Surprisingly under the radar, New York’s first art fair dedicated entirely to Asian contemporary art opened quietly yesterday with the invite-only cocktail and performance by Sin Cha Hong and the band, Second Hand Rose. An event of this magnitude should have had a more intense marketing blitz, and I’m still scratching my head over why […]
Independent curator, Omar Lopez-Chahoud, has put together the group show titled I Died for Beauty, which opens tomorrow night at the Newman Popiashvili Gallery:
The underlining concept of the show is based on the idea of personal transformation as a liberating, powerful change from one state of being to another.
