Back to normal
Light Cycle, Monday night's fireworks display above the Central Park Reservoir by Chinese-born artist Cai Guo-Qiang, signalled the completion of the New York art world's rise from late-summer slumber. The last two weeks have been filled with opening receptions, dinners with friends, late-night parties, panel discussions, group tours, benefit events, and catching up with friends who ventured out into the world during the last three months. This has all been set against a backdrop of new art. (Some good, some bad.) Now, while the dust settles, I must begin to sort out my experiences and figure out what needs to be committed to paper. I'm not sure what form this journal will take--or even if it will stay at this location--but I know that, as everything picks up speed, I will need to use it as a way to keep thoughts in front of me. I'll keep you posted.
