My first pie!

I call this one: "Apple Bits"

Pet Post

I love the holidays. This guy doesn't seem to be as pumped...but still looks incredible.

Heather and the Barbarians

There are no words. Too good.

Kent Gallery

Upon closer look, Kumi Yamashita's credit card portrait at Kent Gallery reveals an acute attention to detail in numbers. The credit card (usually of the seated subject) is rubbed over meticulously with graphite to create the face.


Another well crafted work at Kent was a collage by American artist JESS, nodding to Russian constructivism and Hannah Höch.

Detail from Holiday at the Graveyard

Oskar Korsar's recent ink drawings feature slender, somber subjects with injections of imaginative contemporary references throughout each piece. This one reminded me of a lost Matilda, which reminds me of Tom Waits' Waltzing Matilda...

Plainville Music and Sometymes Why

Last night's soul shaking double bill at Cornelia Street Cafe featured Jeremy Udden's band, Plainville Music, and Aoife O'Donovan in the sultry and seductive trio, Sometymes Why.

Fisher Landau

This is me looking blurry and serious after my wonderful visit to the Fisher Landau Center for Art, posing with Francois-Xavier Lalanne's sheep sculptures. The building's clean, crisp architecture made the art pop off the walls and waltz into my heart! Emily Landau's collection provides its viewer with a relatively comprehensive survey of the past 50 years of art, albeit mostly prints. One Zachary Wollard piece particularly caught my eye:

LIC Sculpture Center

The sounds of Long Island City oscillate between noisy construction and utterly silent gallery spaces. The basement of the Sculpture Center provided sweet relief from the power drills and steel scraping. Down the narrow, damp corridor (aka the Center's jam-packed showing space) a video piece by Cesare Pietroiusti fit perfectly in an old brick archway:

Smack Mellon View

While the view from Smack Mellon's new location is far more substantial than its previous one, the new smaller space limits the amount of art that be shown at one time. Peter Dudek's work (pictured below) spiraled around the space beautifully while Elena Herzog's piece exposed the more unfinished aspects of the back rooms. To her credit, her piece felt like a mysterious work in progress, which perhaps is exactly what boat the gallery itself is in.
