MISSION

I am a New Yorker who by a universal mistake was born in Russia and had to cross continent and then traverse US
to finally find a city with a heartbeat that matched mine.
No other city embraced me. In Moscow I was too outspoken, in Miami too fast, in Chicago too daring.
New York City gave me life.
Its heart and spirit will be forever young as its blood is
always renewed with fresh talent. Dreamers and critics, romantics and seekers, performers and transformers from all over the world strive to make a mark in NYC. Creative renewal is in the air we breathe and every generation of New Yorkers has its own art, nightlife, and social scenes that evolve continuously. Keeping up with all events that are shaping this city is a challenge, but I will try to bring you the fascinating, the beautiful and the outrageous in New York City nightlife with an emphasis on underground electronic music scene which happens to be my favorite fantasy land.
Expect the unexpected

Art Imitates Life

Serge Strosberg is unique and his work focuses intently on character study. His paintings are a window into a life of a soul. Provocative, tender and honest at the same time, in his paintings you'll find beauty mixed with insecurity, strength stemming from weakness, fragility of trust, lust intertwined with love. All of complexities of this beautiful journey called life equally mixed with tragedy and triumph.
His latest opening: Les Demoiselles de New York, a body of work depicting transgendered people drew cream of the crop on NYC movers and shakers. Patrick McDonald, Kenny Kenny, Stacy Engman, Malcolm Harris, Jordan Fox, Michael Solomon and many others I did not have a chance to meet were all on hand to support and celebrate the artist and his creative vision. If you don't know any of these names please take your time to google them (include MySpace into search to get the best results), they are fascinating because of their audacity to be true to themselves and in the process an inspiration to others. Real, strong, beautiful and above all authentic; perhaps they will inspire you to create your own work of art that you in turn will share with the rest of the world just like Mr. Strosberg. Visit http://www.strosbergserge.com/index.html and you can commission your own portrait if you so desire... after all who wouldn't want to be a "muse" at least once in their lifetime?
