Artists We Love :: Natalia Fabia
Natalia Fabia’s current solo show at the Jonathan LeVine Gallery entitled “Punk Rock Rainbow Sparkle” ushers a new wave of feminism with an emphasis on sugar and spice — that isn’t always nice.
Exhibits We Love :: Alexander McQueen @ MET
In case you haven’t heard about Alexander McQueen exhibit at the MET, Savage Beauty, we thought we’d share a bit of brilliance with you. The exhibit juxtaposes themes of his past collections in cinematic environments that reflect the conceptual vision for each runway show. The Metropolitan Museum of Art has compiled an extensive array of videos from runway shows, a beautiful video tour of the exhibit, photos and writings for online viewing as well as events and lectures around McQueen’s gorgeous artistic contributions. Take some time to savor each delectable morsel. – Moni Vargas
Stories We Love :: Found – Lost Pictures of New York Blizzard
A pair of European brothers lose a canister of film in Prospect Park. A man seeking “adventure” finds the canister while cross-country skiing in the park. The adventure seeking man decides his going to develop the film and find the owners. He creates a video using many of the photos found in the park, a story begins to unfold on the who’s, what’s, and why’s. The adventure continues, and the best part is maybe you can be a part of finishing the story…
Infographics We Love :: Crude Awakening
If the media coverage of the Gulf of Mexico oil spill has seemed superficial and somewhat incomplete to you, here is an infographic that lays out all of the information so you can then do your own research depending on what concerns you most. Make sure to visit the good folks at Infographicworld.com so you can see the full image and zoom in and out as you please.
In case you haven’t heard, Halliburton seems to be the company at fault for the explosion that caused the oil spill. Not only does this company still make enormous profits from the war in Iraq which has left this country practically bankrupt, but now their greed and irresponsible oversights could have caused this country’s worst environmental catastrophe. When and how will they be held responsible?
Exhibits We Love :: Nina Pandolfo Photos
Last month we told you about the wonderful exhibit by Nina Pandolfo at the Carmichael Gallery in Los Angeles. This past week we got to see Nina’s playful paintings and sculptures on one of the last days of the show. For those of you who missed it, we took some photos so you can enjoy it as much as we did.
Stopmotion We Love :: The Sandpit by Sam O’Hare
There are many reasons why we LOVE The Sandpit by Sam O’Hare. First of all, it captures our neighborhood and New York City beautifully. Secondly, he takes stop motion & the miniature “tilt-shift” look to a whole new level. Finally, the soundtrack by Human is quite perfect AND we also get to read more about his process here.
Photographers We Love :: Matilde Campodónico
By contributing artist Jennifer Cendaña Armas
Matilde Campodónico: my favorite photographer and a friend I love. Her use of space is wondrous to me, the shapes of her subjects are so crisp, and a sense of curiosity always seems to peek out. I can´t help but think, ¨She is meant to be doing this.¨
I first discovered her photos of musicians. A touch of Google and I found work ranging from past exhibitions to current events photos in The Associated Press. After more Googling and some praying, I had my own session with Mati in Uruguay, where she resides. She is just as fabulous in person as I hoped (and also one great tour guide of Montevideo).
