Golf Wang
November 6, 2011 – 10:11 pm
Our friends at Family Bookstore are having an opening reception and book launch signing for the LA-based Rap group OFWGKA. Golf Wang features captured moments these friends have spent together and features work from Odd Future, Vyron Turner, Wolf Haley, Brick Stowell, Taco Bennett, Lucas Vercetti, Julian Berman and Sagan Lockhart. I imagine it should be an [...]
The Living Ruins of the Uranian Phalanstery
October 20, 2011 – 2:43 pm
The current vogue for “ruin porn” – the sensationalized and aestheticized images of dereliction and decay – was on our minds when Salome Oggenfuss and I visited the Uranian Phalanstery on a hot and humid day last September. Salome had heard from a colleague about two decrepit old interconnected brownstones on East 4th St, between [...]
Richard Phillips’ Point of Purchase
July 27, 2011 – 12:11 am
After the recent heat wave, one doesn’t need another reason to leave the city behind for the beach but just in case… It’s the last weekend to catch New York-based artist Richard Phillips’ Point of Purchase exhibition in East Hampton. As its name indicates its focus is the on commercial, highlighting Phillps’ retail and pop-culture [...]
104 Degrees and Counting
July 23, 2011 – 7:54 am
It was 104 degrees yesterday in Central Park with a heat index of 114. That’s two degrees shy of the record temperature ever for New York City. The heatwave is expected to continue through the weekend. I saw a lot of open fire hydrants yesterday, and read an article that talked about people just riding the [...]
Even Brighter Than The Moon Moon Moon

Fireworks are a funny thing. They celebrate and illuminate and gather people together on the streets and in fields and make them stare at the sky. I’m all for staring at the sky, and this year a week or so before the 4th, I had the idea to have people share with us their firework [...]
Les Toiles du Soleil x Cole Haan
June 8, 2011 – 1:57 pm
Last night at their boutique in Soho, Cole Haan celebrated their collaboration with textile masters Les Toiles du Soleil. The name of the 150-year-old factory from the Catalan part of France means “fabrics of the sun,” which given New York’s blistering weather was quite apropos. As far as the collection went, Les Toiles’ signature patterns [...]
In Conversation with Twin Shadow
June 6, 2011 – 8:01 am
Twin Shadow’s music has been christened many things: a resurrection of synth-laced 1980s tunes! Hazy new wave-tinged pop! Bedroom electro-disco! All of these revival features have garnered the band’s founder George Lewis Jr. enough cred to earn him the moniker the “black Morrissey,” and not without merit. His songs have wonderfully danceable beats, yet the [...]
Heavy Rays
May 28, 2011 – 7:03 pm
Its happy space out time. Take a 15 minute trip into unknown landscapes and structures with our friend and Dossier collaborator Josh Slater. So sit back, relax, and strap on your seatbelt. You’ve never been on a ride like this before, with a producer who can rap and control the maestro. Original score by Sahra Motalebi.
