I’d hate to ever write anything bad about the MFA, seeing as that’s basically my second home. But, they’ve disappointed me. In fact, they even tricked me into thinking they had multiple works by Frida Kahlo. That, my friend, is a lie. At this new ongoing exhibition, Making Modern, they have one Frida Kahlo painting. That’s it. Just one. (Post about the whole Making Modern exhibit … Continue reading Is Frida Kahlo at the MFA? Debatable
Okay, I’m blogging on the go, so bare with me. I just stepped outside of the ICA filled with so much inspirations and love for contemporary art. There are three temporary exhibits currently on show – all of which I saw and will gladly summarize (with pics, of course.)

She later experimented with her student’s work along with old porcelain pieces. Over the years her approach to … Continue reading Some Pretty Groovy Sculptures
Fifteen years ago my family and I decided to move to the US. Half of my family wanted Los Angeles, while the other half saw us in Miami. In the end we went to Florida, but LA remained part of our lives. From visiting grandparents, going to Bar and Bat Mitzvah’s, and even attending UCLA for a summer. Seeing as I hadn’t gone in a while, I took advantage of my free time and … Continue reading All The Way in La La Land
Meleko Mokgosi: Democratic Intuition @ ICA The 2016 presidential election has understandably become “the thing to talk about.” Everything from Facebook posts to Snapchat-live ‘stories’ have been overtaking the internet. It’s crazy yet totally normal that the candidates have turned to social media to promote themselves. Only a few years ago candidates were using traditional TV techniques to reach a broad audience. Through commercials, they … Continue reading Viewing Democracy Through Art
