With so many amazing art and fashion exhibits around the city this month, I spent an afternoon with friends hopping around to museums and galleries, scratching a few exhibits off my very long list. My favorite of all was the Calder Shadows exhibit. Mobiles and sculptures from American Artist, Alexander Calder (1898-1976) casted shadows along the walls and floor of the Venus Over Manhattan Gallery. The mobiles danced with the energy in the gallery, making for ever-changing shadows. Everywhere I stood, I saw new beauty in the linear shadows. As I reviewed my photos of the exhibit, I fell in love with the images where you can’t tell where the mobile ends and the shadows begin, they become one in the same. I might even print one of these images to frame and hang in our apartment.
If you find yourself on the Upper East Side, take an hour to visit this exhibit, you won’t be disappointed. The exhibit is open to the public Tuesday through Saturday from 10am-6pm.
