October 30, 2021 kenpierce Leave a comment

“The Chronicles of Piercing Ken” lifestyle blog attended the 2021 Artexpo New York which was held at the spacious Pier 36 on the Lower East Side. This would mark our first time attending this amazing art show and being able to do so as a member of the press. During the exploration I did a series of interviews with some amazing artists and gallery owners. The videos are resident on the still-growing Piercing Ken YouTube Channel but have also been compiled into a series of posts to enhance the coverage done by the website. This is part one in the series that will run until all of the interviews have been featured.

Piercing Ken Thoughts: Sadly, I’ve never been to this particular event before but did learn about it from our friends over at the The Worley Gig who’ve covered it a number of times over the years. One of my plans for this year before it all came crashing down was to explore it at long last and bring you the inside scoop. Let’s hope that the Spring Show that is listed on their website will end up happening because if it is I will do my best to be there as well. See you next time. Feel free to chime in if you were planning on this one as I’d love to hear from you.

30 Rooms: The Art Of Nicholas Borelli

November 10, 2013 Piercing Ken Leave a comment

A few months ago I was invited to an art presentation that was called “30 Rooms” and this was being held in an office building on what appeared to be an open floor for the Regus Business Center company. Organized and sponsored by Six Summit Gallery, the event would present thirty different artists in thirty different rooms. While I did not manage to see every single room, I did get to a bunch that I really enjoyed and shall be presenting each of those artists in their own posting to allow for better focused attention. Here is Nicholas Borelli:
