Arts, Events & Festivals, New York, Things to Do |  July 12, 2012 | By Duane Bobbsemple


If you’re interested in some next level forward minded progressive shit, then the following might interest you. Every Saturday from now until Sept. 8th, the folks at MoMA PS1 host a crazy dance party in their huge courtyard. The Warm Up is an outdoor music series that has exploded in popularity in recent years. It’s built a reputation for introducing audiences to the best in experimental live music, sound, performance, and DJ’s. And, they not only experiment with the sounds but they mess around with the visuals too. This year the courtyard has been transformed into a temporary urban landscape (yeah, next level!).

Berlin: An Hour At The Bauhaus

Arts, Berlin, Things to Do |  April 25, 2012 | By Duane Bobbsemple


I’m not much of a design addict. So when my boy H (that’s short for Harold also pictured below) invited me to tag along with him to Berlin’s Bauhaus museum, I initially wanted to say no. Staring at mockups and blueprints isn’t my idea of fun. But somehow, I ended up going anyway. If you’re not familiar with the Bauhaus (don’t worry I wasn’t either), the Bauhaus was a school that was founded by Walter Gropius. And the idea was to fuse the arts and design and simply make things look better, a lot better. Let’s just say without the Bauhuas Ikea would look a whole lot different.

My Review of Miami’s Art Basel

Arts, Events & Festivals, Miami |  April 18, 2012 | By Duane Bobbsemple

Back in December of last year I flew down to Miami to check out the Art Basel convention. And let me just say this: I didn’t think that I would enjoy Art Basel as much I did. I thought that I’d jet down to MIA for a few days, check out the convention, some galleries, and maybe hit a party or two.
