I guess a part of me still can’t believe that it is 2013. Like the start of every new year, I always begin… gingerly, taking a baby step after another. Though today, I decided to dive straight back into it! Why should I let the staggering cold (though growing milder) stop me from engaging with the world to the fullest?
By pure happenstance, I had read about the new “Event of a Thread” installation at the Manhattan Park Avenue Armory. The last time we experienced interactive art was on the rooftop of the Met à la Tomás Saraceno (though with better weather)… given that this was indoors, I knew I had to give it a whirl. Done by visual artist Ann Hamilton, the exhibit features 42 wooden swings hanging from 70-ft-long ropes… each one attached to an expansive silk curtain that billows and waves with each push of a swing. It was like one big playground!
Catch it before it’s done! Which, sadly – is rather soon (the exhibit ends tomorrow, January 6th, 2012). I highly recommend purchasing tickets online!
For the occasion, I’m not only mixing it up with my killer Atlanta Weller ankle boots, courtesy of my collaboration with Young British Designers – but I’m also happy to debut one of new favorite street-smart tees by NU Companie, designed and distributed by the talented Adam Wolfson. One of the perks of doing what I do is meeting young, bourgeoning designers and entrepreneurs, and Adam is a prominent example. I was super impressed by his company, and totally dig his designs. I chose the “NU York” tee because I feel like it perfectly symbolizes my hometown… bold, edgy, and ready to play!
