Last Friday, I got an invite to an art show. Friday night art show been there, done that and enjoy it every chance I get. This one was new to me as when I was looking up the address it pointed me to the Upper East Side. Now I am no gallery connoisseur but I was fairly certain there wasn’t a gallery at the indicated address; nonetheless I load up the toys and headed out.
I met up with Kaz and walked into the apartment and, as any experienced house-party goer knows, immediately sought out if there was an air conditioner, and more importantly, if it worked. After both were confirmed as Yes!, I secured space directly in its flow and interacted with the guests. Eventually I made my way to see the rest of the apartment and art. The space was well balanced with art, beverages and randomly placed candy spread through L. Stein’s apartment. The egg-shell / creamish white walls were decorated with various size canvas works that presented colorful and intricately detailed pieces. Sadly, I didn’t grab my correct lens so I couldn’t capture the best shots and to add lipstick to the pig-the batteries on my flash died – double fuckery!
The show was produced by Parlour and hosted at the home of L. Stein. This show was titled No. 7 – “The Golden Girls” and featured paintings by artists Alison Blickle and Megan Burns. Their works created fantasy-type environments that had feminist (not of the “I Hate Men” level) undertones and subjects, who expressed freedom and exploration.
Parlour was conceived by Ciara Gilmartin and Leslie Rosa-Stumpf (she is the excited one at the start of the post) as a nomadic art show traveling the world known as New York City, ever changing locations and art on display.
