Remember all that “convergence” talk?
So, Sunday came and my feet were already trembling scared in anticipation of another art overdose. Let`s go!
I spent the morning walking around some of Manhattans Lower East Side (LES) galleries with artist <a title="https://leewells.org/home/" href="https://leewells.org/home/" target="_blank">Lee Wells</a>. We visited <a title="https://www.roostergallery.com/" href="https://www.roostergallery.com/" target="_blank">Rooster Gallery</a>, <a title="https://www.anastasia-photo.com/" href="https://www.anastasia-photo.com/" target="_blank">Anastasia Photo</a>, <a title="https://bridgegalleryny.com/home.html" href="https://bridgegalleryny.com/home.html" target="_blank">Bridge Gallery</a>, <a title="https://www.maysongallery.com/" href="https://www.maysongallery.com/" target="_blank">Mayson Gallery</a>, <a title="https://lesleyheller.com/" href="https://lesleyheller.com/" target="_blank">Lesley Heller Workspace</a>, and <a title="https://www.scaramoucheart.com/" href="https://www.
On Saturday I went to The Armory Show 2012. So many galleries, so little time. While everybody was talking about Marina Abramovic’s _Bed for Human Use _performance, Theaster Gates commissioned Pier 94 café piece, or Michael Riedel’s installation at New York’s David Zwirner’s booth (forget about the Nordic spaces)... I found other works much much more interesting. But thats what makes art`s subjectivity (apparently not so subjective) so appealing.
Although, for the first time I found myself (and was ment to be that way) inside a piece of exhibited art by Michelangelo Pistoletto at Galleria Continua‘s booth (I am not showing it here because it will soon be published in a book).
On Thursday I went to the New York Museum of Arts and Design (MAD). Honestly, I wasn`t expecting much, but… on the contrary, what a nice surprise!

From Japanese exquisite design and art (subtle, delicate, and sensitive beauty that never ceases to soothe your soul) in “Beauty in all things”, to the awesomely curated “Swept Away: Dust, Ashes, and Dirt in Contemporary Art and Design”, to the amazing “Glasstress New York”, the whole museum was a joy to visit.
Yesterday I had the enourmous pleasure of going to see Sara Sze‘s Infinite Line at Asia Society.
Definitely a pleasure, an exhibition not to be missed, and true to Sarah`s aim: works that a photograph can not capture (not that the copyright zealots of the Asia Society would let you take pictures anyway).
Yesterday I was invited to The Ungovernables Triennial leap year cocktail by-invitation-only party at the New Museum.
After a long line on the street, under the rain and cold wind (no wonder I have a cold now), the party started at 7:30pm in the main lobby: DJ, cocktails, and fluorescent rubber bands for a crowd eager to see and be seen.
Not one to particularly enjoy mingling and parties, I went upstairs to see the exhibition.
