pictures and snippets from 2 daytrips running about the many art fairs this March 27-30 in NYC. We got to check out PulseNY, Volta , ArtNow, LA Art, Pool, and ScopeNY. Never made it to the Armory, Diva, Red Dot, or anything else. Luckily I only had to pay for Art LA and Volta and had free rides in and out of nyc. I was of course overloaded after just one fair and wanted to just sit in a cafe and write. whew. But I'm glad I got to see as much as I did. You'll probably notice a theme to the things that drew me this time around...I'm just obsessed with trash, development and the intersections of wild and manmade.


I'm as mesmerized by the views as the art. Pulse NY fair 2008. view from Pier 40....can't shake this waking dream feeling...it is the anniversary of when I had the Pier10 dreamvision on March 25th 1999.

and as I gaze out this window I can somehow see the Pier10 Dome...?


ok..back to this dimension....one of my favorite finds at Pulse was artist Tara Tucker's work at Rena Bransten Gallery.:

So I go to see my friend Jane's show in the permanent collection gallery of the Islip Museum...and then there just HAPPENS to be a show in the main galleries that is allllll on recycled art?? I can't believe how perfect this is to where my head is at.

Making the Most of It

"Curator Karen Shaw presents artists who critique our consumer culture and
wasteful ways by turning mundane throw-away materials into fantastic
treasures."

THIS piece was my favorite!! I love it so much that I'm sad that I didn't make it!! ever get that? cellular information ittybitties all obsessively rolled up?...*drool*

shredded financial papers, glue



and just for my current shredder lust...there is an interactive centerpiece to the next room: le shredder.(?!!?) as you enter the room you are handed a piece of colored paper (old flyers) to shred to add to the sculpture. (!)
