Elvis Presley @ Madison Square Garden
This is a piece by Jonas Mekas that is in my art collection. – LOM (@youngglobal)
This photograph features an image of Elvis Presley at his last ever concert in New York City on June 9, 1972. Depicting the music legend with his arms, clad in a white cape, outstretched like an angel, the filmstrip bursts into a flame of red light, seemingly foreshadowing Presley’s descent into addiction, and eventual death in 1977.
Elvis Presley, Madison Square Garden, New York, June 9, 1972. Last New York Concert was created for the Art Affair: Chinatown 2010, which benefited the Guggenheim Museum’s Young Collectors Council Acquisitions Fund. Featuring works by Lizzi Bougatsos and Jonas Mekas, the Art Affair celebrated two generations of contemporary artists who work in many media including film, photography, collage, and installation.
Lunch with the FT: Jay Jopling Lunch with the FT: Jay Jopling
Standing on bohemian, buzzing Bermondsey Street in south London, outside Europe’s biggest commercial art gallery, its owner Jay Jopling gazes through a row of upright, painted steel fins that demarcates the courtyard. “I wanted a low wall, to be welcoming, open, but the local planning department wouldn’t allow it,” he explains. “I never forget walking down Cork Street [in Mayfair] as a student and the gallerists watching me, sizing up whether I could afford pictures or not. All my galleries have big glass doors. This building is simple, democratic – an open front, a white cube in the middle. It’s very transparent. It isn’t just for people buying art.”

The Soñando en Color project will function as an Artists panel discussion, Art Exhibition, and youth cultural exchange program in Cuba this May in conjunction with the Havana Biennial.
This project will examine the response that Afro-Diasporan artists have to the socio-cultural climate and history of Cuba. The project seeks to explore the cultural footprint that Contemporary Cuba has made on the world, how people of African descent have reacted to this influence, and how that information relates to the world’s current socio-economic and political transitions.
A portion of the proceeds raised for this project will be used to enhance the technological education of the children's art program at El Centro Experimental de Artes Visuals, the host gallery for the Soñando en Color exhibit in Havana Cuba. The remainder of the funds raised will be used to support the exhibition and children’s art workshop.
Brooklyn art incubator is the organizer of this event. Brooklyn Art Incubator Inc. is a US 501(c)3 non-profit organization. Donations can also be made on the donation page of brooklynartincubator.org
