‘Make Me Your Makebish’

May 17, 2013

He dares you: For all the world’s a hand-held mirror, and all the men and women merely arrivistes–like cicadas–in the life-challenging canvas of gallerist Peter Makebish. Sit for him (clothing optional)… “The tree sloth. Where…in…Madagascar…is that TREE SLOTH? And those tranny hula … Read More

The Boys of Summer

May 17, 2013

Kodachrome moments in the ‘Fire Island Pines,’ circa 1975-1983 Even if you aren’t a “boy of summer,” you might pine for more decadent times after paging through Tom Bianchi’s new “Fire Island Pines. Polaroids 1975-1983” (Damiani, 212 pgs.). With an … Read More

Anatomy of the Cremaster

May 17, 2013

Matthew Barney does the Morgan Library (really?) Amid the art-world big top pin-wheeling through the month–double Koons shows, FRIEZE-alooza, etcetera–the most unlikely of artist to keep it on the down-low is the typically-exhibitionistic Matthew Barney, showing his mesmerizing drawings at … Read More

Punk Gets the Glam Treatment

May 3, 2013

The MET’s Costume Institute saves the Queen…again. Opening May 9th (through the snoozy museum dog-days of August 14th) is the Met’s “PUNK: Chaos to Couture,” and we surmise they figured: “If it worked with glam-rock style?” Roll out all those … Read More

Opening of the Week

May 3, 2013

John Newsom’s ‘Bestiary’: Into the Great Wide Open If captivating escapism from the neurotic concrete jungle is what you need, hit the first solo exhibition in seven years of John Newsom–the Rooster Cogburn of seize-the-day-and-molest-the-canvas oil painters–at the Marc Straus … Read More

Gargoyle’s, Take Cover!

May 3, 2013

Jane Alexander’s half-human, half-beasts are creatures to behold. Now bow! We mentioned John Newsom’s “Bestiary” as a great mother-of-nature exhibition to check out this week, but an altogether different menagerie can be found at the Cathedral Church of St. John … Read More

Luxe Life

April 19, 2013

April 5, 2013

The de-lovely DeNiro-founded hoo-hah is coming round the bend. Hollywood East lands hard in downtown’s most fashionable zip code, from April 17th-28th, when the TriBeCa Film Festival premieres. Seats are flying out of the theaters and private screening rooms and … Read More

Bistro of the Week

March 22, 2013

The tony Clarkson transports us to the days of the big game hunters (and the joint breathes)! Manhattan is starting to ride again as the gastronaut-and-nightlife Mecca you always hear about, and then go…feh. And it’s evident in the opening … Read More

Don’t Call It Dixieland

March 8, 2013

The Preservation Hall Jazz Band plays New York’s McKittrick. And, no noodlers, they, they rock the house. There is a misunderstanding that this legendary New Orleans band is somehow quaint or anachronistic. Note to music purists: This isn’t your grandfather’s … Read More
