The word of the day is “Determination”
Posted on 14. Mar, 2012 by JohnKnowles in Arts, RS Pop, Uncategorized
It’s 6:45 in the morning on Wednesday, March 14 and the word of the day is “Determination”. By seven, the sun will be rising and the city will begin to bustle.
I’ve been up organizing my notes, made a video, and am making sure all affairs are in order. We had a brilliant art opening on Friday of last week showcasing the art of Christopher Ulrich in our new RSPop[+] Popup Shop. The show is curated by Molly Barnes who is responsible for our own Brown-bag Lunch series that takes place twice a month at the Roger Smith Hotel. I have an interest in connecting the right people with this provocative collection of art. The most dominant of painting in the space is “The Last Words of Aleister Crowley” present on the back wall of the Pop-up art gallery.
Amongst ourselves, with a little research courtesy of Ingrid David we came up with a great story describing the lore of the painting. It was argued that Aleister Crowley on his deathbed said something like “I am perplexed” or “sometime, I hate myself”.
The show is worth seeing and will be up on display at 501 Lexington Ave. at the base of the Roger Smith Hotel through March 2012.
For all you art collectors out there this is a call to action to see and be part of a great young artist career.
