Naomi Grossman’s Seated Woman at the DUMBO Arts Festival

Seated Woman, 2010

The DUMBO Arts Festival 2010 was, as always, a chance to stroll around a cute neighborhood and see art in a stunning backdrop, but this past Saturday was a little low energy compared to last year. I did see some nice pieces like this wire sculpture by Naomi Grossman, a NYFA MARK Program Artist. I thought the pose of the sculpture very suggestive and loaded with emotion. On the wall behind there was more amorphic wire, and from the artist’s website I take it she does whole rooms of wire with furniture and people. I also love the delicacy of all the thin wires. It’s very akin to making graphite pencil lines in 3D.

Art Under the Bridge, the Video

Posted on by

It’s been a while since I made a video, so I was really excited to capture some of the projects at the Art Under the Bridge Festival this past weekend. It was a sunny Fall day, and a lot of people came out to stroll around. There was so much to see and do I’m afraid I don’t give much information about individual projects. You can see a list of all the projects on the Dumbo Arts Center website. There was a lot of creativity and fun in the air, so I hope you get a sense of what it was like in this Ravels in Motion production.

Dumbo Art Festival

Starting today, the DUMBO Arts Under the Bridge Festival is kicking off in–you guessed it–DUMBO. Artists contribute temporary site specific installations and transform the area. Many artists also open their studios to the public. Normally I would just wander around and see what their is to see, but I’m doing something a little bit more tomorrow afternoon.

I agreed to help lead an art walk. Unlike a place like Chelsea, here we’ll just have to see what there is to see. But that should be a lot of fun. It supposed to be wonderful weather all weekend so, if you feel like some serendipitous artsy wandering, come out.
