Tuesday, the windy afternoon, I rushed to the International Center of Photography on 43rd Street planning to have a last minute glimpse of it before it closed, so I could at least have something to write on the IDC paper. However, it was that less than an hour look-around that redefined my definition of Photography. Photography, draws a line between art and life, and that line is truth. Read the rest of this entry »
…for bringing all the food and making the class a party. It took me a while to figure out that you meant to eat all of that food during the class! It was a tricky treat you put together!

MIDTOWN MANHATTAN- Japan Society’s exhibit titled Making a Home: Japanese Contemporary Artists in New York showcased the artwork of 33 contemporary Japanese artists who emigrated to NYC from Japan. One of the themes the exhibit dealt with was the theme of identity; the artists had two separate identities to reconcile, as Japanese and a New Yorker. The exhibit was a very intriguing look at the artist’s relationship with their former homeland, Japan. Read the rest of this entry »
One definition of culture characterizes it as the beliefs, customs, practices, and social behavior of a particular nation or people. Truthfully, it is a fallacy to attempt to create any single term to express such complex and subjective concepts as a collective. However, we do it for the purpose of standardization. Is this the right road to take, or do we risk the danger of oversimplification? Through various mediums, including paintings, photographs and installations, the exhibition, ‘Making a Home: Japanese Contemporary Artists in New York,” explores the ideological components of both Japanese and American culture and attempts to distinguish between their divisive and harmonious features.

Located in Theater Row, the Lion theatre is the home to an up and coming Off-Broadway production known as None of the Above. The play featuring Halley Feiffer (Jamie) and Adam Green (Clark) is an insightful look into the life of a spoiled socialite looking for the illusive 2400 on the SAT’s. One however, is left scratching his head wondering why this play focuses on such a particular issue that limits itself only to the teenage audience. The final product however, does an incredible job in its portrayal of the blemished teenager and her unsuspecting struggles. Read the rest of this entry »
As the “tkts”- booth on Times Square is popular among both New Yorkers and tourists for making a good bargain on Broadway-tickets, there is one musical we never see displayed on the screen: “Wicked”. After its debut in 2003, “Wicked” is still known to be the most sought-after musical on Broadway. Besides “Premium Seats”, tickets to see this musical – praised as being “The best show in town!” and “A must-see!”- are sold out months in advance. Surprisingly, I good lucky and got two tickets after waiting for two hours on the ticket-return-line, tickets that had been cancelled by someone and were then sold back to the public. I thought I knew what was going to expect me since I was very familiar with the music, but “Wicked” exceeded my expectations by far! “Wicked” is everything we imagine when we think of a “Broadway Musical”: extravagant costumes, mesmerizing songs, lavishing sets and dramatic effects. The spectacular coups de theatre combined with breath-taking music and vocal performances engaged the audience in such a way that I could have never imagined. Read the rest of this entry »
When the latest games or hottest gadgets are unveiled, one term comes to mind; Japan. Over the past few years, Japan has been the source of eye-popping envy throughout the world. Every time there is a new hype, it is always connected to Japan in one form or shape. I wondered, is everything from Japan that attractive? This leads me to the Japanese section of The Metropolitan Museum of Art. I had high expectations of Japanese productions; even if it is old, I believe there are bound to be inspiring.

If I told you that you were going to something that had music, acting, and dance, your first thought would probably be that you are going to a Broadway show. In fact, you would be wrong. This past week I attended all of that, for a measly five dollars. If you are still confused, I am not surprised.
What I went to was a Read the rest of this entry »
