Looking for love?
I’ve been at the Brooklyn Museum for about a year-and-a-half now, which is also as long as I’ve been a resident of our fair borough. I’ve worked many places in the country—at and for different museums—and one thing that struck … Continue reading

A yoga teacher once told me, “you have everything you need and more than you could possibly imagine.” As an over scheduled, stressed out, on-the-go, hyper stimulated, frazzled, crazed, sometimes angst-y urban woman, this seemed like a really funny joke. … Continue reading
Thursday @ 7 . . . in Yemen.
Filmed in Yemen, The Oath is an extraordinary portrait of Abu Jandal, former body guard to Osama bin Laden, jihadist, father, mentor, and cab driver. He’s also an engaging and intriguing character with a magnetic personality. Dare I use the … Continue reading

Some things go better together: POV and Brooklyn Museum
Like Coney Island and hot dogs, some things just go together. Such is the combined forces of the award winning documentary series, POV and the Brooklyn Museum’s Thursdays @ 7. The partnership started as all partnerships do, with an idea … Continue reading
First Saturday Photo Wrap-Up
As I am busily preparing for this month’s Target First Saturday, it’s a perfect time to reflect on last month’s, when we kicked off our special exhibition Who Shot Rock and Roll with a showcase of indie bands from the … Continue reading
Terence Koh Performa 09
Terence Koh’s Untitled, a stack of thirty-three glass cases, is a striking presence in the Contemporary galleries. Almost every case contains an artifact that’s been painted white. Some of these date back to the artist’s childhood while others are from … Continue reading

No September First Saturday, but join me on Facebook!
Summer’s Target First Saturdays have been great and I’ve loved watching everyone stream into the Museum’s parking lot to dance under the stars. West Indian-American Carnival 2008 – Brooklyn, NY by David Berkowitz via Flickr. This is just a reminder … Continue reading
