I met Jamie Iacoli and Brian McAllister last year during ArtBasel Miami at Tap Tap, a very cool Haitian restaurant. They are the only people I have ever started a conversation with during a closely seated dinner (or actually, Jamie started talking to us) and then gone out bowling with afterwards.

In July 1956, the Barstow family of Wethersfield, Connecticut, won a contest sponsored by Scotch tape which awarded them a vacation to the newly-opened Disneyland in California. The 30-minute amateur documentary, Disneyland Dream, was filmed on that trip by Robbins Barstow (the family father), with narration recorded forty years later. It tells the story of [...]

Poet and performance artist John Giorno is many things to many people. It depends on who you talk to. To some, he’s simply lost in translation. The author of Suicide Sutra and Thanks for Nothing is fatalistic, shockingly blunt, incendiary, controversial, and pornographic – according to his critics. His defenders claim the iconic figure in [...]

St. Pat’s, in all its Neo-Gothic grandeur, is arguably one of New York City’s most treasured ornaments. It’s crowded every day of the year, teeming with flash-happy sightseers and humble churchgoers alike. There are candles to be lit, stations to be visited and crypts to be toured. Rarely are the pews full, except for on [...]

Photographers Mark Arbeit, George Holz and Just Loomis first met Helmut Newton in 1979 while students at the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, California.

Living in New York for the last fourteen years, I have amassed a really wonderful group of smart, talented, and supportive female friends. Unfortunately, our varied professions and scattered personal lives make it difficult to get together (as a group) on a regular basis. In fact, I think we talk about it more over emails, [...]

The Overexposure portrait series, shot during Art Basel, is photographer Greg Kessler’s reaction to the hype and frenzy that the festival is bathed in, but not necessarily in a bad way.
