The card for this Gallery looks really nice. When I got to the gallery I was slightly underwhelmed by the continuous small spaces with focused shots of artist's work. Then I saw this.
Type! It made me extremely happy, since at the time I was experimenting with type in my paintings. In almost every painting this artist did he hides single characters of type in his paintings that don't immediately jump out at you. However, once you know to look for them they seem to pop up out of no where.
Best one right here probably. Nice compositions and the palette isn't too limited or extreme. Nice happy medium. Plus it's got type.

The next gallery was recommended to me by Bradford Rusick. Upon arriving to the gallery it made a lot of sense to me. It was looking at a twin of Rusick's who was really into collage. Look carefully! there are like dolls and shit glued to that panel. That's a sticker in the top left hand corner. No joke, sticker. Add that to a strange but pleasing color sense, with nice line calligraphy that means nothing. All this together and you have an interesting show which was also just one room.

After that I attempted to exit chelsea and try to head to time square. I got a bit sidetracked and ran into this interesting painting.
then this one
and this one
The final note is getting lost in Chelsea is wonderful, since you always seem to run into galleries on every block that you weren't expecting.

This gallery was hidden on the 20th floor of the rockefeller center in time square, and hidden for a reason, as it was a treasure trove of wonderful paintings. The receptionist didn't really know what she was doing so I ran amok with my camera and got some nice stuff for you.

This is 3-d. Like latex figures or something.
I'm not familiar with this artist, if you are please let me know.
Alice O'neal

Picasso

I named most of them does that mean I get an A for art history? Anyways this was a great show just to see some big names. What was even better was the Gagosian Gallery.

"Go Figure" Exhibition

Schedule: From 2009-05-09 To 2009-08-21
Address: 980 Madison Ave., New York, NY 10075

These people had their shit going on and immediately that I wasn't allowed to use my camera in the gallery. Was probably lucky to get this picture off. Anyways I saw Nude Descending Staircase here, so I feel special.

After that place was the MET for the Francis Bacon show and the MoMa for a failed attempt to meet a certain spoken word poet. Both were free, but I wasn't able to get in contact with the poet which was half of the reason I went down there.

I might upload the pictures from those two museums, but it wasn't really anything that I hadn't seen before, or wasn't extremely crowded to take pictures. Also around this time I hit some switch on the camera that made it take like 5 seconds for exposure, which was messing up the pictures. Anyways until next time.
