I went to this after I read the NY Times article. The place is very uppity. It was two floors and only had a handful of pieces. When you look up close, they’re not really painted. Maybe they are, I don’t really know. I mean, it could have been a combination of computer editting and airbrushing, I can’t tell. But it’s definitely not like Takashi Murakami used a paint brush because there are NO brush strokes.
When I read the article, I felt like I couldn’t really get a sense of seeing the works and being at the gallery so this entry is basically me trying to capture the whole thing for you.
See that security guard? I asked her if I could take pictures. She said yes, but she was all annoyed the entire time I was taking pictures and videos. Eh, whatever, that biotch.
There were only two floors. The elevator goes to the 6th floor and then you walk down to the 5th floor for all the colorful flower pieces.
Okay, this might be a little obscure but I found this picture on Flickr w/ Diana from Project Runway in front of one of the pieces. Project Runway, that’s a gay show. It’s great.
