Real life stories, humans and papier-mâché faces
Art that looks back at you looking back at art.
Gauri Gill’s ”Acts of Appearance”, is a series of vivid color photographs for which the artist worked closely with members of an Adivasi community in Jawhar district, Maharashtra, India. Gill’s collaborator-subjects are renowned for their papier-mâché objects, including traditional sacred masks. In these pictures they engage in everyday village activities while wearing new masks, made expressly for this body of work, which depict living beings with the physical characteristics of humans, animals, or valued objects. A range of scenarios and narratives, situated in both “reality” and dreamlike states, come together in the photographs, which simultaneously portray symbolic or playful representations as well as the familiar experiences of community members against the backdrop of their home and culture.

Not the NYFW
Just art. In galleries, staircases, in the air, on people.

The Queen of Burlesque
There was glitter, feathers and Swarovski crystals. There was titillation. There was rich lather and sensual bubble dance. There was riding a giant red lipstick on a patent leather costume. There was the famous martini glass number. Dita and her team of sexy teasers were in Manhattan. And Manhattan was under their spell.

David Bowie Is…
Farewell to April and farewell to David, who is now and forever somewhere else. First time I listened to his music again, since he became immortal in 2016. It was well curated, the exhibition in the Brooklyn Museum, a bit smaller than the original in the V&A but, after David’s passing, all the more emotional.
Back to Manhattan, into the alien world of NYC Subway. Ensamble Ferroeléctrico de Marte, anonymous musicians with iron masks that look like animals. Music for the urban jungle.
