I took a walk over to GLOWLAB this afternoon and stumbled on Heather Johnson’s Air and Blood show, which was unusual.
First, Heather, an avid Motorcycle chic, takes the Holland Tunnel to and from work each day. She began to look at the Holland Tunnel as a navigation system, much as a blood cell navigates [...]

Over the last week I’ve noted some lovely scenes in streets and subways, on my way going to or coming from work.
Usually I try to stop, take a look, but taking photos, I almost never do; decided to take some this week.
The first two pictures are ceramics from the Houston Street number 1 line, downtown [...]

Viewing a series of enviornmental art work at Kate Werble, that I found I liked, the more I looked at them.
Of course, there’s the metel piping, to the right, upon entering the gallery, that might as well have been an artwork, it would fit right in.
There’s a few pieces where, it could almost be a [...]

I was at an opening of Rembrandt, Picasso and Warhol prints at the William Bennett gallery tonight, which was enjoyable for a few reasons.
1. I dropped by early, the gallery wasn’t crowded yet.
2. The quality and number of prints from each artist are impressive.

I want to see more cakes like this one – this is one of the nicest cakes I’ve ever seen.   Wonder how a Cezanne would look as a Cake ….ha!
Checked the Flickr photostream to see if there was any others [...]

I heard about this opening of Michael Mundy from a facebook friend; on a rainy October night I decided to drop by the opening on the upper east side and found the gallery packed.  I would have more to say about the paintings, but the website where they are featured is entirely in Flash, and [...]

For a change I went to a Design Meetup that featured Rachel Ashwell of Shabby Chic fame. The meetup was also featured on the ApartmentTherapy.com Website and was well attended (and I ran into one familiar face, @laidbackchick goes to design meetups like this one, often).

The more Rachel Ashwell talked about her artistic approach (and [...]

A fantastic retrospective of the work of Kandinsky that I attended with two new friends at the Guggenheim Museum today.

There were a number of things that struck me while looking at the Kandinsky exhibition.

The majority of paintings were from his earlier period between 1904-1911ish.
Kandinsky started painting after he was 30 years old (reminds me a [...]

A feeling of satisfaction, of joy, even, came to me as I opened my mailbox tonight and found a copy of Carnegie Hall’s 0910 Season Guide.

Perhaps, this is the first time Carnegie Hall sent me the guide for the entire upcoming season; based on my recent experience seeing the YouTube Symphony Orchestra on April 15th [...]
