The brainchild of Dariel Mtz and Daniela Croci aka Zoe, Exit Room is more than just another art gallery. Located at 270 Meserole Street, minutes away from the Montrose Ave. stop on the L train and next door to the Well, it serves as an incubator and showcase for film productions, spoken word performances, musical presentations, as well as for visual art. The current exhibit, Outsight In, features works by Rimx, Danielle Mastrion, Nepo, Ricardo Cabret and Cern — all providing “insights through outside perspectives.” Here’s a sampling:
