The Artist Abraham Cruzvillegas and his Latest Exhibition at the Bass Museum

IMG 9393 1 scaled

In recent trip to Miami for a business meeting held at the Bass Museum I came across a rather unique exhibition from the Mexican Artist Abraham Cruzvillegas that provoked in me a desire to know more about this artist and the concept of “auto construcción”comprising of 80 pieces of recycled everyday painted objects practically floating in the air. This exhibition is part of a series of installations by Cruzvillegas on the  concept of “AutoConstruccion” that reflect the conditions of his modest upbringing  in Mexico and how it defines human nature and its impact on the environment.

IMG 9830 1 scaled

 With a forecast of a rainy weekend, my sister and I skipped the beach and decided to hangout in Manhattan. It was nice to see New York swing back to it’s Pre-Covid days.   We were able to book a hotel at a decent price within the Broadway district, in part because the theaters are mostly closed until the fall. We made plans to visit the Musuem of Moderan Art, Hudson Yards, the High Line and the Chelsea neighborhood to both shop and eat……

Banksy Expo: Genius or Vandal Exhibition… A Worthy Investment

IMG 0316 scaled

In the last year, Bansky has been consistently in the news starting with the loss of a two-year court fight in September 2020 over the trademark rights of one of his iconic artworks known as the “Flower Thrower”. In October 2020, amid the pandemic, his “Show me the Monet” painting sold for 10 million. In March 2021 he auctioned “Game Changer” that sold for 22 million donating all the proceeds to a health care charity in response to the COVID crisis. This summer Banksy is back in the news with plenty of ads about an immersive exhibition on his life and art coming to major cities in the US slated for NYC from June- November 2021.

Art Fairs are Slowly Making a Comeback Starting with Frieze

IMG 1659 scaled

During the first week of May, the annual Frieze Art Fair was back in New York City with a lot less pomp than usual. The Frieze Art Fair in NYC happens to be one of my favorite shows. They also sponsor a show in Los Angeles, London and now Seoul. The Frieze Art Fair features an extensive list of local and international contemporary art galleries, and commissioned artists’ projects, as well as variety of art education forums and a magazine .  This year it was not held  at Randall’s Island since the number of galleries was down to about 1/3 and mostly US based. International galleries were missing and clearly the difference was apparent as much of the art work was not as diverse or excitingly. Restrictions to get in were…..

IMG 1499

In search for a cocktail recipe (preferably with Tequila) to celebrate a Covid inspired birthday/anniversary I came across this book of which upon opening it I assumed it would mostly be a collection of cocktail recipes. Little did I know that Ms. Ivy Mix was about to take me on a journey through all of Mexico, the Caribbean and South America on the history and culture of the makings of Tequila, Mezcal, rum, cachacas, pisco and many other Latin-based spirits derived from agave, sugarcane and grapes. If you love exploring the world of cocktail mixology, this book will open your eyes to new spirits less known in the US yet worthy of your taste buds.

Sophia Loren’s New Movie …. Reclaiming the Meaning of Love

pic of a life ahead

I recently came across an interview of Sophia Loren and her son Edoardo Ponti, a filmmaker much like his father and had recently cast his mom in a film that piqued my curiosity.  During the interview at the age of 86,  Sophia was both enchanting and captivating.  At her age, she still evoked a presence of confidence and sensuousness that immediately reminded you of her films as a young starlet.  No doubt in my mind that I had to see this movie featured on Netflix.  Since February is the month of love….

Tired of sheltering and dealing with the cold weather?  We are all yearning when we can begin to do day trips, weekend gateways and make plans to new travel destinations.  A chance to breathe and enjoy the air of a new destination, a welcoming change to our immediate surroundings.    Spring can not arrive soon enough, as many of us are dealing with another dose of snowy, freezing weather. Once the temperature climbs to 40 degrees and hopefully vaccinated, I plan to get away for day trips to  New York City……..

Whoa…What’s Up With Those Funky Chalkboards?

Capture1

We all know that messaging in advertising is powerful in influencing us to purchase something that we didn’t need until they told you must desperately have this. One type of messaging that has drawn my attention for some time and that I enjoy taking photos of is those quirky sidewalk chalkboards that we bump into when strolling thru a commercial area. Today, there are chalkboards everywhere, not quite cluttering the street, yet enough of them to notice how unique they are at engaging an audience. Signs are quick to read and are both funny and……

The Allure of Escapism is Not Lost on Netflix’s Bridgerton

pic pf brdgeton 7 scaled

Over 80 million households have watched Netflix’s Bridgerton since December when it first aired.   The acclaimed Shonda Rhimes has proven that with a limitless budget and creative license she can deliver lavish storytelling that is both provocative and scintillating.   As someone who has always loved period stories, Bridgerton is a  weird combination of Jane Austen, Downtown Abby, and Dynasty. 

 So much elegance,  opulence,  backstabbing, gossiping, and let us not forget love-love-love. Ladies and gents looking for romance and marriage hoping that it brings them both status and happiness (especially status).   In a world of privilege, what could be more important than attending balls, parties, and events in search of the right marriage?  You get to experience the pressure and limitations imposed on these women to have their parents, and in this case, a brother decides…..
