Issue Project Room Has a New Home

That didn't take long. The Issue Project Room, which hosted its last event in its Gowanus Canal space on Carroll Street on Saturday night, is opening in a new location tomorrow night. The new space is in the wonderful Old American Can Factory at Third Avenue and Third Street (which is where the rooftop film screenings take place). The email we got from the IPR people says it's "a temporary, beautiful residence in a space inside dubbed 'The Sanctum.'" The opening night--Tuesday, July 3 at 8PM--features a mixed media collaboration between Gibby Haynes of the Butthole Surfers and the poet Joe Wenderoth, best known for his masterpiece Letters to Wendy's. We don't know how the new series that opened at the Carroll Street silo space yesterday went, as we were in Williamsburg for the Pool Party at McCarren Pool. If anyone attended the Gowanus show, please share your thoughts/reviews.
