New York, New York

I just got back from a 5-day trip to NYC for class research.  Here's a quick run-down of the highlights:

- Fuerza Bruta is a great performance running at the Roth Theater.  If you can, you MUST see it!

- MoMA is showing two very thought-provoking exhibitions: William Kentridge: Five Themes, and Marina Abramovic: The Artist is Present.  Again, if you can, you should go see them.

- Amy's Bread and The Milk Bar at Chelsea Market make me happy.  Heck, Chelsea Market makes me happy.

- Oh Katz's Deli, you have large expensive sandwiches, but they're soooooo good...

- Check out the carousel at Luhring Augustine Gallery if you get the chance before May 1st.

Back from NYC! (Day 1 summary)

Technically I returned from NYC Sunday night, so let's see if I can remember it all...
The trip was a part of my Graduate Seminar class, and this is a run-down of all the stuff we did for the first day we were there. (I'll post each day separately, otherwise this would get crazy long!)

THURSDAY
- Metropolitan Museum of Art, where we saw the Jeff Koons exhibit
and the Giorgio Morandi exhibit.


Then, we went to the New Museum of Contemporary Art, where we saw Elizabeth Peyton's retrospective: Live Forever
,
and the 2008 Altoids Awards.

It was fun to see the Elizabeth Peyton's work live because she is in the "Drawing Now" textbook I used in an undergrad drawing class.


Thursday was kind of a short day because everyone arrived in the city that day, so after partaking in an amazing deli sandwich, I turned in for the night, exhausted.
