Fashion’s Night Out NYC 2012: A Chic Guide to September 6
First off–before getting into Fashion's Night Out 2012–you should know that, personally, we're not terribly fashionable, nor do we do a lot of shopping, nor know the difference between this designer bag and that designer shoe. There's nothing wrong with any of the above, it's just generally not a part of our lives. And yet, […]
Tatzu Nishi Brings Public Art to Columbus Circle in NYC
How many times have you been to (or, more likely, speedily passed through) Columbus Circle in NYC without even for a second looking up at the 13-foot-tall statue of the explorer that gives the place its name. Hundreds? Thousands? Well, Japanese artist Tatzu Nishi is about to change all that with his slightly bonkers but […]
Whole Foods NYC Opens its Midtown East Location on 57th Street
Residents of Glenwood's luxury rental apartment buildings, The Bristol and The Bamford: your life just got a whole lot easier. At least, the food-shopping part of your life. That's because Whole Foods Market in NYC has their newest location on 57th Street between Third and Second Avenues, in the also new 1.5-acre mixed-use "campus" that will soon be […]
Janet Cardiff and George Bures Miller: Murder of Crows, Park Avenue Armory
Here are the physical items that make up Janet Cardiff and George Bures Miller's Murder of Crows, an extraordinary audio installation now on "view" at the cavernous Park Avenue Armory: 98 speakers, 21 amplifiers, miscellaneous media, electronics, 1 computer, 1 desk, 1 horn speaker, 55 chairs. Seems kind of spare, right? Especially for that gigantic […]
Century of the Child: Growing By Design, 1900 – 2000 at the MoMA
It's not news that, over the course of the 20th Century, the whole concept of "childhood" went from being virtually non-existent to becoming culturally all-consuming. Kids began the 1900s treated as tiny adults–working long hours, no special rights or privileges–and a hundred years later they're hovered over, even worshiped, by parents in particular, and by […]
Rineke Dijkstra: A Retrospective at the Guggenheim
Rineke Dijkstra, the Dutch photographer whose excellent, at times deeply affecting (and at other times more than a little amusing) retrospective is currently on view at the Guggenheim Museum NYC, was once asked why she so often uses teenagers as the subjects of her work. Dijkstra explained that since they "they have no defined image […]
The Post-Olympic City Art Exhibit by Gary Hustwit and Jon Pack
The Olympics are, obviously, totally front-of-mind right this second, both because of all of glory, etc., going on in London and, more hypothetically, because of our frequent imaginings of what might have been, had New York City been awarded these games. Would it have been good for the city? Would it have been fun for […]
The Department of Transportation’s NYC Summer Streets 2012
Frankly, we wish every Saturday could be an NYC Summer Streets Saturday, with the city’s great boulevards closed to vehicular traffic, and wide open for strolling and cycling and skating and whatever else you’d like to to do in the middle of Park Avenue New York and/or Lafayette Street New York. BUT, with that said, […]
The Best New York City Classes for Kids and Parents
We're always trying to find that balance, as parents here in New York City, between making sure our children take full advantage of everything this great town has to offer, exposing them to new and different things because, who knows, they might find their life's great passion (or, at least, have some fun!), but also […]
Yayoi Kusama Art Now at The Whitney Museum of American Art
We were definitely late to the Yayoi Kusama party, only having "discovered" this deeply troubled, deeply talented artist in 2006, at an exhibition at Robert Miller in Chelsea (which, by the way, is why we love strolling through the Chelsea gallery district, because you never know what you might find behind the next frosted-glass door). […]
