Its been awhile since the last installment of Walker After Hours, and art lovers came out in droves for opening of the must-see exhibit Eero Saarinen: Shaping the Future. The Walker proved the place to be Friday night as a packed house of partiers sipped cocktails and mingled to a smooth soundtrack provided by Mike the 2600 King.
l'étoile magazine swooped through the Walker on Friday night for the opening of the must-see exhibit "Worlds Away: New Suburban Landscapes". We were lucky enough to catch up with curators Andrew Blauvelt and Tracy Myers. Said Blauvelt, "Suburbia is a cultural blindspot for the arts, architects in general and artists in particular." Their dedicated group chose to spotlight an amazingly diverse collection of suburban-inspired works, including a piece made in collaboration by NYU darling Jesse Seigers. Jesse and crew chose "hot-rod trashcans" as their favorite suburban icon.
From city cats to country club cuties, the crowd sparkled with the kind of excitement and comraderie only a completely familiar, iconic and almost disturbing theme like Suburbia can create.
