KREWE collaborates with Mazzuchelli to make these Stella shades.
A fresco is made by mixing water-based pigments with plaster, the color is set when the plaster dries. The Sistine Chapel represents the height of Renaissance art. Michelangelo made the world’s most famous fresco by standing up right with his hand titled, not lying on back as many assumed.
Whether or not you’ve been to the Vatican, this art installation is awe inspiring. Now, for the first time you can see clearly see the human form in the eyes of Michelangelo and his references to the biblical tales.
After doing some more research on Michangelo, I learned that his one of the most prolific and greatest artist of all time because he was so versatile. He received praise relatively early in his career and after sculpting the statue David and Pietà, he then commissioned works for the wealthiest and powerful individuals of his day.
Up Close is on display from June 23rd – July 23rd, go check it out.

It doesn’t hurt to visit the Whitney museum with beautiful views of NYC, expansive outdoor installations and a stroll along The High Line. Yet, the real gem is the Biennial exhibit.
I am loving this museum at the moment. I can’t remember when I’ve been to modern art museum and said to myself, I get it. I’m seeing the US from all sides. Yes, there were installations that were painstakingly made, but I had no idea the meaning. There were also political, racial and cultural messaging smacking you in the face. It’s jarring, because its real. Damn it was great to see African American art, artists and topics from Harlem renaissance to a simple cook out. The curators balanced it out, with images of an evangelical baptism in Kansas, industrial presence from Pittsburgh and an abstract of George Washington crossing the Delaware river. All of which deserved thought on where American stands as country in comparison to moments reflected off the walls.
Lastly, I must mention that I was completely engrossed with “Harmony of Difference” by Kamasi Washington. The short had a mesmerizing combination of jazz and human imagery.
“Rei Kawakubo for Comme des Garçons: Art of the In-Between—Gallery Views”
Clothing is art? Not sure, go see this exhibit and then decide. The fabrics, tailoring, wigs and colors fuel this question. If that isn’t enough all of the pieces literally prompt you to decide with titles such as:
Absence/Presence
Design/Not Design
Fashion/Anti-Fashion
Object/Subject
Clothes/Not Clothes
The exhibit is cozy in size and can be viewed in under 45 mins. I love that the exhibit allows viewers to take any route through a maze of pure white massively curved walls, where the clothing peeks through at every turn.
The Rei Kawakubo exhibit was made possible by CONDE NAST and will be on view at The MET until September 4th, 2017.
