New York, New York ... and a giant rat

Every year CIA’s Visual Arts and Technology Environment hosts a New York Art Excursion for students. Students from all over the school participate and while there they have the opportunity to engage a board spectrum of contemporary art. It’s a strictly low frills affair but the chance to see work of such scope is priceless and the trip further adds to the sense of a lifelong community among the students.

This year students were doubly lucky in that both the Whitney Biennial and the Armory Show were available for viewing. In addition students visited the Metropolitan Museum and walked the Chelsea Galleries with CIA Professor Saul Ostrow who also happens to write for Art in America and is the Art Editor for Bomb Magazine.
