From the moment Kenneth Pietrobono explained his new project, ‘Terms And Conditions,’ in class on 9/4 it immediately struck me as innovative, intriguing, and intellectual.

After classes, I often go to K-town, down by 32nd street and Broadway Avenue, or 27th street and 6th Avenue to meet up with my friends.  Onmy way, I always encounter this bizarre museum called, Museum of Sex.

It was the first time I had stepped into the MoMA in my life. I took art as my major in middle school and always had a knack for drawing but I never really took the time to analyze art. Nor did I really want to take the time to meticulously examine art work. I […]
