Take a Peek at the Beautiful Brain Exhibit at NYU's Grey Art Gallery

2018-03-04T17:00:00-05:00

"The Beautiful Brain" at NYU's Grey Art Gallery features the drawings of Santiago Ramón y Cajal (Spain, 1852–1934). Known as the father of modern neuroscience, Cajal is credited with discovering intricate functions of the brain long before the benefits of modern medical imaging. His astonishing and detailed drawings represent the intersection of art and science while portraying the infinite complexity of the human brain. Juxtaposed with colorful contemporary visualizations of the brain, nearly 80 of Cajal's images are on display in this first U.S. museum exhibition featuring his work.

Hanksy "Grows Up", Drops Moniker and Puns Starting With One-Night Chinatown Gallery Exhibition

2017-10-25T11:30:00-04:00

After five years of pun-filled wheat pastes and murals, street artist Hanksy is dropping his moniker and using his given name Adam Lucas moving forward with original art of a less humorous tone. Starting with a 1-night exhibition at 151 Canal Street on November 8th, 2017 titled Some Grow Up, Others Grow Down, the name "Hanksy" will be retired.

‘Some Grow Up, Others Grow Down’ Nov 8th @ 151 Canal St NYC. New show, new art, new (actual) name.

The artist formerly known as "Hanksy" is perhaps most famous for his excellent Dump Trump mural back in 2015.

[VIDEO] Meet Avi Gitler and His "Pay What You Wish" Bookstore in Harlem

2017-07-21T10:30:00-04:00

In this film from one of our favorite local video producers Chris Ming Ryan and his company Wheelhouse Communications, learn all about gallery owner Avi Gitler and his temporary "Pay What You Wish" exhibit/bookstore.

Avi Gitler is the owner of Gitler &___. The gallery is located in upper Manhattan on 150th and Broadway. If you've ever been to 150th and Broadway you know that there aren't many galleries there... […] The gallery's current installation is a pay what you wish used bookstore. I'd never seen a pay what you wish bookstore, so I figured I would find out what the gallery and Avi were all about. […] After spending a little time there -- I quickly found out that this is a place where people of all different backgrounds congregate, kibbitz, and look at art. Make a point of stopping by.

2017-02-06T09:00:00-05:00

Visual artist Portia Munson's new exhibit is one that may contrast to your average contemporary art exhibit. "The Garden" is currently on display at PPOW Gallery in Chelsea, and highlights a feminist’s perspective on our ever-changing environments and the fleeting nature of time.

While one room has detailed and vibrant quilts that drape the ceilings, another is filled with elaborate, painted dolls. Munson's exhibit combines her work from the 1990s to work from today, providing a unique commentary on how femininity is portrayed in society, presenting itself as a visually stimulating garden of girly delights.

Check out the exhibit page gallery for more info on the The Garden or Munson. Be sure to check it out now while you can, it’s only up and running until February 11th!

Hanksy to Bring Back Surplus Candy LA Virtual Reality Gallery Event Next Week on LES

2016-10-05T08:22:58-04:00

Our favorite parodical street artist Hanksy is back again next week with his "Surplus Candy LA" event at 359 Grand St. on the Chinatown/Lower East Side border.

Thanks to a DIY 360 camera rig held together by rubber bands, the NYC-based artist was able to document the entire exhibition in 3D. The end result is Surplus Candy VR, a one-of-a-kind vast virtual experience that allows users to “choose their own adventure” and tour the entire house (30+ rooms) in all its painted glory. Sans paint fumes.

Surplus Candy VR will be launching exclusively in NYC on October 14th via an exhibition in Lower Manhattan. Artwork from LA takeover will be on display as well as multiple VR headsets allowing users to tour the transitory exhibition. A short film documenting the LA event from Dega Films will also premiere. The exhibition will run from October 14-16.

The experience will then be placed online October 17th, allowing anyone with an internet connection to virtually tour this unique art exhibition. Surplus Candy VR works with or without VR goggles.

Event/Exhibition Details:

October 14th-16th

359 Grand Sreet NYC

Friday Oct 14th 6-8pm (press preview)

Friday Oct 14th 8-10pm (public opening)

Find Utopia on Staten Island at Snug Harbor's Latest Exhibit

2016-07-27T12:11:30-04:00

In Snug Harbor's latest exhibit Eutopia, a group of seven artists from the creative agency Vanderbilt Republic attempt to depict the concept of a utopia.

One of the exhibit's most striking installations is a whimsical, white-lighted glass house, created by Carlton Scott Sturgill. Inside Sturgill's slice of paradise is a bedroom filled with flowers, growing from the mattress, the ground and the walls. Look carefully, and the viewer sees the flowers are made of cloth — Ralph Lauren shirts, upon even closer inspection.

The exhibit will remain in Snug Harbor until September 11th. With all the dystopian current events occurring the pieces help imagine a brighter future.
