In lovely memorandum the intense and overtly stimulating week in New York City summer 2018 filled with art hoping and other adventures like seeing Kinky Boots broadway play, getting chinese acupressure body massage at dingy underground subway parlor, cruise the city on ferry from Pier 17, almost getting kidnapped by strange man after Heaven’s Gate rooftop sipping (scary), and getting to attend live recording of my favorite guilty pleasure TV host Wendy Williams show / be featured on her “Ask Wendy” segment (what an experience).

I priority visited NY to see and be enthralled in nothing but art. Got to visit over twenty galleries and museums throughout the city from the big hitters like The MET, The MET Breuer, MOMA, The Whitney, The Guggenheim, Gagosian triplets, Museum of Sex to smaller galleries in Chelsea. I still cherish all the memories of the vividly disorienting visuals highlights of which include doing studio visit/art review with director/curator of Tiger Strikes Astroid Gallery in Bushwick, seeing Nobuyoshi Araki’s retrospective exhibit at the Museum of Sex (yessssss), visiting “Heavenly Bodies” costumes + Versailles exhibit at the MET and “Like Life Sculpture, Color and the Body” exhibit at The Met Beuer (amazingggg, see below). Also Jenny Saville’s new exhibition “Ancestors” at Gagosian in Chelsea, and getting to see all time fav since high school – artist Zak Smith and his smaller pen and ink drawing series at Fredericks & Freiser Gallery. I got to meet Zak Smith in person later in 2018 in LA where he currently lives and works, what a meeting that was. Thank you to beautiful Sunya egch and Mark family for all your hospitality and hosting me ♡ Looking forward to another crazy week in New York in latter 2019 or Spring 2020.

Retrospective of S– , @ Fredericks & Freiser

June 21 - July 27, 2012

“Retrospective of S–”, a project by writer, Jonathan Safran Foer and artist, Sam Messer. S– is a fictional painter created by Safran Foer. Her life is played out in 10 wall texts written by Safran Foer and ten corresponding paintings curated by Sam Messer. The paintings, which accompany Safran Foer’s descriptions are by different artists and parallel the significant changes that S– experiences throughout her life. S–’s biography begins in 1964 when she is 14 and ends in 2010 when she is 60. During this time S–‘s life goes through many twists and turns, from having no money and living in a 5 story walkup, to receiving critical acclaim as an artist and reacting to public approval. The artists in the role of S– chronologically include: Francesca Lo Russo, Josephine Messer, Judith Linhares, Njideka Akunyili, Caitlin Cherry, Chie Fueki, Rochelle Feinstein, Natalie Frank, Jackie Gendel, and Jennifer Packer.
