My mom asked me if I wanted to do a small trip to Boston just to do something different, so I said yes I would go. It was an artful time, we went to the Harvard Gallery as well as the Fine Art Gallery as well. On our way home we stopped at a sculpture park. It was a nice trip besides the hotel and sleeping on the couch which was like a rock.
I was going to go to the city last week but the fires from Canada took over NYC and I did not want to get sick, so I decided to go the following week (aka yesterday). I wanted to go back to Chelsea and hit a ton of galleries. I forgot how many galleries that were explored as well as walking over 17k steps. The main reason I went to the city was to see the Avedon show since I have always wanted to see his work in person. It was definitely a fun experience. Got to see all kinds of art as well as take a handful of photos.
A celebration of Ellsworth Kelley - Thank you to Jack Shear and the Foundation. A once in a life time show case of one of the greatest abstract artists.
Well I went to the city by my self as well as met up with people from Clubhouse. People who I been talking with and following for 2+ years.
First time doing this kind of thing- broke a lot of comfortzones and a bit more confidence as well. I mostly walked around Chelsea, HighLine, Penn, The Met and a few other spots.
I knew that I was going to catch up with friends in the mid/late afternoon so I walked around and knew since I live in NY i can go to the MET for free. Hit a few of the galleries.
Spent more money then I maybe should have but learned from the “ experience”. Took Uber, Taxi, Subway.
Battery died so I found an AT&T store, which allowed me to charge my phone as I waited for my ride/friend to pick me up to meet with other friends. Hung out, went to a lounge, Peir, Restaurant, Speakeasy. I decided I was a bit to overwhelmed with being tired so I left and hugged and said bye to everyone. It was differently something I will remember.
I had my first show of the year as well as the galleries first show of the year after they had some damage to the space. I have shown in her studio before and is one of my favorite galleries in the area. ( Darcy Simpson Artworks)
Ellen and I have a conversation about my growth as an painter and as a person in the last handful of years. The slashes to these landscapes and what the slashes were a symbol of and now these more “photographic like abstract landscapes.
