Friday is Fun Day

Fun Day GREATER NY 2010 EDITION

Heather and Monica navigated the various installations (top + middle), and I spent a lot of time with this work by Ismael Randall Weeks (bottom)

Happy Friday. Countdown to SHARK WEEK begins in two weeks. Get excited. OH, and get even more excited for this summer's group show...I will unveil the important info next week!

SHOUT OUT: BLOGGONIA

This friday's SHOUT OUT is to Bloggonia for this thoughtful write up of Joan Linder's exhibition.

Greater NY 2010 preview

Heather snapped this (a detail from a large installation--a wall covered in clippings and photos) [please comment if you know the artist's name so I can properly credit them!].

The above picture pretty much sums up the entire "Greater NY 2010" show.

*And speaking of boobs, I'm still feeling unsettled by Leigh Ledare's work.

shout out: Daily Serving

SHOUT OUT to DailyServing.com for their lovely mention of Joan Linder's show.

Well, MAN is now part of ArtInfo...and apparently that means we'll be seeing a lot of the phrase "only on MAN".

A (a failed attempt ?? at a) show about artists as collectors.

Ahh, the group portrait. This portrait of the current Hunter MFA students got me thinking about that new Bravo show, Work of Art (I've been seeing commercials recently). You can catch a series sneak peek here.  The description reads, "Work of Art: The Next Great Artist will bring together fourteen aspiring artists to compete for a solo show at a nationally recognized museum and a generous cash prize."  I am seriously curious as to which "nationally recognized museum" will get itself caught up in the Bravo-mania.

Yep, the Mixed Green-ers did the AIDS walk yesterday in NYC...and at about the half-way point it turned into a DANCE PARTY.

This is just the beginning. And I'm totally copying this idea from Moonfrye.com...but our office is fun too! And we are going to start sharing the fun with the world wide web!
