While it feels like New York may be crumbling around us at times, The Cueto Project and The Bruce High Quality Foundation piece it all back together with a new exhibit called Empire, opening tonight and running through April 11th. They explain: "Concomitant with the impending financial meltdown of the galaxy, and in the spirit of elaborating on political metaphors by way of natural events, Empire re-imagines New York City as a pastiche of Utopian visions through photographic historical interventions, dis-temporal allegorical paintings, broken statuary, and unrealizable urban planning models." Looks like a lot of D.I.Y. Transformers to us!

The Cueto Project is located at 551 West 21st Street.
