Studio Visit with Dustin Yellin
18 January 2012 by
RxArt and Half Gallery took a trip to Red Hook to visit artist Dustin Yellin at his studio in Brooklyn. Yellin is a both drawer and sculptor: using ink, acrylic, and collage, he renders images on multiple sheets of resin or glass and then layers them on top of one another. Like an insect caught in amber, Yellin's drawings are encapsulated worlds suspended in time.
In addition to his studio, we also got a peek into his 24,000-square-foot industrial warehouse, which he is converting into an artist workspace and gallery. See the photos below!

A tribute to a friend
12 January 2012 by
RxArt mourns the loss of bookseller John McWhinnie, who died tragically in a water accident while on vacation in the British Virgin Islands last Friday. A friend and key supporter of RxArt, John served on the benefit committee for multiple galas and generously donated artwork to the auctions throughout the years. His kaleidoscopic knowledge of books and art was unparalleled, and his kindness and loyalty will never be forgotten.

Yayoi Kusama: The Obliteration Room
03 January 2012 by
What do you get when you combine thousands of colorful polka-dot stickers, kids, and psychedelic Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama? The Obliteration Room, an interactive installation which is part of the exhibition "Look Now See Forever" at the Queensland Gallery of Modern Art. Kusama brought her characteristic polka-dot aesthetic to a monochromatic, fully furnished white room, which served as a blank canvas. Over the course of two weeks, thousands of visitors were invited to collaborate in the transformation of the space, covering the room in a cacophony of color. Check the end results below!

RxArt Visits CT Scanner in Oak Lawn, IL
03 January 2012 by
I spent the holiday weekend in Chicago visiting family and while I was there I decided to take a side trip to see the Jeff Koons installation at Advocate Hope Children's Hospital in Oak Lawn, Illinois. I have seen many pictures of the installation but nothing could prepare me for seeing it in person--the colors are even more vibrant than they appear in photographs and the actual size of the CT scanner and the decals is much larger than I anticipated.
I could spot the room with the installation even from a distance, and as a nurse led me down the hall and to the room, I could see the colors spilling out into the hallway. I was completely taken aback when I entered the room and proceeded to spend quite a bit of time just taking everything in. As someone who experiences anxiety when visiting the doctor or the hospital, I can only wish that every room could be like this one--I would feel a lot more positive about visiting the doctor or getting tests done if it could take place in such a colorful and cheerful setting!
