Brian Donovan- Reality sucks but there’s always TV.
I've worked with Brian Donovan, a photographer, an illustrator, a fine artist, an aspiring writer and, above all, an advocate, on a series of projects that have quite literally brought us from the depths of homeless Brooklyn to the...
CJ Reilly gets a Prosthetic leg thrown at him.
After seeing C.J. Reilly's Drawing Stories from South America show during the Bushwick Open Studios and Art Fair (CJ Reilly- From one tip of Bushwick to South America) I became enamored with the sensitivity and humanity of his work....
COLLECTIVE HARDWARE- “Trying to fight the right Fight.”
It’s a Saturday night and outside it’s starting to rain, by the time I get up the stairs I find Stuart Braunstein, curator and one of the principal instigators of Collective Hardware wildly surveying the scene in front of...
Dress Codes: ICP Triennial of Photography and Video.
The third triennial video and photography exhibit at the International Center for Photography, was aptly entitled “ Dress Code.” Featured artists provided their own interpretation of style, figure and fashion from behind the seams. The sky was overcast, the wind...
Addiction. A collection of Photography by Thi Chien.
It is the season of the tilted hat. A time when the cold is just warm enough to keep the head partly exposed to whatever bullshit one wishes to fill it with. Like a vein. Like drugs. Taking blood,...
Amber and Brendan turn up at STK.
When one walks into Amber Arbucci and Brendan Murphy’s exhibit, one instantly feels empowered by their creations. With nude models covered in body paint in the African wilderness, Amber Arbucci’s photos flirt with danger, emboldened femininity and exuded sensuality. ...
Jeurgen Teller- tre ‘Paradis.’
If I was a single, young male, I would highly consider becoming a platinum GenArt member. A platinum member automatically becomes part of the Collector’s Circle and is invited to weekly art previews and receptions at galleries, museums, auction...
Annika Connor; Self-proclaimed Girly-Girl, cum Genius.
The first thought that crosses my mind is: This cannot be her. She stands in the reception area of Downtown Manhattan’s dimly lit, designer-decadent BOND ST restaurant, flawless blonde hair flipped to a Charlie’s Angels-esque wave, electric pink blouse,...
Artists 4 Israel’s (S)kin Life Drawing Workshop: Chaos and Glory or “Is bigger better?”
Artists 4 Israel’s 5th (S)kin Life Drawing workshop was a massive display of rock and roll style perfected imperfections, advocacy and chaotic, glorious, achievement. Art and advocacy competing to trump one another, (S)kin is subtlety of message meshed with...
Liz Parks- Your personal Art Advocate.
Art. What is it? Why collect it? What’s it worth, what does it all mean and who’s a must have and who’s not? These are some of the questions often being mulled in the back of any prospective art...
Javier Gomez- ‘Sensual Nature.’
As the cabs honked their horns and screeched impatiently across the gravel down at Wall street, all important men suited up in smart business suits speed-walked home -- probably to nurse a martini with their housewives. Standing under the...
40th anniversary of Woodstock at the Morrison Hotel Art Gallery.
The revolution has been commoditized. Luckily, for those of us who could not have afforded the time to be born into a generation who actually achieved their dreams, it is now on sale.
The Morrison Hotel Art Gallery’s 40th Anniversary...
Sally Golan- ‘A Hint of the Dark Side.’
Teetering along in my heels, I tentatively looked around in search of The Gallery Bar. Having never been there as well as have never attended Sally Golan’s Social Night of Exposure, I had no idea what to expect. As...
The fantastic set take over Collective Hardware.
By the time we rock by Collective Hardwear’s testimony to “D’lautonmy’s” embrace of Ellis Gallagher, part 2, (yes part 1 was a resounding success so now there was a part 2) we are drenched in the veneer of cool...
‘No Discipline,’ at the MOMA.
“No Discipline” is a fitting title for Ron Arad’s latest exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art. In a city where nomenclature is everything, where exhaustive definition is a prerequisite for cultural deference, Arad’s is an exhibit that is...
