TimeKill NYC's 2010 recap: Art!

My best artsy activities of 2010. 

Joseph Wolf Grazi's Fountain of Youth at Volume Black Gallery 

 At Joe Grazi's interactive installation, at the Volume Black Gallery in Gramercy, artwork lined the walls of the main room (where the open bar was stationed), while Pennsylvania band The Click Clack Boom jammed in a ball pit in the back. This party was so much fun! I hadn't played in one of those since back in the day when my mom took me shopping at IKEA in the second grade.

Dumbo Arts Festival

In September, the Dumbo Arts Festival celebrated New York City's art world with dances, plays, street art, musical acts, and interactive art installations. The annual festival takes place down by waterfront, in between the Brooklyn and Manhattan bridges, and is a perfect way to kill time the family-friendly way.

BLT Gallery 

In August, I went to see Francois Gilot's exhibit at the BLT Gallery in SoHo. Gilot is the famous lover and muse of Pablo Picasso and author of the novel, Life with Picasso.

Line Up - Rigging Knots + Glimpses of a Master Class at 

The Clic Gallery 

The new intimate space at the Clic Gallery in SoHo currently hosts an exhibit called Line Up, a unique collaboration between Brooklyn-based photographer, Victoria Dearing, and the world famous high wire artist Philippe Petit. Dearings set of film-noir style photos depict the tight rope dancer as he teaches his first master class. Hanging beside them are intricate drawings of rigging knots sketched by Petit himself. I covered the gallery for BlackBook here.
