Join the National Academy of Design in New York City for an enlightening and thought-provoking event titled "Syncretism & Sustainability: Sanford Biggers, Willie Cole + Mel Kendrick." This event will take place on April 25, 2024, at the National Academy of Design located at 519 West 26th Street Second Floor, New York, NY 10001. Admission to this event is free, but reservations are required. The program will commence at 6:30 PM.

At this event, renowned artists Sanford Biggers NA, Willie Cole NA, and Mel Kendrick NA will engage in a moderated discussion about formal innovation. They will explore the intriguing concepts of syncretism, sustainability, and the fusion of different traditions of making. Drawing inspiration from the historical term synkrētismos, meaning "union of communities," the artists will delve into how syncretism relates to their sculptural practices and how they draw from the past to inform their work.

Sanford Biggers NA, a Los Angeles native now based in New York City, uses his art to examine social, political, and economic events through a historical lens. By incorporating antique quilts that are rumored to have been used as signposts on the Underground Railroad, he adds his voice to the narrative of American history. Willie Cole, a conceptual artist, transforms everyday objects into sculptures and installations, exploring the memory-storing capacity of objects and confronting the legacies of slavery.

Mel Kendrick, a preeminent American sculptor, embraces diverse materials such as cast bronze, concrete, wood, rubber, resin, and cast paper. Through his work, Kendrick explores the philosophical and conceptual aspects of sculpture, examining the relationship between the object and its creation process.

Don't miss this unique opportunity to engage with these accomplished artists and gain insights into their creative processes. Make your reservation today, as spaces are limited. This event promises to be a captivating exploration of syncretism and sustainability in contemporary art.

The Metropolitan Museum is a world-class art museum in New York City, USA. I have some brief feelings after visiting: 1. Extensive collections: The Metropolitan Museum has a wide range of collections, including artworks from Europe and the Americas, artworks from Africa and Asia, ancient artworks and more. These collections show the development of human art and culture. 2. Fine art: The artworks in the museum, whether they are paintings, sculptures or crafts, have made me feel the talents and innovation of the artists. 3. Interactive: There are many interactive exhibitions in the museum, which can better understand and appreciate the artwork. 4. Educational: The explanations and guided tours in the museum are very detailed, and for me, this is a good opportunity to learn and understand art. 5. Spacious and comfortable: the museum has a reasonable space layout and makes people feel very comfortable. It doesn&rsquo;t feel crowded even with a lot of people. Overall, visiting the Metropolitan Museum was a very pleasant experience and I highly recommend everyone to have the opportunity to visit.

The representative of New York, the United States, there are two lines to go, we are on the ferry, and there are speedboats to sit, but this is the most cost-effective. I went at two o&#39;clock in the afternoon. There were not many people. It was just right to come back. If I went in the morning, there were more tour groups and the queue was very long.

The first day of the New Year is a tourist, but compared to the domestic people, the queue time is reasonable. . . The roof is too windy, the 80th floor is indoor, the photo has reflection, you can go up to the 86th floor to take pictures outside, overlooking the whole of New York.
