Art Southampton: July 7th-11th

This is the elite art event of the summer, where throngs of the art world migrate from the city to the Hamptons to shmooze over celebrity appearances, auctions, and seminars on all things artistic. Galleries from near and far contribute to represent these artists, totaling at about 70 different booths.

This year, I attended the first day open for the public. I noticed a theme of method in what was entered into the exhibition.

There were so many multiples projects, using different objects as pixels of an image, to sculptures made out of smaller sculptures. There were also a load of images encased in LED light boxes, as if they were on a TV screen. Both of these mediums show how technology has affected the art world. Though the work was all in the theme of nature and wildlife, the way it was all represented was so new age.

Here are a few things that really stood out for me as brilliant and innovative, as well as some oldie but goodies.

De Re Gallery

Brian Bowen Smith, "Wild Horses" $5000

I just really appreciate the playfulness of this photograph. Though masks are an old tradition and it's in black and white, this photo looks very pop-culture.

Gallery M

Howard Schatz, "The Last Supper" 2005, $30,000


I have always wanted to shoot under water. Schatz has inspired my next project!

Pontone Gallery

Jeff Robb, "Unnatural Causes 15" 2015 Lenticular Photo


This reminded me how the human form doesn't always have to pose like Venus of Urbino, or in contrapposto. This photo was also a hologram, and had everyone walking past multiple times.

Olivia Park Gallery

Kiseok Kim "Plastics 3"


The detail of this painting up close is impeccable. Though it looks like computer art, which is also a commendable feat, this is entirely done by hand.

Louis K. Meisel Gallery

Brian Booth Craig, "Carey" 2015 in bronze $24,000

I think it's so badass of a pose, to be holding part of an animals skull while bearing all. This is just striking and empowering.

UNIX Gallery

Desire Obtain Cherish "Married to Success"


Sponder Gallery

William King "Take it or Leave it" 1986


I love the style of King to always accentuate long legs. There's always humor and style encompassed in his work.

McNeill Art Group

Jeff Muhs "Study in Form With Jimmy Choos and Concrete" $10,000


After moving to New York, I resonate with this piece, slamming my new shoes into the hot sticky concrete and my feet expanding as the night goes on. I love to imagine how he made this.

Eduardo Guelfenbein "Cheer" acrylic 2015


This painting is closest to my style, I LOVE MARBLING. Looking at this gives me hope.

C24 Gallery

Nick Gentry "Watch" 2015

This is a beautiful interpretation of a multiples project. I feel at peace that film photography is being used in so many new ways lately. This work also had the LED lightbox, which reminds me of the processing of film in the darkroom.

The Battle Between College And My Mental Health

College isn't easy, and I'm afraid I'm not going to make it at the rate my mental health is going.

Everyone tells you that college is hard, but they fail to explain why. Sure, classes are hard. Math sucks, and political science can be so boring. But that's not even what's killing me about college. What's killing me about college is my deterioating mental health.

As a college student, I feel as if people don't understand just how exhausted I, and fellow college students are. We have so many things going on, all the time, and sometimes it's hard to explain to people how we feel. Personally...I'm tired. I'm sad. And I'm struggling every single day with my emotions. But the thing is, it hasn't always been this way. I haven't always hated school, so why am I feeling like this now?

For the average 20-something, life moves pretty fast. You’ve got classes, friends, relationships, jobs, family, and whatever else we overcommit ourselves with. I probably should have learned to say no to adding more to my schedule a long time ago, but instead here are 11 things that can be more helpful than coffee.

Resting b***h face. Defined as a person, usually a girl, who naturally looks mean when her face is expressionless, without meaning to. Many of you suffer from this "condition." You are commonly asked what's wrong, when nothing is. What people don't know is that is just your facial expression. Here are some things they wish you knew.
