Hi, I’m Beau (Photo By Gail)

Today, May 14th, is Mothers Day here in the US, and I would like to take a minute wish to a Happy Mother’s Day to all Moms out there, including Dog Moms and Cat Moms. I don’t have any kids myself, but I’m the proud and happy caretaker for this gorgeous puppy named Beau, who was rescued from a meat truck in China five years ago, and brought to the states to be adopted. He is the sweetest, most handsome boy, and I love him to pieces.

In this review I am focusing solely on the video installation portion of the exhibit, the Crystal Forest — a mesmerizing multimedia head trip that liberates video from a traditional two-dimensional format and brings it into the realm of sculpture to create a truly immersive experience. Seriously, it was just insane.  Continue reading Tony Oursler’s mAcHiNe E.L.F.

One of my favorite annual traditions that kind of launches the arrival of spring for me is treating myself to the Orchid Show at New York Botanical Garden in the Bronx. Even if it’s super cold out, or snowing or whatever, the Metro-north train station ($10 round trip from Grand Central) is directly across the street, and the show is inside the gorgeous End A. Haupt Conservatory building, so you cannot even use bad weather as an excuse to not go, unless you are a total pussy. Because, look at this:
