Crushed Velvet Dreams

Still reporting from SoPo here..hopefully power and my cozy East River Apartment is in my near future though! I have been dying to edit and post some of the photographs from the trip to Brazil I went on right before the Hurricane hit. Unfortunately those photographs are all on my precious computer back home.. so until then here are some (not the best quality) photographs taken with my iphone & instagram. I attended the Sao Paulo Biennial, Sao Paulo’s Museum of Modern Art, the Itau Cultural, and many, many galleries. Can’t wait till I can share all the amazing art I saw during my week stay.

Today was quite the day. I started @ Chelsea Market, celebrated a friend’s birthday @ Grey Dog (amazing sandwiches) then wandered the streets of Chelsea hitting up the galleries that braved the summer crowds and are actually open. (There aren’t many). It was an adventurous day full of laughter, art & blazing heat, trust me there’s no buildings out there in Chelsea to block that relentless sun. Here is what I found.
