Pre-Opening Weekend

The new Whitney Museum in the Meat Packing district at the end of the Highline does not disappoint. The museum has an amazing outdoor stair walk that takes you from floor to floor while giving your eyes and senses a rest between exhibits. Genius!

Sitting area in the back of the museum allow you to rest and take in the sights of the Hudson river. Free entry on May 2, 2015. Check it out.

Philip-Lorca diCorcia

East of Eden

Reflecting the down times of the economy post 2008 market crash, Philip-Lorca diCorcia references the biblical book of genesis showcasing a pervasive sense of disillusionment. Photography looks great especially with no annoying glass to interfere with the viewing of the images. I which more photography shows were presented this way.

Lisa Yuskavage

David Zwirner Gallery

Amazing paintings that reference historical painting styles and epochs. Very reminiscent of a mash-up of 1970′s pixies and child like anime style with a little 1970′s playboy porn added to the panache. I especially like the painting entitled “Dude looks like Jesus”. Check it out now through June 13, 2015.

Anton Kern Gallery

Great show by the British painter/humorist/dry wit man. Naive approach with a wit and a bite that gives you that “Smile in the mind” On view through May 23, 2015.

The sculptures are a wild combination of materials speaking about ones’ cultural identity in an urban context. Check it out this Thursday night. Also Bill Jensen has a show of triptychs. His painting style is more of an uncovering process, whereby he teases out the image through repetitive painting and scraping until the final image is realized. Check it out.

Peter Anton

Foodhist Temple

Unix Gallery

Really cool immersive environment. You take off your dirty NYC poop stained shoes and enter a lush world of red. Carpet is red, walls are red, lighting is muted. It makes you want to stop a while and admire the food sculptures and contemplate the … pizza! Very shrine like and fun. Definitely check this out before it ends on May 9, 2015
