Weekend Update

Some random photos from this past weekend roaming around New York City.

Dropped by some Chelsea art galleries.

Looks like a gallery had a little party the night before.

Creepy mannequin legs.

I like this piece. Forgot the artist though.

Coffee shop fun. I look forward to doing this to all coffee cups in my future.

Giant nutella.

Miroslaw Balka at Tate Modern

Polish artist Miroslaw Balka’s latest installation, “How It Is” at the Tate Modern is an imposing elevated steel container with a ramp that leads visitors into it and plunging them into darkness. It’s a hit with visitors.

The experience is sombre, discombobulating and perhaps a bit sinister. But it is beautiful too — and not least when, as your eyes slowly adjust, you begin to discern the infinite subtle shades of grey or turn back to face the entrance and see other visitors vacillating nervously on the brink before, stepping into the engulfing shadows, they are transformed into stalking silhouettes.

Massive Paintball Fight

I got asked to share this “viral” video created for Samsung featuring a paint battle royale held in Sao Paulo where weapons of paint destruction included paint grenades, bow and arrows, and a sweet catapult. Players were recruited from various social networks to form the various “armies.” Don’t worry, no one “dyed” during the fight.
