About ARTLAB78

ARTLAB78 is a new experimental exhibition space in NYC where invited artists are given the opportunity to show their work in an intimate setting to a selected audience composed of clients, critics, journalists, designer, and friends.  ARTLAB78 will be  a gallery space, as the work is for sale a meeting place for the artist and audience, and a center for dialogue.  It will also serve as a short-term residence for an artist, if the artist is not living in New York City.   ARTLAB78 draws its inspiration from  Alfred Stieglitz's galleries: 291, "Intimate Gallery, and " An American Place;  Roy Neuberger and patrons like him who decided to help living artists; and  Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney who trusted her own taste and provided exhibition opportunities for artists.  It is located within a landmark Beaux Arts building designed by Henry Atterbury Smith that opened in 1909 as the Shively Sanitary Tenements, under the sponsorship of Mrs. William K. Van

born in ROMA but living in NEW JERSEY!...how we got to know her... the connection? seen at the Salmagundi Club!... Isabella Pizzano  was born in Rome, Italy, where she earned a B.A. in Fine Arts specializing in clay sculpture. While residing in N.J. she exhibited her sculptures in numerous national and international shows such as the prestigious competition of "Artistic Ceramics" in Faenza, Italy. As a gallery owner in N.J. she presented many talented artists working with different media as well as providing consulting services to many corporations and private collectors. For the past twelve years she participated in multiple workshops under national renowned teachers in multimedia. She then started to develop her own compositions. Today her work is mostly abstract expressionism and she likes to experiment with different techniques, mostly water media, inks, and collages, using rare and archival papers. In China, Isabella experienced a cultural art exchange with local art

Save the date ! You are invited to our grand Re-Opening at our gallery space on the Lower East Side When:  Friday March 1st, 2013 from 6:30 - 8 pm Where: 83 Orchard street, New York, NY 10002 The Muriel Guépin Gallery is pleased to present  "Legacy",  a new show featuring the artworks of   Anne Geoffro y  and  Isabel Brito-Farre. Anne Geoffroy's painstakingly rendered drawings and sculptures evoke her lost childhood, and suggest a cumbersome family legacy laden with secrets. In search of an identity, Geoffrey questions how and what we transmit to future generations. She refers to some of her drawings as "les Fantômes," or the ghosts, and to some of her sculptures as "les Héritières," the heiresses. These pieces have a haunted quality, and carry the weight of her own past and that of her family. Isabel Brito-Farre, a native Spanish artist who lived in New York but recently moved back to Spain, makes stitched draw

in Harlem..A building called THERESA HOTEL

Image
ever wondering what it was... or what it had been? READ on wikipedia... The  Hotel Theresa  was a vibrant center of black life in  Harlem ,  New York City , in the mid-20th century. The hotel sits at the intersection of  Adam Clayton Powell Jr. Boulevard  and  West 125th Street  ( Martin Luther King, Jr.  Boulevard). The hotel was built by German-born stockbroker  Gustavus Sidenberg  (1843–1915), whose wife's name was Theresa, [ 2 ]  and designed by the firm of Buchman and Fox in a neo-Renaissance style. It opened in 1913 and was from then, until the construction of the  Adam Clayton Powell Jr. State Office Building  across the street in 1973, the tallest building in Harlem. It has a striking white  terracotta  facade and was known as the " Waldorf Astoria  of Harlem." In its early years the hotel accepted only white guests, but in 1940 the hotel administration decided to end its racial segregation policy. [ 2 ] Louis Armstrong ,  Sugar Ray Robinson ,  Lena Horne

Press review ..continues: "SUCCESSFULL and SCHIZOPHRENIC"

SOURCE  NYTIMES  http://www.nytimes.com/2013/01/27/opinion/sunday/schizophrenic-not-stupid.html?pagewanted=1 OPINION Successful and Schizophrenic By  ELYN R. SAKS Published: January 25, 2013  LOS ANGELES Enlarge This Image Angie Wang THIRTY years ago, I was given a diagnosis of schizophrenia. My prognosis was “grave”: I would never live independently, hold a job, find a loving partner, get married. My home would be a board-and-care facility, my days spent watching TV in a day room with other people debilitated by mental illness. I would work at menial jobs when my symptoms were quiet. Following my last psychiatric hospitalization at the age of 28, I was encouraged by a doctor to work as a cashier making change. If I could handle that, I was told, we would reassess my ability to hold a more demanding position, perhaps even something full-time.

GRAY MATTER January Is the Cruelest Month Santtu Mustonen By  NEIL SHUBIN Published: January 25, 2013 FACEBOOK TWITTER GOOGLE+ SAVE E-MAIL SHARE PRINT REPRINTS BY late January many of us residing in northern latitudes aren’t sleeping well, overeat and are looking forward to the long sunlit days of July. Some people even get clinically depressed: a recent study revealed that some 10 percent of New Hampshire residents suffer from seasonal affective disorder. For too many people, this might seem like just a quirk of their personalities, or worse, a shortcoming. But the cause for our malaise lies in the working of our genes, organs — and, ultimately, in the chemical structure of moon rocks, like the ones returned by the Apollo space program. Our perception of time defines the ways we interact with the planet and with one another. Humanity’s increasing need to communicate and trade has led to an ever-finer parsing of the moments of our liv
