Philip Johnson estate!

Stay tuned, I just got back from the 'long tour' at the Philip Johnson estate in New Canaan just now and I took a whole slew of photos. I hope to post them within a week. Regardless of what you think of the man (and believe me, I'm no fan) it's still fully worthwhile to check out the place.

Roxy Paine at the Met

We were checking out the last day of the (really excellent) Francis Bacon retrospective at the Met the other week so we went up to the roof of the Metropolitan Museum of Art (my favorite spot) to see the Roxy Paine installation "Maelstrom". If you go to the Met, make sure to check it out! (warning bad iphone photos follow)

Street Art???

Uh, this is sort of the old-school Carroll Gardens aesthetic. What do you think- a sort of suburban street art? ;-)

July '09 Street Art

Trying to catch up on some stuff I wanted to share from this summer...
Make sure to check out the new(ish) mural by Brazilian brothers Octavio and Gustavo Pandolfo, known as Os Gemeos, that went up mid-July on the North West corner of Houston and Bowery. These lame iphone photos do not do it justice, since it's quite detailed and needs to be seen in it's entirety.

MoMA visit

We went to the MoMA today to check out some of the current exhibits. There's been a lot brewing there over these past months. There's an interesting exhibit on the New York punk and post punk scene called Looking at Music: Side 2. They've got some nice listening stations in the exhibit as well as some videos and a bunch of memorabilia. I saw the "Dominatrix Sleeps Tonight" music video among others. Wow, remember that tune? Another interesting exhibit by Roman Ondak allows the viewer to participate. Your name and the date you visited gets recorded on the wall of a room at your height. One of most notable exhibit's is by Song Dong. He meticulously lays out all of the belongings of his mother's house. I've included a number of photos from the various exhibits here.

Renegade Cabaret at the High Line

I forgot to post this last week, but last Friday we went down to the High Line again ('cause we love it so much) and got a chance to check out the Renegade Cabaret, which I would definitely recommend. Make sure to check their schedule and time your next trip to the High Line so you can see it. Don't forget to donate!

Stereoscopic Red Camera rig

An early look at the prototype ...just in case you're into that sort of thing ;-)
