The NYC Food Film Festival enables filmgoers to watch food films and then eat the food that they watched in the film. How awesome is that?!? I wish I would have known about this event sooner I would have loved to go. There’s always next year. The last day is tomorrow June 19th.
Last night I went to Metuchen’s Junebug Arts Festival. Metuchen’s Main Street was filled with artists and their work. There was a variety of work including paintings, illustrations, drawings, people drawing caricatures, and live music! I would definitely love to participate in this next year.
On Friday night I went to the Park Avenue Armory to see Ernesto Neto’s exhibit anthropdino. The room was filled of translucent material forming an enormous canopy that you could walk through with strands of it hanging down filled with different spices such as cayenne. There were also areas that you could lay in made out of material of a bean bag chair. There were other areas filled with balls for children to play in. You can see how this exhibit was installed on the Park Avenue Armony’s website. It is pretty interesting!
Mannahatta is an exhibiton demonstrating the natural history of Manhattan when Hudson first arrived in 1609. It will show all the natural plant and animal life. This exhibit is held at the Museum of the City of New York through May 20, 2009 – October 12, 2009. This exhibit was inspired by the book Mannahatta: A Natural History of New York City by Eric W. Sanderson.
I attended Behance’s The 99 Percent Conference and on Day 2 of the conference I was fortunate enough to be able to participate in Cool Hunting’s “On The Hunt.” Cool Hunting’s staff took us to a variety of places in Brooklyn and Manhattan. One of my favorite places we went to was Fred Flare. Fred Flare sells home decor, accessories, books, jewelry, stationary, and a whole bunch of knick nacks.
I attended the opening night “Art on Record” at the APW Gallery in Long Island City, Queens. A friend of mine Sarah Panetta submitted her records which are in the above image along with the other submissions. Feel free to check out her work and the other submissions.

When in London I visted the Tate Modern and came across this artist Jenny Holzer. Most of her work at this particular museum were projections like the above image. The Whitney is having an exhibition Jenny Holzer: PROTECT PROTECT which I will be going to next Friday. It runs until May 31st.
I really loved the design of the poster for the ADCNY Paper Show coming up in April.
