source http://www.ai-ap.com/publications/dart/ Is New York becoming the new Stockholm? Judging from the crowds lined up at the East River Ferry’s  34 th  Street pier last weekend , it’s not a bad guess. New York is, after all, an archipelago, with islands of art and culture beckoning. For an art-by cycle-tour of Long Island City and Brooklyn, the ferry company offers an all day hop-on hop-off ticket for $15 – bicycle included.  Information .  Stops  at Long Island City, Greenpoint, North Williamsburg, South Williamsburg, and Brooklyn Bridge Park will get you to venues such as  Socrates Sculpture Park , the  Noguchi Museum and Sculpture Garden ,  MoMA PS1 ,  Photoville , and dozens of art galleries.  WagMa g, the Brooklyn Art Guide , has all you need to know for that borough, including  maps . If you want to continue on to Governors Island (Saturdays, Sundays and Holiday Mondays through September 30th), stay on until the last stop at Pier 11, where boats depart from 10:10 a

really,..not to be missed..@Gagosian Upper East Side

Sometimes, visitors have a better information about what's going on in your city...That was the case last Friday  after a tour I gave in French at the Whitney.The leader of a group of french visitors  LES MARDIS DE L"ART attracted my attention to the exhibit on view at Gagosian. So, the next day, I went...and was not disapointed ..at all....I have to say that in the group was  Mrs  Dominique Dupuis-Labbé  whose advice I could trust.... ( Dominique Dupuis-Labbé  est conservatrice en chef au Service des Musées de France, chargée des acquisitions, de la restauration, de la conservation préventive et de la recherche. Elle est l’auteur de nombreux ouvrages sur Picasso, Monet, et commissaire d’importantes rétrospectives Picasso (Taipei, Tokyo, Rio, Paris et dernièrement Malaga). You better hurry up and visit it before it closes:  IT IS FABULOUS “Picasso and Françoise Gilot” continues through June 30 at the Gagosian Gallery, 980 Madison Avenue, near 77th Street; (212) 744-2313, ga

Rising Dragon: Contemporary Chinese Photography In the Beitzel and Righter Galleries March 25 - September 2, 2012 View images from this exhibition In celebration of the Chinese astrological Year of the Dragon, the KMA presents images by Chinese artists working in their homeland over the past 12 years – a period of astounding social and economic transformation. “I see it as organized chaos,” says curator Miles Barth. “It’s like China itself – a mass of humanity going in every direction at the speed of light. The artists are responding to every aspect of society, everything they see and live.” Subjects addressed range from the rapid urbanization of the country to the opening of the information age through the Internet. Also included are photographic tableaus that reference religion, politics, cultural identity, and the radically changing attitudes towards these societal pillars. Among the photographers represented are Liyu +Liubo,  Li  Wei , Muge, O Zhang,  Tian Taiquan , Yang Yi

TODAY..IN NYC Museum mile festival

Image
CHECK for details http://museummilefestival.org/ MUSEUM MILE FESTIVAL HISTORY Begun as an initiative to spur the development of new museum audiences and to increase support for the arts during the fiscal crisis of the 1970s, Museum Mile was formed as a consortium by the museums that share the Fifth Avenue address. The first festival, held in June of 1978, was an instant success. Not only did it expose New Yorkers and NYC visitors to an incredible collection of New York’s artistic riches, it also brought together disparate New Yorkers. From the barrios of East Harlem and the townhouses lining the Upper East Side, to the winding streets of the Village and the clustered neighborhoods of the outer-boroughs, people came to celebrate their shared pride in their city. Museum Mile Festival promoted public awareness through increased visibility, accessibility and attendance at all the museums, and brought many New Yorkers to upper Fifth Avenue for the first time.

about Yayoi KUSAMA

Image
Yayoi Kusama   is a unique artist, and her autobiography is a unique, if not to say weird, book. " Infinity Net: The Autobiography of Yayoi Kusama " (translated by Ralph McCarthy, University of Chicago Press) is not so much an in-depth narrative of a life as an assertion of Kusama's artistic identity — part memoir, part critique, part artistic statement. She is critical of the lack of support for contemporary art in Japan, and is still re...... read more on : http://artinfo.com/news/story/804726/yayoi-kusama-writes-of-hunger-grudges-and-necking-with-joseph-cornell-in-her-odd-autobiography?utm_source=Twitter&utm_medium=Event&utm_campaign=Wang%20Dus
