Cool Exhibit to check out...
George Lois: The Esquire Covers @ MoMa
Looks like an awesome exhibit to check out before it leaves!
From 1962 to 1972, George Lois changed the face of magazine design with his ninety-two covers for Esquire magazine. He stripped the cover down to a graphically concise yet conceptually potent image that ventured beyond the mere illustration of a feature article. Lois exploited the communicative power of the mass-circulated front page to stimulate and provoke the public into debate, pressing Americans to confront controversial issues like racism, feminism, and the Vietnam War. Viewed as a collection, the covers serve as a visual timeline and a window onto the turbulent events of the 1960s. Initially received as jarring and prescient statements of their time, the covers have since become essential to the iconography of American culture.

Bklyn Exhibit To Check Out....
Opening Reception: Brece Honeycutt and Audra Wolowiec @ Pocket Utopia
Come and check out this exhibition of artists Brece Honeycutt and Audra Wolowiec. In conversation with the physical space and with an acknowledgement of history, particularly the history of feminist art (materials, production, and execution), both artists create an open dialogue or a presence.
Honeycutt, literally in attendance, working as a Pocket Utopia artist in residence, knits and weaves within a cultural context, referencing myth, memory, and the web that may or may not hold it all together. Using her fingers to knit and sometimes incorporating plastic bags, she spins the space into a place of permission.
Wolowiec removes and receives space from the architecture and the body, by drawing on the gallery walls, embedding human hair within it and removing circles of it in a wall exchange program or what she terms “points of exchange.” Wolowiec also “exchanges” a freckle with a friend by getting a tattoo; here a circle of ink is shared. Certificates and photographs document her process.

ART/SCI COLLISION: CROCHETING THE CORAL REEF @ THE AMERICAN MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORY
Science enthusiasts, fans of experimental mathematics, and people who crochet are invited to join Margaret Wertheim, director of the Institute for Figuring, and Kate Holmes, AMNH marine biologist, for a discussion about the plight of coral reefs and the art of “hyperbolic crochet,” a woolly tribute to these disappearing wonders of the marine world. Global warming and pollution threaten to devastate coral reef in the coming years and hyperbolic crochet is a beautiful and intriguing way to raise awareness. The Discussion will cover how this fusion of handicraft, mathematics, marine ecology, conservation activism, and collective artistic practice works as a creative testimony to the coral reef’s important place in the natural world.

The travelers are alive and believable their time and place is unexplainable. It will be featured Jonathon Shorr Gallery. Should be amazing.
