Tara Donovan Stunners at Two Chelsea Pace Galleries in NYC
Tara Donovan has been one of our favorite contemporary artists since the early aughts, when pictures of her beautiful, crazily intricate, bio-organic-looking installations started popping up on the internet: walls made from clear drinking straws that seemed more coral than plastic; menacing hive-like hangings assembled from styrofoam cups and hot glue; bouquets of scotch tape, […]
The Best of the 2011 Art Fairs NYC, COMING THIS WEEKEND
Starting (in some cases) this Thursday, March 3, and running through the weekend, the world's leading art galleries and dealers will be taking over at least a half dozen locations in Chelsea and the Flatiron and Midtown for NYC's increasingly huge, sometimes overwhelming, always not-to-be-missed Art Fair Weekend. We love this annual celebration of both "modern" (read: 20th Century) […]
The Royal Shakespeare Company at the Park Avenue Armory in NYC: TICKETS STILL AVAILABLE
We can't help but be a little too excited about this. As you've probably heard, London's world-renowned Royal Shakespeare Company is coming to New York City this summer, performing five plays–As You Like It, Romeo and Juliet, King Lear, Julius Caesar (NOT Antony and Cleopatra, as originally scheduled), and The Winter's Tale–during an historic six-week residency […]
David Hammons at L&M Arts on the Upper East Side, FINAL WEEK
About five years ago the New York City artist David Hammons put on one of our all-time favorite gallery exhibitions, called Body Prints, at Tilton on 76th Street. He also contributed several sculptural pieces to the remarkable L.A. Object group show just upstairs. It was all powerful stuff, highly charged and urban and political, informed […]
Asphalt Green: NYC’s Premier Sports and Fitness Club SPECIAL OFFER for Glenwood Residents Only!
It's one of the great perks of Gracie Point/Upper East Side living, the easy access we have to the world-class sports, training, and fitness facilities at Asphalt Green. Seriously: with its playing fields, ball courts, gyms, 50-meter Olympic standard pool AND warm-water exercise pool, all spread out rather luxuriously across a well-maintained, five-and-a-half acre campus, Asphalt Green in […]
Christian Marclay: The Clock at Paula Cooper in Chelsea
Christian Marclay's 24-hour film The Clock, playing for just another week or so at the Paula Cooper Gallery in Chelsea, is, without a doubt, the most totally brilliant things we've seen in years. Funny and engaging, consistently surprising and creative, technically flawless, Marclay's The Clock takes a wonderfully simple idea–create a montage of clips from, literally, thousands of […]
The Museum of the Moving Image in Astoria: Expanded, Updated, Redesigned, Reopened
After two mostly shuttered years, $67 million, an expansion in size to some 100,000 square feet, and lots of discussion about what, exactly, should be the mission of the institution as a whole, The Museum of the Moving Image in Astoria finally reopened its newly gleaming doors about a week ago. And, after a couple […]
Chelsea Gallery Art: Nathan Harger at Hasted Kraeutler
Pickings were a little slim as we strolled through Chelsea art galleries last weekend, as they often are this time of year. The big crowd-pleasing shows of the holiday season were mostly gone (though Brice Marden is still up at Matthew Marks, and will be through the 22nd), and many galleries were either in "Closed […]
Bryant Park Movies: Outdoor Film Fun Starts THIS WEEKEND
Our by-now favorite New York City ice skating rink, the pretty (and free! sort of…*) Citi Pond at Bryant Park is still open for another month or so, until February 27, so if you haven't gone gliding around the oval yet–the towers of midtown creating a cozy, canyon-esque feel to the proceedings; the grand, […]
Open House Gallery in NYC Presents Park Here: A Temporary Indoor Park in Nolita
Ok, it sounds kind of cheesy, but this place is actually pretty amazing. Park Here, on Mulberry Street in Nolita, is what might be this town's first-ever pop-up park, a meandering, temporary greenspace that somehow manages to warm and comfort and relax even though the entire thing–the trees, the grass, the bushes, the birds […]
