AND THE BAND PLAYED ON 🥁🎺Amid a pandemic, we will be remembering our veterans in a different way but honoring them still 🇺🇸 🕯🇺🇸⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
^^Deborah Kass’ seemingly cool and unaffected works are typically laden with intention and humor such as this work, The Band Played On. 🎼 Borrowing lyrics from the 1895 waltz, Kass deliberately juxtaposes the text against a her version of a “zombie formalist” abstract painting which emanates tension both literally and aesthetically. 💥 to pit a banal painting style against a phrase like “AND THE BAND PLAYED ON,” then, is "a deliberate, barbed statement about the kind of art world navel-gazing that ignores social struggle". As described by artist @TitusKaphur, Kass is a maker of unabashedly American paintings—not just an inspirational notion of America but an America plagued by contradictions since its inception. Deborah’s work always manages to GET IT.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

THE PRESENT IS ART⏱⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
👆 Me with the indefatigable #MarinaAbramovic during her epic performance, The Artist is Present @ the MoMA back in 2010. We sat silently at a wooden table across from each other (perfectly socially distanced!) and over the course of about three months, for eight hours a day, she met the gaze of 1,000 other strangers, many of whom were moved to tears. 😔⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
One may ask “what is the purpose of art” in a time of crisis🤷🏻‍♀️❓ It is precisely what art inherently is (a reminder of what’s most important, a reflection on who we are as a society, an escape to a better world...) that makes it absolutely essential to humanity. Art keeps us connected across time and place.👭 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Marina believed that by stretching her performance over a long period in such a way it would alter our perception of time as well as foster a deeper engagement of the experience which I can attest IT DID. “Nobody could imagine…that anybody would take time to sit and just engage in mutual gaze with me,” Abramović explained. In fact, the chair was always occupied, and there were continuous lines of people waiting to sit in it. “It was [a] complete surprise…this enormous need of humans to actually have contact.” 👈💥 💥💥
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I believe it is in art's ability to reflect the world around us, to inspire ideas and shed light onto difficult problems that it gives back to us and provides something that goes FAR beyond our mundane daily routines. 💫

FRIEZING 🟦 I happily avoided the nasty weather

FRIEZING 🟦 I happily avoided the nasty weather 🌧to browse @friezeartfair from the comfort of my son’s home school desk 💻😹. Admittedly, I was skeptical at first but I actually really enjoyed going through their online “Viewing Room” 👁👁. Given the overall ease and flow of the site I was able to discover several great works. The fair’s curated sections were also right on point with a focus on female Chicagoan artists (marking 100 years since American women gained the right to vote), Latin artists,etc.🎯All the galleries I reached out to have been super responsive and I loved that they upped their visual game to include hi res in-context images and even videos. 📹 It’s not so much about booth real estate anymore as it is about providing the ultimate online visual experience💡. High fives🤚 for the whole @friezeartfair team, galleries, artists and collectors for showing up and making ART GO ON. 🙌🙌🙌🙌 SCROLL above for a few of my faves👆

NY animal shelters have seen a spike in adoptions and fostering amid the Covid-19 outbreak but there will always be homeless pets. There’s no better way to spend social distancing than with a furry friend. 💙💙💙🐶🐱⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

I ❤️ NY :: It doesn't get any more iconic than Robert Indiana's LOVE sculpture and there has never been a time when we need it most and when I was prouder to be a New Yorker... This piece was for a NY collector placed by HLK! 🤝::: NY will be showing the love tomorrow as they honor our essential workers with an air show. ✈️ The US Navy's Blue Angels and the Air Force Thunderbirds will fly over as a tribute to all the workers on the frontlines of this pandemic. "This is our way of showing that we are all in this together and that America's spirit will prevail," said Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. David Goldfein and Navy Chief of Naval Operations Adm. Michael Gilday 🇺🇸👍⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
LOVE is one of the most celebrated works by one of the most celebrated figures of the Pop Art movement. Robert Indiana conceived it in a time when the US was consumed by the Vietnam War 🇻🇳 and it quickly became a symbol for peace. 🏳️The iconography first appeared in a series of poems originally written in 1958, in which Indiana stacked LO and VE on top of one another. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The idea for the sculptural piece originated from a visit to a church in Indianapolis, where Robert was taken by an adorned banner that read "GOD is LOVE."🙏 He then created a painting which depicted the reverse of the previous banner, stating "LOVE is GOD."❤️ Shortly after, Indiana was commissioned to design a Christmas card for the Museum of Modern Art, for which he made three small paintings of the word love in red, blue and green. These cards were printed in 1965 and have since been the most popular card they ever published. Indiana’s LOVE has become a cultural icon and has been used extensively throughout the art world and media as a powerful universal symbol.❤️ #robertindiana @galeriegymurzynska #popart #contemporaryicons #allweneedislove #mondaymotivation #hlkacquisitions #hlkartgroup

#tbt to when we weren’t social distancing. to when we didn’t have a care in the world, to when we freely walked around fairs, auctions, studios and crammed into packed art openings. Little did I know my reception at the @refineryhotel would be the last hurrah before mass quarantine. I long for the good old days and am searching for the silver lining...some days I see rainbows some days I see rain and hail.🌧🌈⛅️⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
One thing is for sure though. We are seeing more change in these last few weeks than we have seen in years🔺 so now is an opportune time to reset and to reimagine our future. As for all of us staying at home, we shall hibernate like chrysalises 🐛awaiting the great metamorphosis. I am eager to see what awaits on the other side. 🦋
