It’s shaping up to be a very fine summer here in New York.

The Mayor’s Office just reported that all eight of the city’s free public beaches will open tomorrow, Sandy be damned, and Zach Feuer and Untitled are showing a  bounty of Jewish artists.

Now White Columns comes bearing good news: writer and artist Rhonda Lieberman is organizing its summer show, and it is called “The Cat Show.” It has work by more than 50 artists, and will offer the opportunity to adopt cats from the East Village’s Social Tees Animal Rescue as part of a Cats-in-Residence program. (Which is great since I still feel stupid about not adopting one of Darren Bader’s cat sculptures in his MoMA PS1 show.)

The show runs June 14–July 27, with the Cats-in-Residence program on June 14–15 and July 19–20. On those days 10 cats will “lounge around and run amok in a pussy playground designed by architects Gia Wolff and Freecell.”

There are lots of great artists in this one, and lots of great puns in the press release, which follows below. A relevant Cory Arcangel cat piece concludes this post.
