Now that I’ve had some time to digest the experience, I’m going to work on adding more pictures and showing all the ones I took in an album. I should be getting those up on Flickr soon. Upon my return from NYC my laptop immediately died and I had to replace my hard drive. Thankfully my pictures were saved. I also plan on adding a long more links and hyperlinking some of the text portions of my blog so that you might use it as a virtual tour guide.
Thankfully, I’ll be returning to NYC in about two weeks for a trip with my advertising portfolio class and I’ll be spending my summer there on an internship. I hope to do some more exploring in the galleries and museums in the city.
Overall the trip was amazing. It was different from any of my other experiences (future included) because of the art-focus. I don’t think most people get to see the range of art I did in seven days. Also, the great part for me was getting to explore different parts of the city. I really loved Chelsea and Williamsburg and will definitely go back there this summer. While I’ve been to tons of large, famous museums, this experience was different because I saw a wider range of contemporary art that I’ve ever seen. I also got so see the work of today’s most famous current contemporary artists and started to get a sense of what the gallery scene is like. Getting to listen to David Kramer was a special treat. Another broad highlight for me was getting to see new media and new genres of art. I loved seeing the incorporation of comic, graphic and street forms. I had never gotten to see a lot of photography or large installation pieces either. It was a great trip.
