ARTgasm Factor
NYC and Berlin are both places where you’d be at risk of having an artgasm. However, with Broadway (& Off Broadway), the 1500 art galleries in NYC and counting, not to mention the thousands of international musicians, orchestras and bands touring New York City each week, NYC is THE utopia for culture vultures.
What can these vultures feast out on this month?
Great Gatsby soirees,
Rooftop Films Opening Weekend,
American Ballet Theatre Opening Night Gala,
"PUNK: Chaos to Couture" at The Met,
Claes Oldenberg: The Street and the Store" at MoMA, the
Great GoogaMooga at Prospect Park headlined by NYC alt-rockers Yeah Yeah Yeahs and the Flaming Lips, sex columnist
Dan Savage talking about his new book "American Savage: Insights, Slights, and Fights on Faith, Sex, Love, and Politics" at NY Public Library, the
World Science Festival, the
Broadway Beauty Pageant, The Killers + Tegan and Sara at Barclays Center,
Frieze Art Fair New York at Randalls Island Park,
Lower East Side Festival of the Arts at Theater for the New City and Washington Square Outdoor Art Exhibit.
Winner: Tie. Both cities have art galleries, music and fashion galore - with enough cuts and color to fuel the counterculture movement for decades to come.
