museum visit

 

greg and i visited the whitney today for their biennial show. i was looking specifically for two artists janet thought i would like, but i couldn't find them. i'll go back when it isn't as crowded. 

janet had mentioned this artist to me, jasmine sian. she works with paper deli bags, creating lacey motifs with an x-acto knife and painting living beings at the center with a very fine brush (often with only one bristle). it's difficult to see the center as the work is so fine and detailed. (a close up view can be found at this gallery's link which happens to have good photos of her pieces.)

another interesting art work? freely, haphazardly, naturally created? and flapping happily in the breeze.

i loved these large photographs taken from civic workers' buildings' windows by emilio martinez poppe . . 

the artist's words about his photographs . . 

now on our way to chelsea market . . it was cold and grey today!

everyone was bundled up.

shrimp and fish tacos with pineapple celery juice.

the clouds on the way home were like frosted glass . .
