Happy #tbt to calm before the storm @diaartfoundation with Donald Judd. 📦📦📦 I took a couple days off earlier this week for a mental wellness break. For those of you who are still working from home, make sure you make some time for yourself if you're feeling exhausted. 🤗💙 It's easy to get lost in the trenches during this time but a few days off can make the world a difference. 🤍 Be good to yourself.

Happy Earth Day everyone! 🌎 A common enemy has the power to unite. Covid19 has proven that despite politics, we can come together and take control of our futures. 🤝🙏 How has quarantine affected your relationship with the planet? Personally for me, I am a lot more aware of my consumption levels and have been trying my best to create less waste and recycle more. ♻️🌍🚮 — Throwing it back to the "Blu Marble" installation by @sebastianstudio @richardtaittingergallery last year which reminds us of our collectivity with a giant live feed of the planet we call home. 🏡🍬🏡 (at Richard Taittinger Gallery) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_SP3EMFSVg/?igshid=1jnmtmwkkm7nn

Every Easter, I think of about @jeffkoons. 😆 Somehow subconsciously, they are now synonymous: sweet, airy and full of life. 🌷🐇🥚Happy Easter art lovers! Are chocolate eggs an essential yet? 😷🍫🏪 (at Christie's) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-5uthVFZfG/?igshid=1fmp5i6azhm28

This is timelessness. 💚💛 Again and again, we find ourselves in similar places and seeing Hooper's paintings now feel so strangly comforting. They succinctly capture that sense of longing, of silence and of loneliness that keeps us up at night. However, they also remind us that we've been here before and that the best is yet to come. 🤍💛#fbf to @artinstitutechi. I had a marvelous day. Fingers crossed for big things in the future. 🤞 #edwardhopper #nighthawks (at The Art Institute of Chicago) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-iZ0GmlwaD/?igshid=l3rtxpvl8jtx

Hey guys! Hope you all had a wonderful weekend. When @fomofeed invited me to participate in their #fomofeedathome challenge, I wasn’t sure what I wanted to suggest. But now that I’ve gotten into the habit of the new normal, I’m excited to share with you some great tips that’s been serving me well. At first reality felt overwhelming but I’ve moved on and am now more determined than ever to make the most out of this quarantine! Everything’s going to be okay and we’re going to get out of this stronger, kinder and better human beings. In the meanwhile, try out some of my recommendations below and let me know when you do! 1. 🚰🔁 Start a new routine! It’s a great time to jumpstart a new healthy habit. An easy one that I’ve been doing to drink more water. There’s a bunch of apps out there that help you keep track of your intake and sends you reminders to keep hydrated. Your skin will look better than ever. 2. 👨‍🎨🎨 Make art! I splurged on art supplies, but it doesn’t take much to create art! A notepad and a pencil is all you need to get started. I’ve been sketching my boyfriend’s plants as often as I can, and it’s been a great way to calm my nerves. 3.👷‍♂️🛠️ Home Projects! In the past 2 weeks, my boyfriend and I have painted almost every single wall in our apartment. We also re-organized all of our furniture while consolidating and deep cleaning the whole entire place! Marie Condo would be proud. #somuchjoy   4.👨‍🏫🌎 Learn a new language! Admittedly, my Spanish lessons have slowed down significantly since the quarantine but @duolingo is a free app that makes learning a new language easy and fun. Imagine a world where you get out of quarantine speaking a whole new language.   5.💭🔮Make a vision board. Bae and I came up with a great idea to put our new printer to work. It’s easy to spiral into darkness during these times. Instead why not imagine a better and brighter future? With all the time we have for self-reflection, what matters to us most is now more evident than ever. Print out images that speak to your envisioned future and pin them up on a wall. It’ll be a great reminder that the best is yet to come. 📸: @newmuseum @martaminujin (at New Museum) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-XAtc5Fq7n/?igshid=gadga5np1lz9

Things are changing so quickly every day and today I'm spired by Yoko Ono's mural @themuseumofmodernart to not only to think and act peace but to think and act peacefully. 💙✌️☮️ We're gonna get through this folks and we will rise stronger and closer than ever. 💪💙🔥 (at MoMA The Museum of Modern Art) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-LBBHflb5L/?igshid=hm65mc1t1id3

"Silence is so accurate" - Mark Rothko. Ain't that the truth in this time of social distancing. 🧡😶💙 I was over the moon last night to see that "Red" a play about Mark Rothko and the Seagram murals was available to stream for FREE on @broadwayhd along with a wide selection of all your favorite musical theatre hits. If you're a Rothko fan, definitely check it out! 💙💙💙 Throwing it back to just under a year ago @sfmoma, introducing bae to my love of Rothko. — No. 14, 1960 1960 (at SFMOMA San Francisco Museum of Modern Art) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-FAp7PF50S/?igshid=1wcpxjwpb8o12

Spring is here! 🌷💐🌺🌻🌼 To celebrate, I thought I'd inject a jolt of color into your mornings with some of my favorite works of color in my archives. 🎨🌈 Remember guys!

It's hard to believe that just a few weeks ago it was Armory Week and I was walking around DIA with no idea what was to come. Circling around Michael Heizer's large scale installation, it almost felt like it was drawing me in, pulling me into it's depths. Somehow that sense of gravity seems to mirror how I've been feeling these days. #stormy ⚫ #michaelheizer @diaartfoundation (at Dia:Beacon) https://www.instagram.com/p/B95StXelNLi/?igshid=zlokgh0ruqqv

Alright enough doom and gloom! Happy St. Patty's day. 🍀🧣💚 I went through my archives and found 3 of my favorite green installation over the years. Send me yours! And I'll post them. 💚 1. James Turrell, Verte Juke, 1968. @mbamtl 2. Dan Flavin, Untitled (to you, Heiner, with admiration and affection), 1973. @diaartfoundation 3.

I haven't posted in a few days. I've tried a few times but would immediately be at a lost for words. I seem to pivot back and forth between fear and optimism so I've been keeping busy to keep my mind from going astray. 😬😶🙂 One thing that I've started doing this week is a drawing a day. When I'm drawing, I'm focused and it calms my nerves. I chose plants because it reminds me of beauty and the outside. Despite the looming cloud, I'm determined to make this quarantine a positive experience. Art may be the only way we can begin to capture and express the experience of the times. If post-war brought upon Abex, who knows what artistic breakthrough may come from this. 🤔 How are you coping with all the life changes? Share with me your stories! I want to hear them. #keepartalive #coronavirus #quarantine (at Bedford–Stuyvesant, Brooklyn) https://www.instagram.com/p/B91ijgTFsw6/?igshid=l3e28ndmu6nx

Suddenly this work reads very differently. The violence of the cannon, the visceral textures of the wax, the shock of the explosion, it all seems to mirror the sense of reality that everyone is trying to ignore. ♥️🖤♥️ Happy birthday @dirty_corner! #tbt to a few weeks ago at @fundacion_proa in sunny Argentina. 😍🌞🎊 — Shooting into the Corner II, 2008-2009 Anish Kapoor (at Fundación Proa) https://www.instagram.com/p/B9pGrlGFVWd/?igshid=1himw1bp9vbqj

Not big on art fairs? Don't forget! Judd is now open to the public at the MoMa. I went last week and I'm still thinking about it. 💙🟫🚶‍♂️I myself am sneaking out of the city to @diaartfoundation for a special performance tonight. 👯‍♂️ Check back later for more! @themuseumofmodernart #judd — Untitled, 1992 (at MoMA The Museum of Modern Art) https://www.instagram.com/p/B9bzxPWF1VV/?igshid=p4om339cl80o

I was gonna save this one for pride but I couldn't wait. 🌈😇 Jennifer Guidi's first exhibition with Gagosian in New York is now open! Titled after her own astrological sign, "Gemini" explores the dualities of light and darkness, abstract and figuration, science and mysticism.
