CURIOUSER NEW YORK

Don't miss this fabulous art fair in New York City - Pulse Contemporary Art Fair . Just one more day left!

When was the last time you've been to a large international art expo and/or art fair? Last Spring alone five international art shows took place in New York City, and I've gone to all of them - the indulgence of which not only did very good to me, but I've discovered many new emerging and modern artists, whose work was amazingly impressive and unique, and so thought the other visitors - btw ...

I'm a bit sucker for the contemporary art. I try to never miss a contemporary art show, and in the last few months I've truly over-indulged on the New York art scene . 

As I've promised you in my previous blog , where I talked about the still art works that were showcased at the Scope Art Show New York , here are the audio and video works from the galleries from around the world. What was interesting is that last year I haven't noticed much of these formats at the show. This time around, however, the audio and video works were prominently present at the art show, and I really enjoyed some of them. There's some good stuff happening on the art scene right now. The digital media has made its way onto the art scene - that's official! I'm very excited to see what happens next year...

Here's a thing - I'm very artsy. And if I had more time on my hands, I would have been designing something by now - fashion, ads, book covers... It's truly a pity that I'm not utilizing my one year of Graphic Design education at Oregon State University, my one year Desktop Publishing / Graphic Design program at School of Visual Arts in New York and my Copyright Advertising program at Georgetown University in Washington, DC - all of which I've finished with a great idea of doing something artsy.  I used to be so immersed into the whole designing process that when I first started to freelance in PR in 2002, I actually offered the 'services' of designing brochures, posters, websites. One of which was actually used for a brochure at the Art & Design School of Art in New York. Yes, those were the times when I actually did it. Now it all comes down to painting or collaging in the Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator in a spare moment of the sudden free ...

When I was leaving New York City at the end of 2005, I knew I'd be back. There's just no where in the world I'd rather live, and, believe me, I've tried. I lived in some of the best US and European metro cities: from Los Angeles, San Francisco, Portland, Washington DC to Paris and Moscow - there's absolutely no place on earth that can live up to the New York scenery.
