Diego Rivera- A Man with a Message He Wasn’t Paid to Send

Posted by Anna Kozlova on 28th November 2011

Looking at the images by Diego Rivera in MoMA made it obvious why he was hired to paint a mural in Rockefeller Center.

I was not sure what to expect walking into the Met to see “Don Giovanni.” Reading the libretto gave a good sense of the plot of the story, although I did not know what direction the show would go in. After all, the example shown to us in school involved a Don Giovanni injecting himself […]

In the rooms and halls of the Fluxus exhibit, I did not […]

Posted by Anna Kozlova on 26th September 2011

  When I first heard about the High Line, I’ll admit that I had my doubts. A garden on top of an old railroad sounded a bit strange, and possibly dangerous. This wasn’t helped by the fact that a few entrances were closed on the day that I came to visit. I had to wander […]

“Let’s Take a Walk on the High Line”

Posted by Anna Kozlova on 26th September 2011

  “Let’s Take a Walk on the High Line” I took about 20 photographs during my observation of the High Line Park. I used a separate photo for each of the letters and shapes on the image to show all the views I was able to capture of the scenery. The background image is that […]
