Visual Arts, Columbia University, New York

This course examines ways of looking and ways of seeing, both personally & professionally as artists and in a larger cultural context. Through field trips to contemporary art and other cultural sites, conversations with visiting critical thinkers and practicioners, readings, discussions, and visual & written responses, we will examine how we look, think, act, create and respond--critically questioning our own artistic practices and ways of looking at the world.

Chelsea Galleries versus LEGalleries



 I noticed how much larger the space was in the Chelsea galleries than the Lower East-side galleries. The artists were also more well-known and higher priced.








However, the Lower East-side galleries were more intimate and not so commercial. 





The art seemed more intuitive, not so contemporary cliche as in Chelsea. Also, there was a feeling of discovering something new and at the same time something repeated from past art. Contemporaries is like always eating new food from new recipes, and never be allowed to repeat old favorite dishes. I like to be able to have both.
