Deitch Project's Shepard Fairey Exhibit

Thursday after work I stopped by the Deitch Project gallery to see the Shepard Fairey exhibit. Shepard Fairey is a contemporary "street" artist that is most famous for his prints. His most famous piece is the Obama "Hope" poster used during the 2008 Presidential election.

I was really happy I walked over to the exhibit, his use of screen prints and news paper scraps made the art have a lot of depth. His images were mostly political and pop-culture pieces.

Here are some pictures I took while I was there....

Chandler Burr's Scent Dinners

Check out these clips from Chandler Burr's (New York Times' perfume critic) Scent Dinners:

"Collaborating with great chefs, he also hosts interactive Scent Dinners, masterclasses in gourmand scents and a series that takes diners through the structure and artistry of food-based scent raw materials (absolutes of cinnamon, ginger, and vanilla) and the perfumes made from them. Burr creates an invisible 8-course olfactory dinner using gourmand perfumes from Angel (which uses a molecule in cotton candy) and Piment Brûlant (habanero pepper) to Light Blue (lemon + tart green apple) and Shalimar (rich vanilla). The chefs pair Burr's scent dinners with their culinary dinners, each edible course reflecting the gourmand perfume that precedes it. Burr has created his Scent Dinners with chefs Jimmy Sakatos of The Carlyle in New York, Martín Rios in Santa Fe, Samuel Benne of Lapérouse, Paris, Fabrice Guisset at Las Ventanas in Cabo, Mexico, and Vito Mollica, Ex Chef of the Four Seasons, Florence."
