Scavenge, solo show at Tibor de Nagy Gallery, NYC

29 May, 2017

Medrie Macphee is showing a series of new work in an exhibition entitled Scavenge from June 15 to July 28, 2017. It is the inaugural exhibition at Tibor de Nagy Gallery‘s new location at 11/15 Rivington St. in New York City. Opening Reception Thursday, June 15, 6-8 pm.
