Honestly, I’m bias. I love PS1. They come through every time. Last minute desperate need for a space? PS1. Class project where you need to get into the space at 1am? PS1.  Wanna see the Sisterhood of Traveling Clowns? P S 1. The people who work there are amazing humans and deserve everything good in the world. And the space is so amazing and easy to manipulate and there’s a lot of it! Go to PS1. Use PS1. Donate. Love the space.

....I might have several new art blogs to check out daily and what is the harm in that? My favorites that I saw where 16 miles of string, Hyperallergic, and Bad At Sports. I’ll definitely be checking it out! They ranged from contemporary art to activism. All things that I very much enjoy!

... Oh come on. You know I had to click on “Art in odd places”! Is anyone surprised.

From art that was meant to be stepped on to a cat walk across the street, this is full of art that I would also like to do at some point in my life.

Smack Mellon Artist Studio Program  is the link I clicked. I read about the fellowship, felt that familiar “You’ll never amount to this level there’s already so many artists” pang that I assume most artists go through when they’re in college. As I clicked around on the people being considered, I found this fellow. Henry Bermudez. First of all. How. Second of all, I’ll just crawl into a hole now and not come out until this guy stops doing... that. Look at it. It’s so cool, How is he doing it, I ask you. 

Whatever. I love it.

residencies. Yikes. That’s a whole lot of Future I am Not Ready For. But I looked around anyways. There’s one in NY that seems pretty fun. And one In MN that I also like the look of.Residencies are so far off my radar at the moment. I’ve only just figured out what I want to do in a broad sense. I definitely need to focus in

Rubell Family Collection/Contemporary Arts Foundation is the worlds largest privately owned collection of art available to the public. They also have internships! There’s so much cool stuff on this site I really want to go to it. It’s in Florida!

I’m just gonna post some of the cool art that I found on there because woah!!

The second line is from the “New Shamans” collection. Artists and names of work from left to right;  Martyrdom - Thiago Martins de Melo; the middle image was just on the header but I love it; assume vivid astro focus - Eli Sudbrack

Third Row, from High Anxiety: New Acquisitions. Artists/work:  Gibbet Island and Lewis Smith at Black Watch Pass - Cy Gavin; Cost of Living - Josh Kline

There’s so much happening I love this place!!

Horror is definitely something I love and always end up back at when I’m thinking of my of art. This was a surprising find in the Meow Wolf site. Everything screamed neon and color and lights. But I also love challenging concepts and preconceived notions. For example, that color can not be scary or eerie. In these spaces, which was the first time this space had been divided into different smaller spaces, it was so refreshing to see so many different takes to horror. 

I really enjoy this site and I bookmarked it for inspiration later!

The White Cube is just a cool name for a gallery honestly. That’s initially what drew me to it, but seeing what artists do in it is just so much more amazing than I anticipated.

The first three images are Rachel Kneebone’s sculptures. In order there is “Bewitching Balls Triptych”; “399 Days”; and “It is Harder to Limit a Disturbance Already Begun “. All of her work has to do with the human body are you catching on to the theme haha and I just love looking at them all. There’s something very disturbing about the distortion of the bodies. 

Next, when I went to leave the site and explore more, this exhibition called “Screams” by Christian Marclay popped up and I was intrigued. The whole space is filled with black and white s=drawing of screaming figures. Which is another thing I love. The use of black and white in a space to create feeling and weight. 

Very very cool, will continue to explore.

I poked around on almost all the sites in the list, and New Museum in NYC caught my attention the most. This is an image from an exhibition happening there right not, called “Triggered: Gender as a Tool and a Weapon” On the site it says that it “ investigates gender’s place in contemporary art and culture at a moment of political upheaval and renewed culture wars. “ Which drew my eye right away, since I am also very interested in gender. Definitely listen to all the “Dig Deeper” audio things. Really really cool.

From all the images I can find of it. It seems like something I would really enjoy. And the New Museum also looks like a place I would definitely want to go to!

FreakShow | Kind of like a trailer honestly. I just thought it would be cool to make a video.

This is for the meaningless work we had to do for intermedia concepts. Watching it render for an hour added to the meaningless...ness?
