The studios of more than 100 artists are open to the public. Yesterday we checked out Scotto Mycklebust's studio. It was worth the climb up five flights of stairs.

In 1979, artists Christo and Jeanne-Claude proposed one of the largest public art installations in history: a 
“golden river” of 7,500 fabric-paneled gates in Central Park . Transcending controversy, it was finally completed in 2005. Antonio Ferrera and Albert Maysles’ film, "The Gates," chronicles the artists’ 26-year commitment to transform the winter darkness of the park into a garden of light and color.

Talk on the Wild Side - Leee Black Childers and Tony Zanetta recalling Andy Warhol's play PORK, which opened
36 years ago tonight at La MaMa. Leee Black Childers and Tony Zanetta recall Andy Warhol's play PORK which opened 36 years ago tonight at LaMaMa etc and how the Ridiculous Theatre Community of actors and "superstars" of the late 60's and early 70's effected the evolution of Glitter, Glam and Punk Rock. PORK was based on tape-recorded telephone conversations between Andy Warhol and Brigid Berlin about her family's private life. Her mother Honey Berlin, a Fifth Avenue socialite who included the Duke of Windsor amongst her close friends, was livid when she found out about the play by reading a review of it in the New York Times. The play ran for two weeks.
