Art Rock - contemporary art at Rockefeller Center

Yeah for Clementine Gallery! After being rejected by The Armory Show, they took matters into their own hands and ended up with a contemporary show at the Rockefeller Center Plaza called Art Rock. It started today, and runs through March 14. Some snapshots:

Taylor McKimens has a wonderful paper house installation. It was impossible to photograph, at least for me, so I'm showing you a detail of his little grass edge in the room. His installation is outstanding.

The Armory Show: Becoming less relevant every year.

If the White House can welcome a blogger into their press core, the least that the Armory can do is welcome art bloggers. I mean, it costs them what, $20? Ridiculous!

Lame-o of us! I just heard of and saw this for the 1st time. It's fab!
Congrats! Elizabeth Burke
