With Shouts, you can let your connections know about something (e.g. an
event, a restaurant) FAST! When you don't feel like writing a full
review but still want to draw attention to something on our site, shouts are a
great option. When you send a Shout, anyone who has made you a
connection will see what you have to say about it in their 'Connections' window.
Some examples of shouts are: "This play closes tonight - don't miss it!" or
"Ate here last night. Check it out before it gets discovered!"
You can TAG any business or event you find on NYC.com. A tag is like a
personal keyword or category label. So with tags, you can label what
interests you on NYC.com with words that make sense to you. Your tags
can
then be used to help you share, store and organize this information.
For
example, you could tag a Japanese restaurant you like with "great
sushi,"
"delicious," "expensive," "downtown." In the future, if you're in the
mood
for great sushi, you can easily find any restaurant fast that you
tagged
"great sushi." Or if you're looking for a restaurant downtown, just
search
with "downtown." What's more, you can also see all the records everyone
else has tagged "great sushi" or "downtown" at NYC.com.
This is different than a normal search, because it shows you what the
users
at NYC.com are thinking about and reviewing. TAGS are a great resource
for
finding out what's going on, what's hot, what people are talking about.
Some
rise and others fall in importance, depending on how the tag is being
used.
So why use TAGS?
1. Tags keep found things found. Tags make it easy for you to find
businesses or events again, using the terms you use to describe them.
If
you can't remember the name of that great French bistro you went to
four
months ago, just click on your FRENCH tag, and there it is!
2. Tags let you find things using other users' language. We
might
tag a restaurant as FRENCH, but someone else might tag it as PARIS
CHEF.
And you can see the most popular tags on NYC.com by visiting
http://www.nyc.com/tags/ - the size of each link shows how many records
are tagged with that word or phrase. The bigger the word, the bigger
and
more powerful the tag!
3. Tags let you visualize your NYC and see how others see it.

EDITORIAL REVIEW
The Paula Cooper Gallery opened in 1968, the first art gallery to open in New York’s SoHo district, with an exhibition to benefit the Student Mobilization Committee to End the War in Vietnam. The show included works by Carl Andre, Dan Flavin, Donald Judd, Robert Mangold and Robert Ryman, among others, as well as Sol LeWitt’s first wall drawing. For more than thirty years since then, the gallery’s artistic agenda has remained focused on, though not limited to, conceptual and minimal art.
Many shows of historical importance have been organized by the gallery. The first exhibition of Jennifer Bartlett’s “Rhapsody” opened in 1976. Throughout the 1970s the gallery presented the work of then unknown artists Lynda Benglis, Elizabeth Murray, Joel Shapiro and Jackie Winsor. From the mid-1970s on, Jonathan Borofsky presented his neo-expressionist installation shows, complete with scattered photocopies, flashing lights, music or ping-pong tables. Among several Robert Gober exhibitions was a groundbreaking show on gender and identity in 1989. In 1996, the gallery presented an exhibition of paintings, sculpture and works on paper by Yayoi Kusama from the 1950s and 1960s, and in 1999, the work of Dutch artist Jan Schoonhoven, the late artist’s first one-person exhibition in the U.S.
More recent exhibitions of note include Sophie Calle’s “Double Game,” which included the artist’s more important works from 1981 to 2001, organized around her collaboration with writer Paul Auster; an exhibition of Claes Oldenburg drawings from 1959 to 1963; a large-scale Mark di Suvero sculpture exhibition; a Christian Marclay show of altered musical instruments which were subsequently featured in the 2002 Whitney Biennial; and in 2000, a Zoe Leonard show that included a 45-foot installation of second-hand dolls.
In 1996, the gallery moved to Chelsea, to occupy an award-winning 19th century building redesigned by Richard Gluckman, of Gluckman Mayner Architects. In 1999, Paula Cooper opened a second exhibition space, also on 21st Street.
The gallery established its own recording label, Dog w/a Bone, in 2000. To date, Dog w/a Bone has released five recordings, featuring music by Morton Feldman, Petr Kotik and the S.E.M. Ensemble, and Marcel Duchamp’s complete musical work. “Spoken Music,” a recording of a concert held in the gallery featuring works by John Cage, Dick Higgins, Jackson Mac Low and Anne Tardos, was released in early 2003.
Beyond its immediate artistic program, the gallery has regularly hosted concerts, music symposia, dance performances, book receptions, poetry readings, as well as art exhibitions and special events to benefit various national and community organizations. For 25 years until 2000, the gallery presented a much celebrated series of New Year’s Eve readings of Gertrude Stein’s “The Making of Americans” and James Joyce’s “Finnegans Wake.”
In May 2003, Paula Cooper opened 192 Books (www.192books.com), a bookstore and exhibition space featuring key works of literature and history, art and criticism, the social and natural sciences, travel and children's books. Please check www.192books.com to view a detailed schedule of upcoming readings and events.
