I went to\u201dSALON ZURCHER: 100 WOMEN OF SPIRIT+, PART 3\u201d off of Bleecker Street, which is a satellite fair of The Armory Show, and it was free which was a nice factor (the affordable art fair wasn\u2019t looking so affordable). When we went, the only thing I could seriously focus on was how hot it was inside. The building. Mind you, it was raining all day and kinda chilly, so we were in pants and raincoats. But an, this building was an instant sauna. We didn\u2019t last that long inside purely because of how hot it was, but there also wasn\u2019t much artwork left, but what was was amazing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/openlab.macaulay.cuny.edu\/french2025\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/52\/2025\/09\/IMG_8069-768x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-551\" srcset=\"https:\/\/openlab.macaulay.cuny.edu\/french2025\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/52\/2025\/09\/IMG_8069-768x1024.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/openlab.macaulay.cuny.edu\/french2025\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/52\/2025\/09\/IMG_8069-225x300.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/openlab.macaulay.cuny.edu\/french2025\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/52\/2025\/09\/IMG_8069-1152x1536.jpeg 1152w, https:\/\/openlab.macaulay.cuny.edu\/french2025\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/52\/2025\/09\/IMG_8069-1536x2048.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/openlab.macaulay.cuny.edu\/french2025\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/52\/2025\/09\/IMG_8069-scaled.jpeg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>This piece\u2019s artists as actually in the building, and I got to speak with her. All of the pieces are herself as I am my most reliable model\u201d she says. Even though each expression is identical, I think each portrait tells a different story. A bonus was that she was really nice and answered all of my questions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/openlab.macaulay.cuny.edu\/french2025\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/52\/2025\/09\/IMG_8070-768x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-552\" srcset=\"https:\/\/openlab.macaulay.cuny.edu\/french2025\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/52\/2025\/09\/IMG_8070-768x1024.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/openlab.macaulay.cuny.edu\/french2025\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/52\/2025\/09\/IMG_8070-225x300.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/openlab.macaulay.cuny.edu\/french2025\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/52\/2025\/09\/IMG_8070-1152x1536.jpeg 1152w, https:\/\/openlab.macaulay.cuny.edu\/french2025\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/52\/2025\/09\/IMG_8070-1536x2048.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/openlab.macaulay.cuny.edu\/french2025\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/52\/2025\/09\/IMG_8070-scaled.jpeg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>This was another piece in the corner of the gallery that caught my eye. I love sculpture, so this was one that I immediately felt drawn to. I love the dynamic, almost moving nature of it, and I was sad I didn\u2019t get to meet the artist like I did the others. The black and green contrast of living and dead also tells a story of life, and I think that\u2019s so beautiful. I also can\u2019t help but think \u201dain\u2019t no way I could make something like that\u201d, because I was so in awe of how complicated it looked in person.  I had a really fun trip this day between the MET, Midtown, and the gallery, so I\u2019m glad it ended with something more niche and cool.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The same day we went to the MET, we decided to knock out the art gallery visit as well.
