Brooklyn’s upstart galleries create a new art district. The Village Voice looks at Flushing area galleries Factory Fresh, Ad Hoc Art, Pocket Utopia, and English Kills.  Ad-Hoc owner coined the term for the group of nearby galleries the “gang of four.”  Four being enough to label the area a gallery district?
