From Issue 94 — Food for Thought

Sitting in a coffee shop listening to a relative stranger tell her story, I was hooked. The story was the pivot of all pivots in a time when chaos ruled, and a virus had shut down life and seemingly hope… well not entirely. Everyone around the world suddenly reevaluating what their life’s purpose was, and then we cut to a family of three, a Uhaul and some hard decision to make in early March 2020. This is the story of a dream, upheaval, transition, and excellence in a period of a mere few months. Gives us pause for a little food for thought in this July edition of KARJAKA New York graced by the journey of Chef Jessica Masanotti.

Also featuring this rag tag crew as Kevin gets dirty with charcoal, Amanda grabs coffee, Kat messes with Met facades, Jeff illuminates in fashion verse, Alisha dumps the luggage, Craig talks LSD, and Nikki V drives it home with a playlist for your delectable delights. 

Dig in and satiate yourself with KARJAKA.

Talk Dirty to Me.

Aleksandr Karjaka -
You know you want to. Tell me your secrets. Confess, you visual sinner, you! Reservation be damned. Be vulnerable and open up for once in your artistic life. Let your guard down. This is you, your image we're talking about after all. We're moments away from the holiday hubbubbery and the calls are pouring in for booking. We're primed to purchase for the holidays, showing our love for one another, or God forbid, ourselves. So when you call to me, don't tell me you're looking for a beautiful photograph. Shut the door, close the curtains, take a deep breath and gimmie the gossip and news.

LETTER FROM THE EDITOR: The Curator

Aleksandr Karjaka -
Artists are always pushing the boundaries. Crossing lines, testing the edge, diving in head first with complete and utter disregard. It takes a bold mind to step out into the unknown. For us at KARJAKA we're always looking into new market places, and our July edition features an art haven that's quintessential New York, The Hamptons. Following the foot steps of Southampton's premier art curator Yubal Márquez Fleites, we feature a day in the life of the man who brings artists' works to the ultimate stage, and the magnificent artists who explore new ground and play their part with inspirational aplomb.
