2010 Fountain Alternative Art - Not Cutting-Edge at All



So 5th Avenue presents: Alexandra Suzanne Greenawalt and Maureen Schreyer as they venture onto the Frying Pan to view the 2010 Fountain alternative art exhibition, very trippy-at one point we saw a woman just spinning (like to know what was in her breakfast;) & perhaps that is why it had its most successful incarnation to date $125,000. While art may be in the eye of the beholder, we missed the breakfast and weren't buying the art. The only thing we loved was the venue, the Frying Pan is fantastical. Give us your thoughts.

My Life in a NYC Modern Day Nunnery



So I spilled the beans - I am writing a book/screenplay called "My Life in a NYC Modern Day Nunnery" - if I could produce any film, this would be the one:). I was so fortunate to be included in this short with a group of 82 women working in the film and television industry one for every year of the Oscars, including Academy Award winner Barbara Kopple (1976: Harlan County USA, 1991: American Dream), actress Chyna Layne (Precious) and producer Neda Armian (Rachel Getting Married) to name just a few. Congratulations Kathryn Bigelow !

Print-topia Liberty for London Pop Up Store




Don't you just love a pop up store? Fresh in time for spring is the Liberty for London Target on 6th avenue at 41st street across the street from Bryant Park. Inside is a print-topia of floral design. I was drawn to the peacock print throw pillows, impressed by the print bicycles-so green, and purchased some cute dresses for my nieces. For the price of one expensive dress I got 4. Not bad. Hurry as the pop up store is only here till Saturday!

Breaking the Rules playfully at the Independent

<

Everywhere I looked they said not to call the Independent an art fair/show. Ok collaborative, artistic gathering..well I thought it was genius. Such playfulness and fun art. I really felt there was an invitation to interact/react/participate in the show. So much more relaxing than the Armory show.. Here's a few snippets of my fav's.

Art is everywhere. 5th Avenue x 29th Street


Funny how it's the simple things in life that brighten you night...like looking up.
I was delighted to see this art light installation at the corner of 5th avenue and 29th street. It's not part of any of the Art week shows officially but would love to know who is the creator behind the changing colors. Thanks!

ANOTHER hairy chest?


So far we've gone to the Armory show, Volta, Scope, Red Dot and Pulse..but here's my top pic from the fashion curated MARKT show at Scope by artist Sandra Backlund. I've been wearing a bit of fur this year (don't shoot me they're vintage and it's cold) but this takes it to another level. This piece is made of fake and REAL hair. I love all the intricate braiding and find the front side very wearable but the backside oddly reminds me of Princess Leah. Would love to hear your thoughts..
