If you are in the area, you have no excuse to not check out this exhibit!

"An Economy of Grace" by Kehinde Wiley. Now showing at Sean Kelly Gallery in NYC through June 16, 2012.
Kehinde Wiley is on fire! His art is in the permanent collections across the country and as is the current art trend, he has not one but two major exhibitions happening simultaneously in New York. “An Economy of Grace” is showing at Sean Kelly Gallery and “The World Stage: Israel” is showing at the Jewish Museum.
Kehinde Wiley
The detail, sizes of paintings and color schemes Wiley uses are great and are very impressive when viewed up close. “An Economy of Grace” was inspired by the marginalization of African-American women in art history. In addition, Wiley collaborated with Riccardo Tisci, Creative Director of the famed French couture house Givenchy, who created dresses that Wiley’s models wore. Kehinde Wiley is not stopping there, however. A documentary inspired by “An Economy of Grace” is being made and he’s also designed the artwork for singer Santigold’s latest record. Go Kehinde, go!
Off with that white woman's head!
“An Economy of Grace” by Kehinde Wiley is running through June 16, 2012 at Sean Kelly Gallery, which is located at 528 West 29th Street in New York.

Jake Shears of Scissor Sisters
Let’s have a kiki! It pleases me to no end to say the following sentence: Scissor Sisters are back! One of the most fun bands you will ever see live previewed songs from their upcoming album “Magic Hour” at New York’s Bowery Ballroom on May 6, 2012. I’ve lost count as to how many times I’ve seen Scissor Sisters in concert (and it has to be over 20 times by this point), but one thing always remains – their shows are always a damn good time! Playing a nice mix of tracks from each of their albums (including the non-US album track “The Skins”), Scissor Sisters rocked the socks off the audience at Bowery Ballroom!
Ana Matronic of Scissor Sisters
Jake Shears and Ana Matronic mentioned how Bowery Ballroom is their favorite place in New York to play (and to see concerts as well) and I have to agree. It’s hard to have a bad time at the legendary venue. A great time was had by all tonight which included many familiar faces such as Jonathan Pierce from The Drums, Anderson Cooper, Kelly Ripa, Mark Consuelos and actress Susan Sarandon. The Sisters played 7 new songs from their upcoming album “Magic Hour” (which will be released at the end of May 2012) including the first two singles “Only The Horses” and the rap-infused track “Shady Love.” The dance party/answering machine message “Let’s Have A Kiki” was also played and included a great choreographed routine with Jake and the back-up singers (see photo below). “Keep Your Shoes On” is a dance track that is destined to become a Scissor Sisters classic. “Years of Living Dangerously” is a slower song that the audience was definitely vibing to and “Baby Come Home” has a groove similar to “Laura.”
Let's Have a Kiki!
A video of another new song “Inevitable” will be coming soon, so please bookmark this site and visit often (shameless plug - however, it’s hard to deny that I provide great and exclusive content 7 days a week!) Sandwiched in between the new songs (all of which made their US live debut), were classic Scissor Sisters songs such as their cover of Pink Floyd’s “Comfortably Numb,” “Take Your Mama,” “Mary,” “Invisible Light,” “Skin This Cat,” “Kiss You Off,” “Any Which Way,” “Music is the Victim,” and “I Don’t Feel Like Dancin’.”

I saw a lot of fellow die-hard Scissor Sisters fans at the show and their energy and enthusiasm for this band is unparalleled. In turn, the band returns the love of their fans and I must say that Scissor Sisters are the nicest band in rock and roll. They are always happy to meet fans, sign their stuff, take photos and answer any questions their fans might have. In addition to their great music and their ridiculously fun shows, that’s reason enough to always support and see this band!
Jake Shears and Baby Daddy
Thanks again to Scissor Sisters for another great show and they’ll be back in the States in the summer so do not miss them at any cost when they come to your town!
See the set list after the jump.
