Collect Colette

Rumor had it that Colette was launching an opening in NY... I heard so a month ago while visiting Screaming Mimi's. I was confused, a little surprised... Colette in NY??... well, anything can be possible in NY so why not?.
Some days ago I was taking a walk at night taking advantage that the air refreshed and there was a little breeze to enjoy. Just four blocks away from my house there is this art gallery called PS2, in order to make fun of the closest PS1. When I passed by I noticed the gallery had become a store... huh? I kept looking and the reason why it looked that way was the exhibition Collect Colette.

It was late so it was closed, but then i understood: Colette the artist was in town, not the store...
Yesterday I went by again and the show was being wrapped... i didn't quite understand as the date for closing it was August 31st... what was going on?... My curiosity grew so i started to snoop around, putting my face against the glass to see more.

There was a lady cleaning the space and she saw me. She opened the door and I asked her how come the show was being wrapped. I said to her that I would love to see it before it would be completely wrapped... She let me in, we talked a little while... This lady was Colette herself!
In our talking she explained to me all the problems she had had with this gallery and the reasons why she decided to close the show before the date. What a shame.

Collect Colette was about putting this artist's work affordable to everyone; She decided to sell her closet.
There was a funny paint in the wall saying out of the closet. She took her clothing out of her bedroom for everyone who wanted to buy it.
Unfortunately this show has seen its end earliest that agreed so I couldn't fully enjoy the experience. In any case, i happened to meet her, that was nice :) .
