Meet 500 years of British Art with Penelope Curtis @Tate #art #britain

YRB — Wed, 22 May 2013 18:16:39 +0000

Penelope Curtis selects some highlights from Tate Britain’s displays and considers how new visual dialogues have been created through juxtapositions of art work created at the same point in time, but in very different styles.

A new Tate Britain will be unveiled during 2013, culminating with the completion of the building project by Caruso St John Architects in November.

From the 1500s to the present day, the BP Walk through British Art comprises around 500 artworks over a newly configured sequence of over 20 galleries in a chronological display.

AmericanJustice is a cheerleader for the status-quo, self-made cazzillionaire, Forever21, running for office and running for her life.

Don't miss this exclusive opportunity to TEST AmericanJutsice's commitment to "We The People".

$earching for American Justice: The Pursuit of Happiness is a hot new political satire highlighted in Alternet’s 6 Activist Projects to Watch and featured in the Village Voice the NYT and Crunk and Disorderly.

$earching for AJ stars a vapid AmericanJusticewhose blind allegiance to the status-quo, highlights our search for justice.

AmericanJustice (AJ) aka “AmiJ” is a “d-list” celebrity in the mold of Kim Kardashian or Paris Hilton. LegallyBlonde, LegallyBlind, Forever21 and FashionablyLate, AJ is totally OUT of touch with reality. AJ is a socialite yearning to be in BadGirlsClub and preoccupied with making red-carpet, public cameo appearances for unabashedly-ubiquitous social media self-promotion

May 25th AmericanJustice will occupy a gallery in Brooklyn. More info coming soon…. www.renaissancenbk.org stay tuned

June 2nd AmericanJustice will be placed in a box for SpreadArt's" Don't Box Me In" – Bushwick Open Studios! Again more info coming soon! Stay tuned

RECAP: Kensho-The Way of Neodandi @Neodandi @BDGNY #fashion #art #nyc

YRB — Fri, 22 Mar 2013 17:23:44 +0000

On the evening of Thursday, March 21st, designer NiiLartey De Osu presented "Kensho: The Way of Neodandi" at the Bertrand Delacroix Gallery in Chelsea. A mix of fashion and performance art, "Kensho: The Way of Neodandi" is the second installment of what is to be a two year exploration into Chado, or The Way of Tea, which was reaching its refinement in Japan in the 12th Century.

The show began just after 7:30pm with two Neodandi principal models/dancers participating in a traditional Japanese Tea Ceremony.

7 additional models, 4 women and 3 men, then walked and posed in a circular motion around the ceremony. The Neodandi collection shown was inspired by 12th Century Japan and was an expansion on and continuation of the previous collection shown during FW13 Fashion Week in NYC.

The show featured 18 women's looks and 9 men's looks, and ended in a finale with all of the models on the runway creating a visual tableau.

The show was then immediately followed by a cocktail party at the gallery.

The idea is to bring back the art of dressing well, for yourself and for your surroundings. People benefit from taking good care of themselves, and the way you dress expresses and reflects that. People in history realized this, and we're now coming to a time where people are beginning to realize it again.
