art

The weekend of the Armory Art show brought more than five other art fairs to Manhattan - we were chock full of art in this city. Erik and I started our art weekend in Williamsburg, Brooklyn (NYC's premiere hipster haven). There we stopped by several galleries including a few you will see here: Black & White, Jack the Pelican, Pierogi and Supreme Trading among others. For some odd reason we started our trek to Billyburg in DUMBO, makes no sense, but it happened. Even though we stayed up way too late on Saturday night, we were up bright and early to beat the crowds at the Armory Show at the Pier 94. Highlight of the Armory show had to be the two Bill Viola video installations we saw - simply mesmerizing. Be warned: this ain't no Disney art, it's 'edgy' and once in a while naughty. All I have to say is 'Magic Fingers!!!!'
