Art: “Marilyn: Character Not Image” Curated by Whoopi Goldberg

Over the weekend, Mana Contemporary presented an exclusive grand opening preview of Marlyn: Character Not Image, curated by actress and talk show host, Whoopi Goldberg. The art exhibit features poems, sketches, and so much more from the Hollywood icon, Marilyn Monroe. Attendees were also able to get the first glimpse of iconic photographs by Milton Greene and Weegee, along with select video footage. Weegee’s images reveal sly complicity between Marilyn and himself: his dark-room distorted imagery pokes fun at the unreal and absurd facets of the Hollywood industry, of which Marilyn was keenly aware. It is truly a captivating gallery. The show will give guests a behind-the-scenes look at the actress’s private life through candid shots by Greene who flawlessly captured her sweetness, humor, and impatience.

Soundwall and Bisco Smith: A Blip on The Screen

This past Tuesday night at Soundwall Gallery, artist Bisco Smith connected art and sound in an innovative exhibit in Tribeca. The event, hosted by Hannah Bronfman with music provided by April Hunt, was well attended by a diverse crowd of 20-somethings in industries from music, arts, and entertainment. The Gallery sits near the Brooklyn Bridge, conveniently located for subway and bus transit, and a stone’s throw from tourist attractions like Wall Street and the 9-11 Memorial. The Gallery is an open loft space, reminiscent of loft/studio apartments my former real estate agent would call quirky, and I used to think are “so New York”. Music by April Hunt proved to be the perfect compliment to the night’s art experience as her lounge sounds set the tone for great conversation and art appreciation.
