What are you doing this weekend? It’s the last week of the IFC Center’s Studio Ghibli series. If you’re not familiar with the Japanese animation powerhouse, it is famous for its whimsical and magical films such as Spirited Away, Howl’s Moving Castle and My Neighbor Totoro, which won heaps of praise from Roger Ebert. We at Squeaky love to celebrate the diversity of our team, and jump on cultural opportunities like this when they pop up in New York City. So go, buy your tickets, and make sure to get there early (the theaters fill up very quickly).
The Good Life and the Milk Gallery here in New York City are celebrating renowned artist—and our good friend—Ricky Powell along with other artists in Powell’s talent group (The Rickford Institute) with an exhibition displaying classic photography from Powell and others.
This city never sleeps because there is always something to do. Not only that, but most of the time—if you keep your eyes open—you can do it without breaking the bank.
If you don’t have plans this labor day weekend you should check out some of the great museums New York City has to offer. Specifically, we’d recommend visiting the Marking Infinity exhibit at the Guggenheim which showcases the work of Lee Ufan.
Born in Korea in 1936, Ufan is credited with contributing to the development of contemporary art in Japan and his work is featured in museums all over the globe including Belgium, France, Japan and Korea. This exhibit marks his first North American retrospective and is definitely a must-see while it’s around.
So if you don’t have plans this weekend, head to the Guggenheim and witness this amazing collection of paintings and sculptures. And remember that if you go on Saturday, you pay what you wish (it’s normally $18).
War has erupted in France…a Post-it® war that is. Its origins can be traced back to Ubisoft’s office and a bank across the street (BNP) in Montreuil. Ubisoft began by creating a few characters from the classic game Space Invaders and BNP quickly retaliated with an image of the laser canon from the same game.
If you’ve ever been to the Squeaky loft, you’d know by our abundance of artwork that we are big advocates of art and culture. We believe that culture fuels innovation and we love that our city is filled with exciting art-filled events such as FIGMENT.
We are digital enthusiasts with an affinity for art, culture and everything in between. Occasionally we see things we like, work that wows us and ideas we wish we came up with. Here’s the beef.
