GO SEE / MARINA ABRAMOVIC: THE ARTIST PRESENT AT / THE MoMA ON VIEW / MAY 14TH – MAY 31ST 2010
The MoMA has given us the gift of a Marina Abramović retrospective. The exhibition will feature approximately 50 works spanning the course of her 4 decade career. Included are her sound pieces, video works, installations, photographs, solo performances, and collaborative performances made with Ulay (Uwe Laysiepen). Also on view with be the first live re-performances of Abramović’s works by other people ever to be undertaken in a museum setting. But the most interesting part of the exhibition will most definitely be observing Ms. Abramović as she sits in the center of the MoMA's atrium, at a table, and stares for the duration of the show– an inconceivable 700 hours. Sit across from the artist, face to face, dare to allow your eyes reach her gaze. Trust us, it's powerful. To be honest, we're still deciphering the experience.
Head to MoMA for further info on the exhibition. CLICK HERE to view a tasting of her work.

NEW DISCOVERIES FROM THE INTERNATIONAL
RESTAURANT AND FOODSERVICE SHOW BY / JENIFER LANG
Last week I attended the 2010 International Restaurant and Foodservice Show in the Javits Center. Oddly, when I was a practicing restaurateur, I didn’t feel the need to attend the show, but now I am very interested in going. Hospitality professionals from all over the United States go to this convention, which provides a venue for food and equipment purveyors to show and hawk their wares.
After the jump– a few the things that bowled me over at the show.
