Mapplethorpe EXHIBIT!

On May 7 an exhibition opened in Chelsea  showcasing 50 of Robert Mapplethorpe’s photographs.

The curatorial approach is pretty original; they asked one resident of each of the 50 states to pick a photograph and explain why.

FOR EXAMPLE: “An Illinois resident picked for its expression of “the human desire to hold something ethereal that cannot be held.”

Our trip to the Graduate Center

I decided to print this image from our trip to the gallery not only because I like it, but because it seems to fit well with the theme of this class.

Just Kids…

For our discussion this week, I thought you’d like to see Patti Smith live:

And here’s some of Robert Mapplethorpe’s photography.

“Real New Yorker”

I came across these two NY1 commercials about being a “real new yorker”. The first video reminded me of the discussion during class about being nonchalant when spotting a celebrity around the city.
