Video on the Poetic Quarrel at Modern Art Museum

There is a "Poetic Quarrel" at the Modern Art Museum of NY, now known as MOMA, and it is all on video. Join the fun. See the minimalist Marina Abramovic being put to the test. Can she avoid reacting when right on film, the phrase is thrown to her on a canvas veil: I am a nurse from New Zealand. That's enough to shut up the usual guys who would love to pick-up a hot artist who is traveling. All and all, I would say that the young artist, actually 33-years old, Amir Baradaran has given the old artist, the aged over 60 Abramovic, a real run for her money. These events occurred on Friday, March 12th, but now they are all on film on the internet.

Bronx River Art Children's Show

The “Sizzling Summer Art Show” was at the Bronx River Arts Center, 4 pm on Friday, August 15th. On display was the Project for a Mixed-Media Installation, which was outside across the street from the Center at 1087 East Tremont Avenue. High School students have been working on the large Collective Mural for six weeks. The themes of the collective work are “Gentrification” and the “Death of Hip-Hop.” St. Aquinas High School student, Ms. Diamond Wynn, sees gentrification coming to the Bronx, with limited affordable housing. At the top of the Collective Mural, there are vultures flying down, representing speculators and franchises shutting down housing and small businesses, while the pigeons represent their prey. According to Diamond, “Hip-Hop started as a positive alternative to gang culture, but now it’s part of the same thing.” The teacher for the project, Abigail DeBille, gives students plenty of room to express themselves.
