This is like... OCD art
Today was interesting, exciting, and inspirational. As usual, we saw A LOT of art today, and explored much of madison ave. There were several galleries set up in buildings I wouldn't typically expect to see art galleries in. These buildings were fairly "posh", and the walls were lined with marble, with top of the line interior designs that looked and felt marvelous. Although the elevator space was small in some of these buildings, it all screamed of high quality, and many of us were impressed with how much attention to detail the building itself had. And speaking of attention to detail, the work in the galleries themselves were even more detailed oriented. It seems as if detail is even more of a popular aspect of art than ever. Much of the art we have experienced (not all) has been meticulous, and "OCD"-like. Before visiting these galleries however, we took a look at the Biennial. We were really impressed with the variety of work, and again, the attention to detail. It seems that Anna and Shlomi were right when they told our group that Video Art and Photography was really popular. Two years ago when I went on this trip to NYC the first time, the show at the Biennial was generally not liked by the public, and definitely not a favorite of our group.
