When sister comes to town I see art

I tagged along with my sister to galleries and art shows while she was in the city for the annual Armory Art show which is not held at the actual Armory might I add. I got pretty stoked when I heard it called the Armory. I thought they were going to transform the track somehow into a makeshift gallery. I was pretty baffled with this concept and it thrilled me to see it followed through. Too bad this was only a figment of my imagination and doesn’t actually take place.

Anywho, it was a fun filled day full of contemporary art which is not exactly my bag of chips but I always find things that I do appreciate regardless. I am mostly drawn towards colors or anything I can parallel to perhaps a print or draw inspiration from. The New Museum, our first stop, kinda blew. They have an awesome space down in East Village but the art seemed sparse and what is there is not so great. I didn’t take my camera out at all, therefore nothing noteworthy was seen. Next we hit up some art shows. Here are some enticing works I saw:

I love the whole upside down image then seen through the piece of glass right side up. Such an inventive concept. BUT what makes it even cooler is that those are spools of thread! AMAZING!

I have a thing for paper. Whether it be folded origami style or cut-out paper doll style. We actually saw a couple similar pieces throughout the day so it was a popular thing to do I guess.

This blew my mind. It is blown glass! How do you get glass to look identical to bubble wrap?!?!?!
