Keith Haring in BKLYN

Keith Haring, one of my personal art heroes, currently has a show at The Brooklyn Museum. Titled 'Keith Haring 1978-1982' this show encompasses his early years- from his college days at SVA, to performance art collaborations with fellow artists at 80s hotspots like the The Mudd Club and Club 57, to the emerging grafitti aesthetic that was  popping up all over NYC streets and subways. Definitely a nostalgic route for those who lived in that heyday and an eye opener for new a generation of a New York  that no longer exists. Click here for more info

2 must see shows during my stay in Paris

I leave for Paris next week and I'm simply ecstatic to return to this splendid city. On my agenda are many cultural adventures, specifically these two shows at the Musee des Arts Decoratifs - Jean Paul Goude and Louis Vuitton.  Currently running till March 18th,  the retrospective 'Goudemalion' spans decades of his daring fashion photography and stimulating imagery.  The latter exhibit opening March 9th, 'Louis Vuitton Marc Jacobs', draws on the parallels both designers share. Vuitton and Jacobs, whose careers are a century apart, have served as creative innovators defining tastes in our time.

Deana Lawson: Provocative Portraiture

I was mesmerized by the images on display at MOMA's New Photography 2011 show which included Lawson's work. With traces of Rineke Dijkstra infused in her work, Lawson portrays her mostly African American subjects in brutally honest poses and stances. The participants are set in seedy settings yet long for glamour in their sad lives. Stunning photos, click here for more info
