Butter and Egg Road – Jet Setters Breaking Bread

I had the immense and delicious pleasure of attending a night hosted by Butter and Egg Road.

Butter and Egg Road hosts tasting programs in international cities as foodie-travel inspired private members’ club.

Founder Ivy Ackerman, has put together an amazing program in conjunction with Armory Week – as a blend of pleasures for all the senses.

The evening starts with a Chef’s tasting at a delicious coveted NY resto, followed by Armory related gallery tours and opening parties.

Check out the calendar for upcoming events in Toronto, Montreal, Chicago, and of course Miami during Art Basel.

Grey Area – Online Concept Store

8 Feb

Grey Area, an online concept store specializing in artist made consumer goods, hosted a party to inaugurate their new space in SoHo.

The space was packed full of amazingly humourous art pieces, great music, and a gorgeous crowd that would not leave even when the bar ran out of cups.

From clothing, jewellery, housewares, sculptures, and random Oldenburg-esque pop goods made in to stuffed toys, Grey Area is the destination for the perfect treasured gift.

The Creators Project: DUMBO

16 Oct

The Creators Project is a festival of art and technology featuring interactive works, massive installations, and progressive ideas.

A highlight was undeniably the massive LED sculpture titled Origin by United Visual Artists and Scanner.

Glazer + Spaceman created a cathedral like setting in interpreting the Spiritualized track “Ladies and Gentlemen, We Are Floating in Space. The warm radiating beams of light, soft fog, and the speakers embedded in the floor created a total encompassing experience.

Life on Mars Revisited was a 4-walled installation, where film director Barney Clay and photographer Mick Rock remixed David Bowie’s music video for Life On Mars in an explosive and jarring yet pleasantly overwhelming immersive piece.

ArtJetSetters

8 Mar

ArtJetSet would like to collaborate with Sameer on developing an app that tracks him through the best art openings in the city. I seem to have bumped into Sameer at nearly every art event I’ve been to in the past few months…. it’s foursquare without the GPS.

Here at the Artforum Independent Party in front of the giant inflatable union workers rat, I promised a dedicated post to a dedicated vernissage connoisseur.
