Escape To New York Festival 2011

8/15/2011

What was described to be a mix between Coachella and Burning Man, Escape To New York, was certainly not your average run of the mill music festival. This festival focused not only on music but the arts and  some scrumptious cuisine as well!

This festival captivated my attention right from the get-go due to the fact that it emulated a fantastical land similar to that of Alice In Wonderland. Normally, I enjoy people watching on Phish Tour or at your local Walmart Supercenter but this festival trumped both scenes! People were animated with costumes just as colorful as their imaginations! 

Everything stated within Escape To New York's manifesto was pretty accurate. 
For example, Exhibit A is a photo used on the festivals website to give a preview as to what's to be expected. Exhibit B is what I came to find.

I've attended many festivals in my day, however, none hold a flame to the art instillations showcased at the Escape To New York Festival. Each piece was  innovative, varying in medium, purpose, and sense of scale. 

While enjoying an overpriced nice cold beer, a fellow festi-goer approached me asking  if I had stumbled into the woods yet... I replied "no." It was at that time that this perfect stranger suggested I waltz on over and check out one particular piece, he referred to as "disturbing."

If this doesn't change your perception of good old Bambi, I don't know what will. I'm unsure what would possess one to construct such a _____________ (insert witty word here), but I do give this artist an A+. Why? Shock art. I am a firm believer in creating artworks which evoke emotion. Whether you are repulsed or titillated is irrelevant, the fact of the matter is, this piece impacted your mind in some way, causing you to have a reaction. She certainly got a rise out of many people, thus making this piece a success! Kudos!



***STAY TUNED!***

& any other random bullshit I can blog about!

Life on the opposite side of the camera...

A few months ago, I blogged about my trip to the Hallmark Institute of Photography! I did a few poses here and there for a girlfriend of mine and the proofs finally came back!
Picture
Although it's absolutely wonderful to have a photo like this to look back on when I'm nice and old...I think my place is behind the camera! I've had the pleasure of seeing this photographer grow tremendously throughout her time at Hallmark and it was a real treat to work with her. Look out for Mayella Lopez everyone, she's a force to be reckoned with!
