New Gallery Signal Move to the Arts

A Multimedia avantgarde art gallery has just opened on the site of a former strip joint in the Combat Zone - a move the founders say will help reclaim the red-light district for Hub artists.

Situated at 25 Lagrange St. in the former home of the Goodtime Charlie's nude dancing club, the Exploit Gallery opened quietly two weeks ago, with a photography and metal-sculpture exhibit of works by four local artists, including founders Richard Aliberti and Shiri Broza.

"We want to use this space as a foundation for some powerful art, not this quiche stuff they have on Newbury Street," Aliberti said. In the next several weeks, the multimedia showcase will be the host for performance artists, filmmakers and installation artists.
