Saturdays and Sundays

Most Saturdays and Sundays this Fall, you will be able to find me at The Homefront Gallery. Last Saturday, we had a great start to the Conversation series with Jen Williams. Please come visit!

Studio Touring

This weekend, Crystal and I are running around doing a bunch of studio tours and portfolio reviews for The Homefront in search of potential artists for the upcoming year. If you are interested in submitting, please read the guidelines.

We're slated to meet up with Jenn Viola (whose studio roof is pictured above), Hidemi Takagi, Jen Williams, and Jane Tam. It's going to be a fun art-loving weekend.

Here's a preview of what we saw at James Corporan's studio last weekend.

The Run Around

Sorry to not have popped in sooner. I have another cold clogging up my head. I'm just sitting here wising it would let up because it's so beautiful outside, everyday. It's torturous. I thought I'd share some pics from last weekend to make up for posting. Ross and I went to DUMBO with Jack, my cousin's cousin. He's visiting from TW and I thought I'd show him around Brooklyn a bit since he had no clue what the borough looked like. We walked around Brooklyn Heights and DUMBO and went to Grimaldi's, whose service is lacking but is still serving some amazing pies. We also saw some shows at NYPH so it was a lovely day.

I picked up a new Mr.T-shirt from my friend Noah. Love it.


Noah gave me this button for my soon to be status.


I bought an old Coach bag from a stoop sale for $5.


We went to see my friend, Jennifer Williams's show [FLŌ] @ A.I.R. Gallery which is up until May 24, 2009 (This Sat!!!) It's an amazing show, so go!

When I got home, I got two of Ann's books in the mail. I will be working with some of these poems for the Breathing In book. More images coming soon, maybe in a week or two. Promise.

Landmarks of New York at the NY Historical Society

from NY Historical Society:

LANDMARKS OF NEW YORK
An exhibition of 83 photographs documenting some of the most significant buildings and public parks in New York City will be on view at The New-York Historical Society from April 30 through July 12, 2009, in the exhibition Landmarks of New York. The exhibition has traveled to 82 countries under the sponsorship of the United States Department of State since 2006 and is now coming home to New York for its final showing. The photographs in the exhibition will then enter the collection of the New-York Historical Society, through a donation from the exhibition's curator, Barbaralee Diamonstein-Spielvogel.

Some of the photographers include Jennifer Williams, Christine Osinski, Teresa Christiansen, Reuben Cox, Mike Vahrenwald, Tony Gonzalez and me(!). The photos are now in the collection of the New York Historical Society which means I'm in a collection!!!

Conversations

As I was lying in bed just half an hour ago, I realized that I had not put a link up to my Conversation with Jennifer Williams from Thurs. I then realized that none of the Conversations are linked collectively for you. I have fixed it by adding the links on the sidebar to the right. So if you missed any of them, you can find them right there.
