Christine Coulson | Writer

What happens in museum when the crowds have gone?

Christine Coulson's exquisite book, Metropolitan Stories, imagines the inner lives of the artworks and precious objects that tell us so much about the past, the present but also our human future, while enduring stoically the millions of museum visitors' inquisitive, appreciative or indifferent gazes.

Christine was a senior writer at the Metropolitan Museum where she worked for over 25 years. Christine’s book is a love letter to the greatest temple to art in the United States, and an invitation for all of us to look again at the Metropolitan Museum, especially during the pandemic when museums had to remain closed for many dark months.

—————————

“The Met Fifth Avenue will reopen on August 29 for visitors and August 27 and 28 for Members. The Met Cloisters is scheduled to reopen on September 12. Your health and safety are our top priorities. Please be assured that The Met is following guidelines issued by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), New York State, and New York City for increased health and safety procedures.”

Anna Condo | Artist

Anna Condo is a French director and photographer, born in Armenia, living in New York. She began an acting career, then in 1988 turned to photography. In 1989, Anna moved to the United States and worked on many projects. She started writing and making movies. During this period, Anna continued to take photographs and collaborated with many artists.

In 1998, She published her first book “AH Allen,” a powerful tribute to her friend and poet Allen Ginsberg. Since 2013, Anna has been focusing on flower photography. Is it a snub to this society that is constantly reinventing the rules? Or simply the observation that the real is elsewhere? Some view the flower as naive. Anna’s works prove the opposite. These images that can be compared to portraits, impose respect. Indeed here the flower is no longer fragile. She is strong, sometimes arrogant. She symbolizes this nature that only bends to the elements. A real break in the world in which we live in. The flower is a lady first and foremost. A feminist before its time. A broth of culture, stories, and emotions. P. Achdijan (“The storm revives flowers” C. Baudelaire).
