03.07.10 (posted 03.08.10) - thanks to my buddy, j, i got a chance to attend the scope art show in nyc today. scope prides itself in "introducing artists, curators, and cutting-edge galleries to new audiences internationally" and this "has made SCOPE the most comprehensive destination for the emerging art world available anywhere." featured galleries included those from china, colombia, spain, germany, japan, korea, italy, ukraine, northern ireland, united kingdom as well as throughout the u.s.
my favorite pieces included those from mixed media artist,
hector de gregorio. the curator told me that each piece involves an extensive process that combines research, costume making, photography, digital imaging, and hand finishing. i also really liked
cara philips' ultraviolet beauties. she's a local artist based in brooklyn
that uses uv technology with b+w large format film to capture models' "future skin". here's a few pictures i snapped of the various exhibits.
I love the portrait piece, they look like dead people, very spooky.
