I am very interested in print making and the different ways artists approach that medium. I went to lower east side print shop as well as some print studios on 26th. I really enjoyed the print shops the most but Enoc Perez's architectural elements brought into his works were great, they were simple yet sketchy. The Lehmann Maupin gallery was the nicest inside, I really liked the open ceiling area, not so much the work inside. The Toguo work was very interesting. I liked the line work and really enjoyed the size scale of how large.

Alex Bag

A few minutes into this i was annoyed with how she was stereotyping art students with how she spoke etc, it proceeded to her smoking cigarettes and drinking coffee, etc. towards the end I guess I saw the humor but overall this just doesn't do it for me. The amount of times she said like made me want to stop watching it. I understand her inventiveness etc and can appreciate her ideas, but I just didn't really like her characters overall, especially the bunnies voices.

New Museum

The part i enjoyed most about the new museum was the 7th floor where you could walk out and see the city. The building was very interesting and I liked how you could start at the top and work down. The cape town photographs were interesting and gave a first hand look of how people live. I especially remember the one of a shanty town situation with a busy roadway right up the hill. I did not like the first floor with the very sexual paintings. I feel art can be achieved without being that out there and that in your face. It was awkward to walk around with my mom thru it. She is a graphic designer and did not seem to like it either.
