In Chelsea I visited the Andrea Mesin Gallery. When I first step in the building it was like i step foot in like a twilight zone. The main entry hallway was small, there were no one to assist me and the building was hot. There were no doors around besides the exit door and the elevator door, which by the way looked like one of those old elevator doors that you would see in old horror movies or in The Haunting Mansion in Disney world. Anyway when the elevator did open there was a bellhop that guided me to the level that the gallery was on. The Andrea Merin Gallery was displaying work done by an artist named Amy Simon and the name of the Exhibition was called, "a different STATE of mind". Merin's work through the exhibition varied in sizes from 47.5 x 31.5 photographs, to 15.75 x 15.75 color pencil drawings, to a wallpaper image covering the whole front wall. Simons work seems to display some sort of narrative or a time within a certain location from the photographs taken by her. Some of the color pencil drawings and the wallpaper images are just a copy of her photographs shown in different sizes.

I like the way how the room was displayed for this exhibition. The photographs where hung on the side walls of the two aisle. In the middle of the gallery there was a giant wall that had a wallpaper drawing of one of the photographs that was done by Merins on the front, and behind of the wall was the 15.75 x 15.75 drawings, some of which were a copy of Merin photograph.
