Exhibition by Banksy
Reviewed by Julie “Jigsaw” Ashcraft
Smiling adults and cheery children wait patiently outside before gaining free admittance to this popular exhibition. Why isn’t one of the children riding the mechanical dolphin out front? Well, the dolphin is covered with a net. Does that mean it’s broken? No. Why is the rabbit in the window putting on lipstick? Cosmetics are tested on the eyes and skin of–wait! Are those baby chicks in the next window? OMG, those are little chicken nuggets dipping themselves in sauce!! Continue reading

Gilbert & George
By: Danii Oliver
Drugs, sexuality, colors, pretty men, youth, faith. These are the terms that spoke out loud quietly behind the glass on the walls of the Gilbert and George show at the Brooklyn Museum of Art. The Gilbert & George show was comprised of a retrospect of their lives’ work. Each piece represented a concern of male youth. Gilbert & George explore those concerns and graphically give us a framed day in the life of.

Sorry that this is so wack! I have no clue on how to build a Digital Image. I only know Painting and Drawing or Photography. Putting the two together is like Picking my nose and trying to find where to put the booger while standing infront of a room full of people.
Gothic: Dark Glamour
Glamorous, unique, and spontaneous were my thoughts as I walked through the exhibit of Gothic: Dark Glamour at Fashion Institution of Technology (FIT). Gothic has always been portrayed as a dark, mysterious, and usually a very negative symbol. Through out the history, Gothic style has been known as seductive, powerful, artistic and suspicious. However, it brought a whole new ideology to autisms and made it more attractive. The attractiveness I experienced was by this dress that I could not keep my eyes off. It was a red silk dress designed by Eiko Ishioka, wore in a movie called Bram Stoker’s Dracula in 1992. Continue reading

Banksy
The semi-anonymous Banksy is a notorious British street artist who is known for his small painting of a can of soup, in honor of Andy Warhol—that he sneaked onto a gallery wall at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City. Recently he had posted up enormous billboards with rats doing various activities which represented New York City. One rat, at Howard and Broadway, is holding a briefcase filled of money accompanied with text that reads, “Let them eat crack.” Another is found whitewashing the wall at the corner Houston and MacDougal that states, “There’s no such thing as good publicity.” The last rat wears an “I heart New York” shirt at Grand and Wooster. When word had spread that he had opened his first exhibit at 89 Seventh Avenue South in early October, being highly interested in the works of street artists, I decided to visit the exhibit to soak in a rather amusing experience and a brilliant use of animatronics. Banksy’s eccentric art is refreshingly new and emphasizes his signature twisted humor no matter what the canvas may be.

Sidney Mishkin Gallery
This week I got a chance to visit the Sidney Mishkin Gallery of Baruch College. The gallery is hosting a show call Recasting the Figure in Photography. The main themes were portraits, diversity, and identity. The exhibit features famous photographers from as early as the 1930s to the late 1980s. At first I was a bit skeptical about visiting the gallery but since it was a class trip orchestrated by Professor Sussman, I had no other choice. It was my second visit to a photography gallery for a report and I had the illusion that Baruch College could not suffice as a gallery host. I’m sure the recent budget cuts for the art department would support my assumption. Despite the skepticism, I found myself to be astonished by the work.
