Day 38 ~ Sunday Hop of the Week ~ jimjoe at The Hole

If you live in the city and frequent the Lower East Side, you have seen the ubiquitous jimjoe tag. Often humorous, it is always fun to find jimjoe throughout Manhattan and Brooklyn. Aimee, a true jimjoe treasure seeker, invited me to the jimjoe opening at The Hole Gallery. The exhibition presented by the New York Art Department runs “for one evening and two days only during irregular gallery hours.” The press release for the exhibition states, “The culmination of five years of experience of writing on trash and other people’s property, the show consists of paintings, drawings and trash sculptures made over the course of three weeks and represents an attempt by the artist to transition ideas, emotions and intentions used in the street to a fine art gallery setting.” The vast space and a couple of celebrity sightings created a perfect setting for jimjoe's art!

Day 32 ~ Guggenheim/Francesca Woodman ~ Sunday Hop of the Week

Was looking forward to seeing Francesca Woodman at the Guggenheim and yesterday was the day.

It is "Pay as you Wish" from 5:45 until 7:45 on Saturdays...

Her body of work, haunting-beautiful-and emotionally packed,

is not to be missed!

On view until June 13, 2012...

Day 12 ~ Team Gallery ...Sunday Hop of the Week

Went to Soho this past week and happened upon Ryan McGinley's two shows at Team Gallery. I knew I was in for a treat and was ready to be impressed. The first show, Animals (at 83 Grand Street) comprised of studio portraits of nude models with live animals, possessed a real sense of humor, as well as something I can only describe as uncomfortable. I loved it!

The second show - Grids (at 47 Wooster)

was a completely different experience.

These photographs focused on close ups of concert fans

- young and full of all kinds of emotion.

Loved this one too!

on view until June 2, 2012

Day 5 ~ Sunday Hop of the Week - Dogs at Sears Peyton Gallery

I have know Kathryn for a while now since our kids are in the same class and remember picking up my daughter once from a play date many years back. Seeing Kathryn's dreamy paintings on her walls, I was instantly taken by her art. "Dogs" is her newest series of paintings - and they are just like dogs - lovable and beautiful.

The show is up now till June 23rd, 2012 at
