Hey guys, I found myself in Barnes & Noble the other day where I came across a handy pocket guide book for New York. I figured this would be a nice way to familiarize myself with New York and our upcoming stay there, and it has a handy map as well as some pretty stellar unbiased restaurant listings. It’s from the Lonely Planet company, and I highly recommend giving it a gander if that tickles your fancies.

Great video that illustrates just how prolific John Baldessari is. – Ella Ordona

I’m not only excited to see the artwork within the museums and galleries New York has to offer, but the artwork out on the streets as well. With its five boroughs, New York has varying styles of street art done in marker, spray paints, and brush.
Take a peek at this project done back in 2010 by college students from Lewis & Clark College, where they catalogued street art in the different neighborhoods of NYC. LINK

I hope we will have the opportunity to take either the 
or 
trains departing from DeKalb Avenue. I would really like to experience Bill Brand’s public art project that was instilled in the subway tunnel.

I’m also super stoked to check out the small galleries I’ve been following online.
HJGS, Gladstone Gallery, and Muddguts are just a few of them. – Ella Ordona
Dolores Salcedo’s retrospective will be on view at the Guggenheim starting June 26. For anyone who is curious about Salcedo’s work, there’s an excellent segment featured on PBS’s Art21. Here is an opportunity to hear her speak about her work and see how it is made. The segment is about 15 to 20 mins long. Check it out! http://www.pbs.org/art21/artists/doris-salcedo

The One World Trade Center, the tallest building in America, is opening it’s observatory in the top three levels on May 29th. Kind of expensive but might be something to check out.
