Catherine Abrams at catherineabrams80@gmail.com, Instagram: Catherine Abrams 88 METROPOLITAN MUSEUM EXHIBIT Chroma:  Ancient Sculpture in Color   This exhibit was exceptionally interesting for me since all my life I have seen the original Ancient Greek sculptures without color. Αυτη η εκθεση ηταν πολυ ενδιαφερουσα για μενα μια και παντα εβλεπα τα εκθεματα χωρις χρωμα.  Καπως ετσι¨ The scholarship and the presentation was carefully done but the visual results were lacking.  Maybe the major draw back was that the paint pigments used were too high gloss.   Casein base colors could have been closer to the original. Αυτα εινα μερικα δειγματα απο την εκθεση.  Αν και η μελετη και η παρουσιαση των εκθεματων ειναι προσεγμενη τα αποτελεσματα δεν ηταν πειστικα.  Οι χρωστικες ουσιες στα αγαλματα θα εφερναν καλυτερα αποτελεσματα αν ηταν απο κασεηνη.

Ο Νικ Κεηβ στο Μουσειο Γκουγκενχαημ The artist’s survey exhibition honors his lifelong commitment to creating space for those who feel marginalized by dominant society and culture. Nick Cave: Forothermore  comprehensively investigates aspects of Cave’s career that are grounded in key aesthetic and ethical commitments: the artist primarily works with found objects and existing materials, making “something from nothing;” he creates objects that are as legible to art mavens as they are to those without a formal education; he collaborates with others embedding a sense of community within his projects; and he sensitively incorporates life-altering historical events into works that celebrate his creative roots while addressing ongoing injustice.
