Thoughts on Mos Def’s “The Ecstatic”
May 14, 2010 – 12:03 pm
It’s been almost a year since Mos Def released his latest solo album “The Ecstatic” – a year in which a lot of other records have hit the market. Twelve months in which many new artists have appeared on the scene. 365 days in which the music industry has gone further down the drain. But unlike [...]
4 x 4
May 14, 2010 – 10:33 am
The Paul Kopeikin Gallery is showing “4 x 4,” an exhibit of photographs by Alison Brady, Mandy Corrado, David Schoerner and Martynka Wawrzyniak, through June 5. “I would have to say all the work is based on the idea of the unconventional portrait,” Alison Brady said. “My work questions the state of normality.

May 13, 2010 – 10:53 am
Still lifes are, perhaps, not the first things that come to mind when hearing the name Roy Lichtenstein, but after viewing last Saturday’s opening at Gagosian gallery, there’s no question that the pop artist could paint fruit bowls and vases with the best of them.

I was struck by a voice-over that seemed to represent [...]
Richard Prince’s Tiffany Paintings
May 12, 2010 – 1:09 pm
Gagosian’s uptown gallery was quite a motley scene last Friday evening, as an unorthodox assortment of art enthusiasts gathered to toast and, of course, view Richard Prince’s latest exhibition, The Tiffany Paintings. A veritable social experiment: well-to-do Park Avenue types not-so-subtly investigated downtown fixtures like Max Snow while sipping wine in the back courtyard. Marc [...]
Tempelhof Airport
May 12, 2010 – 11:40 am
On the May 8, 2010, for the first time in 80 years, the area of the now closed Tempelhof Airport was opened to the public. The city of Berlin chose the slogan “Bewegungsfreiheit” (freedom to move) for the ceremonial two day opening event, but already during the opening speech of mayor Klaus Wowereit it became [...]
