[Running around NY]
Recently, I've been doing coordination for magazines.
In the sweltering heat
I was covering all over New York.
Several magazines with beautiful photos are scheduled to be published in Japan in the fall and winter.
Please look forward to it.
I was once involved in overseeing a famous New York guidebook.
The rapidly changing New York
Stores and trends change rapidly in just one year.
There was no Google Maps
I walked all over Manhattan and made a map.
In those days, there were still very few stores with websites.
Calling door to door
Check if the number has changed, and also check opening hours and holidays directly
Also, Brooklyn before the current boom.
I introduced it to the core, focusing on my beloved DeKalb and Bed-Stuy.
Take photos with a digital camera instead of a smartphone
Write a sentence
New York, which I built with my own feet and eyes
It's still firmly embedded in my body.
I'm making the most of all of this experience as a New York coordinator (I'm sure haha)
Thank you
from now on
"NY with Kimiko was the best"
I will continue to work hard so that you can say this!
I will upload the photos and videos overflowing on my smartphone to Instagram.
Please follow @KimikoHarlem too!

Artists who are taking on the challenge in New York, the entertainment capital of the world,
This has been going on for a long time.
In recent times, borderless globalization is progressing more and more on the Internet, social media, YouTube, etc.

I hope that a Japanese artist who is well known in America will be born.
My expectations are rising.

<NYに世界最大のバンクシーミュージアムOPEN>
The mysterious street artist Banksy
Banksy Museum exhibits the world's largest collection of 160 pieces
Opening on May 15, 2024 in the Soho area of Manhattan, New York!
Speaking of Banksy,
Although based in the UK,
A mysterious artist who appears out of nowhere one day, suddenly leaving behind his works all over the world.
Expressing serious realities such as war and peace, social and political messages through humor and satire.
The message and the location of the painting,
There are pros and cons,
The work is
They have disappeared in conflict zones, or they have been erased without permission because they were drawn without permission, or they have been quickly removed without a trace for the purpose of resale...
All the works that were erased or removed
Several selected talented artists have created life-size replicas
It is being exhibited in New York, with a street atmosphere intact.
I think most of Banksy's works are viewed on small screens such as smartphone photos,
It's amazing that you can see everything here in life-size.
If you come to NY, this is a must see!
< Banksy Museum NYC >
277 Canal Street, New York, 10013
