blast from the past/sudden urge to be on a hill in Vicenza.
November in New York. I swear.

First Curatorial Venture! Seeking Artists: Women, Subjectivity, Embodiment, Migration
Call for women artists working in all media!
We are two NYU graduate students curating a group exhibition that stems from our interest in women artists, and issues such as subjectivity, borders and boundaries, migration, and embodiment.

We are interested in a creative and collaborative curatorial approach, centering on the exchange of ideas between artists, curators and the public. Our intention is to create a thought provoking exhibition which challenges modes of reception not only between viewers and works of art in the gallery space, but that invites new dialogues about the ways in which we approach self/other and subject/object relationships. We're seeking artwork that can challenge our understanding of the world and urge us to rethink art's role within contemporary culture.

Boro Park & Coney Island
The warm weather today reminds me of a great visit I made with my grandparents to the edges of Brooklyn.
We began in the predominately Hasidic neighborhood of Boro Park...
...Then to Coney Island, hotdogs and the beach...
...And then through Sheepshead Bay all the way to my grandfather's old neighborhood on Avenue U.
(By way of Randazzo's Clam Bar)
It was a different world out there. Great to know it's all part of the same city.

There's something very uncanny about Coney Island. I really like that.

new pen drawings
 | ||||||||||||
| I'm very interested in the idea of playing with scale, thinking about how a delicate pen line can carry the monumental weight of a brush stroke, so that every detail is activated in an interesting way. For me, I think I enjoy this kind of drawing because it's loose and experimental, really coming from the mental space of the doodle, both relaxed and slightly distracted and more open to chance. (all drawings are colored pen on small paper or post-it notes) |
