I headed up to the Berkshires on Friday to meet up with fab gal pal Stephanie to catch the Animal Mummies exhibit at the apparently newly-renovated Berkshire Museum. It seems like ages since I’ve been up that way but it’s always a lovely drive and not that far. Still haven’t made it to Edith Wharton’s…

Art x Fashion
Also in the recent jaunt to NYC, a stop at the Museum @ FIT for ‘Art x Fashion’ a glimpse of how art and fashion have intertwined all the time for mutual benefit and dissection. I wanted more but that’s probably my problem. I ended up making a video visit because there was just so…
Bard Hessel Museum
As the migration approaches, I am trying to catch some last minute things — like visiting the new Keith Haring wing at Bard’s Hessel Museum, home of Curatorial Studies, where the first year students have assembled interesting collections. While I should get around to all the local art exhibits, this one had a particular draw…
Surrealism in Berlin
This week has been rather more hectic than expected so I’m jumping around and the roulette wheel lands on Surrealism in Berlin — specifically the exhibit at the Neue Nationalgalerie ‘Max Ernst to Dorothea Tanning: Networks of Surrealism’. Some helpful fellow (sorry, don’t think I got a name) came up at the end of my…
#DressDreamsDesire @ FIT
After the 9 @ Nagas, we strolled down to the Museum at the Fashion Institute of Technology — actually we had a very good lunch first at Kame Ramen. Then we headed over for Dress, Dreams & Desire curated by Dr Valerie Steele, who is also director of the Museum. I love art you can…
Oracles, Omens & Answers
Take a journey with me through time and space — no, not that one! — but to the city of aquatint last month. I made a quick jaunt to London for the tarot exhibit I decided I could not miss and a few other things (more to come…) and because I flew into Luton I…
London: Expressionists
The first afternoon in London I had planned to go to the Fashion & Textile Museum but forgot just how much worse afternoon traffic in The City has become especially with summer road works so when the bus announced it was ending the route at St Paul’s and going no further I took it as…
London: The Boyfriend
Despite my aim to take a relaxed approach to London — and really, the aim was to get to Leonora in Sussex — and just do ‘a few things’ I find I have a lot of photos to share with you so how to begin? Rather than my usual temporal arrangement, I decided to begin…
Rossettis @ Tate
I have already posted the photos to the ‘book — vainly it appears, as only one or two of them appear in people’s feeds so they keep liking the same two photos over and over. I try to choose more selectively for the blog, but how to choose — for the image, for the significance,…
V&A Dundee
It’s true I mostly hibernated over the break — some days I never even left the house — but I did finally make it down to the V&A to experience the much-anticipated glory inside it. The outside, I already knew, was gorgeous. I mean really just lovely. But inside, too, many wonders awaited. Lots more…
