    If you don't know who used to live at Fort Gansevoort in the late 70s and 80s now you do, Nelson…read moreSullivan. He was one of the first videographers who chronicled his life in Downtown Manhattan's arts and club scene. He has hundreds of videos documented of his daily life in the city, including wild nights out on the town and private moments with his famous friends. For any NYC history buff's, check out his videos on YouTube under "5thavenueproject". It's like going back in time to see how the city and everyone used to be....way before iphones and social media. It's crazy to see his videos of NYC during this era and the moments of when he lived in Fort Gansevoort and what the meatpacking district looked like then. What a total different place it has become! Gentrification anyone? When I visited the house last year, the outside door still looks the same. The tree outside across the steps was planted by Nelson Sullivan when he moved into the home. It's huge now but very small in his videos. The bricks on the outside of the house look like originals too. I heard that the top floor of Fort Gansevoort has some pictures and memorabilia from Nelson Sullivan from the time he lived there. I'm glad they kept a section to keep his memory alive.

    Traveled all the way from Ireland pay homage to the Great Nelson Sullivan I have watched his vlogs…read moreand followed his life so I arrived during business hours I was told we were closed for a staff meeting no signage to indicate that they were having a staff meeting or closed during business hours I asked nicely if I could go upstairs to see Nelson's memorial and I was told no go away we're having a staff meeting . I told him my story and was told to come back on Saturday..... Very sad management to a great leading LGBTQ icon .... Very sad ! This is a very important space of gay new york history and just be nice to people it's not all about the money .

    Chelsea

    When I was in my 20s, during my first visit to New York City, I met gallerists Andrea Rosen and…read moreTanya Bonakdar at their respective galleries in SoHo. Rosen's gallery was located on Prince Street. These days, most of the top galleries like Gagosian and Bonakdar's are located in Chelsea. But I kind of miss the old SoHo days, and the atmosphere in Chelsea is totally different - almost like another world. Most of all, I miss Rosen's SoHo gallery. When I visited, she came out from the back and discussed the artist whose work she was exhibiting at the time, Miguel Calderon. I remember really liking his work. She also simultaneously showed the work of Iñigo Manglano-Ovalle. I read somewhere that Rosen has donated her archives to the Smithsonian's Archives of American Art. And while she no longer appears to have a physical gallery, it seems like she still represents (the estate of) Felix Gonzalez-Torres. Honestly, I wish she would reopen the gallery at some point. Rosen and her perspectives on art were a huge inspiration years ago.

    Great gallery. I recently learned that on Saturdays, members of the gallery's staff (and even…read moreAndrea Rosen herself) stand in the gallery and talk to visitors about the work. It's very generous--I got a full tour of a fascinating show, "Counter Forms," with works by Tetsumi Kudo, Alina Szapocznikow, Paul Thek and Hannah Wilke, all of whom worked in different parts of them world, died youngish and were forgotten in the 90s but making a comeback now. And they deserve it: weird materials and biomorphic forms, industrail waste and synthetic pigments, intriguing use of slightly sickening colors and textures--a fertile mix of mad-science lab and contemplative poetry that seems to speak to the ways in which artists are dealing with the relationship between bodies and technologies now. Usually Andrea Rosen has a few shows up at once - a big one in the front, medium in the middle, and a selection of works by different artists in the showroom in the far rear, which means you're guaranteed to find SOMEthing to like on any given visit. For 'Counter Forms," however, the whole gallery was devoted to this single group exhibition. But it's definitely worth it! so much to see. There is also a small appendix across the street. I feel like the narrowness of this space makes it slightly awkward. It's smaller than any of the spaces across the street, even the little showroom in the back. I haven't felt really impressed or moved by a show here yet but, it's new so maybe they'll get the hang of it (no pun intended!).

    My wife (Won-ok) and I had a surprisingly good time at the Museum of Illusions a few weeks ago…read more I've got to admit: It was not a place I would have ever cared to see. I've always been bad at math and science, and I've never had much use for illusions. I thought the museum was about magic tricks or something, but, fortunately, I was wrong. I'm so glad we checked this place out. The highlight of the day was the photo opp at the "Illusion Street Station" of the NY subway system. A very kind and enthusiastic staffer named Julie encouraged us to experience that exhibit, and even took awesome photos for us that are absolutely going up on our walls. She also explained the basic of what we were looking at, and kept it in simple terms so a math/science-challenged guy like me could understand. I learned a few cool nuggets on those subjects but that was all I could absorb. That doesn't matter, though, because the museum achieved its objective with me -- sparking curiosity and a desire to learn more about the subjects it covers. Won-ok loved it, by the way, because she is all about the world of illusions. If you're looking for a completely unexpected treat in New York, stop by the Museum of Illusions -- unless it's not really there.

    Came here today with my family, to see what the hype is about. The building gave me the impression…read moreim about to have fun. Once I walked in, we got checked in & paid $90 for 3ppl. I like i better get my money worth. Once I got in, i was like this place is mad trash. It was small asf, I literally scan the place & i was done in 10mins. I like wtf is this, like thats it. I was bored & ready to go. Its cool for small kids, but for us adults not the business. FYI, yah hype it up on IG, & not living up to the hype. Overpriced & not worth it. ILL NOT COME BACK HERE EVER AGAIN.!!!!
