GRIDS

The David Zwimmer Gallery in Chelsea has an electric exhibit right now. GRIDS by artist Dan Glavin is lighting up the rooms of the gallery with these fun, neon grids.

Flavin created these sculptures using commercially available fluorescent light fixtures.

He says of light: "One might not think of light as a matter of fact, but I do. And it is, as I said, as plain and open and direct an art as you will ever find.”

This was a fun burst of color in these cold, white, dark months!

The Good. The Random. The Fun. v. 5

The Good:

Today is Tu B'Shevat - the Jewish holiday of the trees. We celebrate that in Israel, the trees are waking up and starting to bloom. While here in New York, we've been in the single digits for weeks, the Hudson River is frozen solid, and the icicles look like this (: 

The Random:

A tradition on Tu B'Shevat is to eat lots of yummy fruits (and other foods we classify as from the trees ie certain nuts). The local kosher market had a whole display of fun fruits, including these adorable mini-pineapples!

The Fun:

Chelsea Market had this cool mini-exhibit all about the design of movie posters. It was cool to see some iconic ones and learn the "science" behind how they're laid out.

Arte Museum

We checked out the new ARTE Museum on my birthday. It's located in Chelsea Piers and is the newest immersive art museum in the city. It was really great with room after room of mirrored, immersive fun.

There was a nature theme that went from room to room. We saw oceans, waterfalls, whales, and the stars and even a tornado! My favorite was the stars, which was an infinity room filled with paper lanterns!

It was a perfect cold-weather activity and a fun day date together!

On Turning 38

I turned 38 over the weekend! Got to love a January birthday, where your age is easily above the high temp of the day (which was 5). We had a fun day in the city at a museum, some galleries, and Chelsea Market, before heading up to our favorite Indian restaurant in midtown. 

It was a day filled with loads of birthday greetings, delicious treats -- cupcakes the night before and halva soft serve while in the city -- and lots of great fun together!

Here's to another year around the sun!

The Good. The Random. The Fun. v. 4

The Good:

We got a whopper of a snowstorm on Sunday! We're sitting at about 16 inches of snow on the ground but it was so windy that there are huge drifts everywhere!

The Random:

I got a kick out of these poodle-shaped chocolates!

The Fun:

We went to IKEA and got a shoe cabinet for our entryway. No more piles of shoes all over the floor! We feel so grown up.

Museum of Arts and Design

Back in November, my mom and I had some extra time to kill before we headed over to Lincoln Center for Ragtime. We popped into the Museum of Arts and Design to see what the latest exhibits were. This museum is a hidden gem in Columbus Circle and always has great exhibits. 

This time, we saw a great exhibit on the fashion in the Black Panther movies, a collection of works by Jonathan Adler and other artists he influenced, and there was also an exhibit about the evolution of maternity/baby-related items. 

It's so fun to see art like this and the costumes from Black Panther were simply stunning!! It was also really sweet, while we were there, we saw an elementary class on a field trip and it was adorable to see the kiddos loving the artwork and filling their sketch pads.

A quick trip, but I totally recommend this museum if you have some time in NYC!
