cocktails and hors d’oeuvres will be served at the opening reception with world class DJs A-Trak and Neil Armstrong providing the audio.
Exhition hours will be 12-6 p.m., Monday through Friday, and 1-7 p.m., Saturday and Sunday. More background on Eric Haze, plus extensive archives of his past works can also be seen at: www.interhaze.com
OPENING RECEPTION: Thursday, November 19, 8-10 p.m.

Toy makers MINDstyle offer a preview into its latest release, a 3′ version of Ron English’s McSupersized Me character, an obvious comical play on Ronald McDonald. The deluxe fiberglass monochrome figure was only produced in a run of 10 pieces, available through De La Barracuda, Toy Tokyo, and MINDstyle ATS direct.
