Conceptual artist Tom Friedman headlines a solo show at Entrance's Ludlow Street gallery under the provocative title there's no such thing as art. The gallery is running a second Friedman exhibition at its Red Hook space, so fans can make a two-borough day of it. If you are gallery-hopping on the Lower East Side, add this before it closes.

What to expect

Expect a focused solo gallery visit on a Lower East Side block lined with contemporary galleries. The gallery is running a second Tom Friedman show, if I ran the circus, at its Red Hook space, so fans can compare the two. Plan a short stop, then continue to neighboring galleries on Ludlow, Orchard and Eldridge Streets.
