A Look at Frieze New York
May 10, 2012 – 1:57 pm
London’s perennially popular Frieze Art Fair descended on New York City for the first time last week with a roar, bringing with it Frieze’s famous custom-designed tent (this iteration designed by Brooklyn-based SO-IL), and unique programming around the fair’s temporary home on Randall’s Island. The Frieze Art Fair, organized by the inimitable duo Amanda Sharp [...]
Grand Rapids, New York
May 3, 2012 – 1:17 am
When I heard that our friend Alex Niemetz’s band was scheduled to drop a video for their single, I was stoked. Just in time for summer and pizza, Grand Rapids are a young, downtown New York-based country-garage band, and watching this today reminded me that, “yes, I do like rock and roll.” The band formed in 2009 and [...]
Sarah Girner
March 29, 2012 – 1:06 pm
In getting to know a person, separating them from their art becomes more and more challenging. So it is with a certain biased pleasure that I ask the German-American photographer Sarah Girner about the creative geyser from which her images spring. We are at a table at a Vietnamese place in New York City’s Chinatown. [...]
WhaiWhai: The Pegleg
September 28, 2011 – 11:04 am
When I was in grade school, New York City was heralded as the world’s “melting pot,” an anthropomorphic melding of cultures. Today, word is that teachers have moved onto a “salad” analogy, arguing that while the various human ingredients harmoniously mix and mingle, they retain their separate identities. Whichever school you subscribe to, one of [...]

The Holidays à la Saint Patrick’s
December 22, 2010 – 12:37 pm
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 [...]

Phoebe and Annette Stephens, the sisters behind jewelry line Anndra Neen, share an admiration for Japanese fashion, a creative pedigree and a propensity for thinking outside the box.

Os Gemeos: Bem-vindo Back to NYC!
August 8, 2010 – 11:28 am
They’re baaaack. Brazilian graffiti artists Os Gemeos climbed aboard two 80-foot cherry pickers on Friday to begin painting a massive yellow man similar to those they’ve created in Sao Paulo, Berlin and London. This particular giant will watch over the playground of P.S. 11 in Chelsea from the school’s west-facing wall. In Jeffrey Deitch’s absence, [...]
