See.Me in Long Island City

The website see.me is a platform for artists, photographers, designers and musicians to showcase their work, a stone's throw from my studio in Long Island City. It's a great space. An upscale gallery in an up and coming area more used to taxi cab garages, coffee cart depots and commercial enterprises of all sorts. The odd thing about this gallery was that it consisted of many TV screens showcasing hundreds, if not thousands of images. The way of the future for galleries? I found it interesting but there is nothing quite like looking at original art from different angles, trying to figure out how the artist accomplished a certain technique, viewing the true colors, seeing the texture or just being in the presence of great art! Having said that, I'm all for seeing as much art as possible. It should be out there in the world via as many methods as possible so bravo to the see.me team. Check out their article on Long Island City on their blog.

“As a Feng Shui consultant and integrative designer, I look for specific representation and metaphor in artwork. The first time I saw a piece of Eleanor’s work, [Fluid State] I was struck first by its movement, which can be very effective in energizing a particular area of one’s life or business if it is placed prescriptively. The other aspect which I found potent, is her use of color. Color interprets the ‘five elements’ or what is referred to as ‘agents of change’ in feng shui. 'Fluid State' is primarily whites and blues - the metal and water elements. Metal represents virtue, communication, joy and creativity. Water is associated with wisdom, one’s path in life and finances. I immediately thought I love this piece and what a powerful adjustment it would make for my client.”
