What is Project DUMBO?

Project DUMBO is a course offered by Elmira College where seven students live in a loft in an artistic community of New York City know was DUMBO. There are seven of us living in New York City this year, experiencing the ins and outs of the art world. This blog is about our various adventures in the big city. And yes, we all share one bathroom.

Did I just shrink?

Although it was extremely dusty and windy, Saturday was exciting, refreshing, and intriguing. We visited many galleries in Chelsea including the special Lichtenstein and Monet exhibitions, but our attention was also shifted towards the Flag Foundation show http://www.flagartfoundation.org/, curated by Shaquille O' Neal. This gallery featured many recognizable artists including Chuck Close, Ron Mueck, Kehinde Wiley, and many others. Much of the work on display was either huge, or small enough to fit in your hand. This show challenged viewers with extremities in size and proportion while offering an entertaining art experience. We'd also like to thank Stephanie of the Flag for posing with us.
