Stay tuned, I just got back from the ‘long tour’ at the Philip Johnson estate in New Canaan just now and I took a whole slew of photos. I hope to post them within a week. Regardless of what you think of the man (and believe me, I’m no fan) it’s still fully worthwhile to check out the place.
We were checking out the last day of the (really excellent) Francis Bacon retrospective at the Met the other week so we went up to the roof of the Metropolitan Museum of Art (my favorite spot) to see the Roxy Paine installation “Maelstrom”. If you go to the Met, make sure to check it out! (warning bad iphone photos follow)
Uh, this is sort of the old-school Carroll Gardens aesthetic. What do you think- a sort of suburban street art? 😉
Trying to catch up on some stuff I wanted to share from this summer…Make sure to check out the new(ish) mural by Brazilian brothers Octavio and Gustavo Pandolfo, known as Os Gemeos, that went up mid-July on the North West corner of Houston and Bowery. These lame iphone photos do not do it justice, since it’s quite detailed and needs to be seen in it’s entirety.
We went to the MoMA today to check out some of the current exhibits. There’s been a lot brewing there over these past months. There’s an interesting exhibit on the New York punk and post punk scene called Looking at Music: Side 2. They’ve got some nice listening stations in the exhibit as well as some videos and a bunch of memorabilia. I saw the “Dominatrix Sleeps Tonight” music video among others. Wow, remember that tune? Another interesting exhibit by […]
An early look at the prototype …just in case you’re into that sort of thing 😉
I went to a very interesting art opening at a super swanky gallery tonight, high above midtown, called Haunch of Venison that a friend of ours is associate director of. The show is called ‘The Figure and Dr Freud’ and is actually pretty interesting. There’s definitely something for everyone here. They have works by 31 artists, spanning this past century. So, there’s people from the canon like Picasso, Giacometti, Chuck Close, Maplethorpe, Arbus, etc. as well as newer folks like […]
We were lucky enough to be offered free accommodations in Greenport last weekend, which is in the North Fork of Long Island (thanks S&R). So, of course we had to say yes to a break from the constant noise of the highway construction project going on outside our window each morning. Here are some photos of Greenport, Shelter Island, and Orient Point. We did a really good job finding vacant areas in which to hang out. It’s been super stressful […]
Magico and Masa finished up that music video that they did for SOUR that I was in. Take a look. I think it came our very nicely. They have credits for the video on the you tube site. (If you look closely, you can see me in 4 sections.)
