In New York and still unsure about your Friday night plans? There’s an opening reception (read: free wine, interesting people) tonight at A.A.C.-recommended Like the Spice Gallery. Better yet, the exhibition is based on a really smart idea for an up-and-coming gallery: Like the Spice is pleased to present Off the Clock, a group exhibition [...]

In celebration of being accepted as a volunteer tour guide at the Metropolitan Museum of Art (well, sort of, there are nine months of training before I get started; I did get fingerprinted and my ID, though!), here are the recent happenings at the Met as told by its biggest fan, the New York Times: [...]

For those of you in search of ideas for a cultural outing this weekend, might I recommend “Muslim Voices: Arts & Ideas,” an arts festival showing the work of more than 100 Muslim artists (visual artists, filmmakers, musicians and dancers) from 23 countries. The festival, co-sponsored by NYU’s Center for Dialogues, the Brooklyn Academy of Music and the Asia [...]

The year was 1992. My dad purchased the first-ever 3D horror survival game for the computer: Alone in the Dark. I remember sitting perched in the den’s chair at night with all the lights on and the curtains firmly pulled shut because I was so scared by the vivid graphics of zombies popping out of [...]
Louvre Abu Dhabi…really?

I’m going to make a very rough metaphor, bare with me. Someone pompous once said that “you can take the boy out of the Midwest, but you can’t take the Midwest out of the boy.” Similarly, the nouveau riche United Arab Emirates throws money at massive international projects to put themselves on the map (and [...]
Francis Bacon: A Centenary Retrospective opens at Met
Posted in Exhibitions, tagged art, Francis Bacon, George Dyer, Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York City, painting on May 21, 2009 | 1 Comment »
It’s like Francis Bacon week on The Amateur Art Collector! A big retrospective of his opened at the Met yesterday, but to surprisingly little buzz in New York as far as I can tell. There’s also a related lecture tomorrow at 6pm that’s free with museum admission. Here’s the official website and blurb: The first [...]
California exhibit investigates “blind photography”
Posted in Exhibitions, tagged art, blind photography, California Museum of Photography, Douglas McCulloh, Pete Eckert, photography, Sight Unseen on May 18, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
I’m completely intrigued by a new exhibit at the California Museum of Photography entitled Sight Unseen. While the images being displayed don’t have any visual elements in common, the thematic glue is that all of the photographers are legally blind. Take a second– a medium more or less originally developed with the intention to capture [...]

The much-hyped Avedon Fashion 1944-2000 opens today at the International Center for Photography in New York City and runs through early fall. The curators, Carol Squires and Vince Aletti, discuss the exhibit in a lovely NY Times audio slide show: click here. And here’s the description of the exhibition from the ICP: Richard Avedon (1923-2004) [...]
