Cooper Hewitt Museum’s National Design Triennial 2010
Since its inception in 2000, the Cooper-Hewitt Museum’s National Design Triennial has attempted to do what, these days, is probably impossible: to find and assemble “the most innovative designs at the center of contemporary culture” from the previous three years. Impossible because the task is too huge, especially since the National Design Triennial rightly encompasses […]
Midoma Salon Moves to Emerald Green Territory
File under: One neighborhood’s loss is another one’s gain. When the much-loved hair salon/high-end boutique/art gallery Midoma Salon needed to up its Upper East Side roots this winter, its relocation to the Fashion District–more specifically, to Eighth Avenue between 38th and 37th Streets–may have surprised those who haven’t been paying attention to that neighborhood’s recent […]
Key to the City: A New Creative Time Project by Paul Ramirez Jonas
Those New York City public-art wizards at Creative Time have done it again. Ever since the early 1970s, this excellent art collective has been commissioning, curating and creating innovative, interactive projects that use our beautiful city not only as an ideal backdrop, but also as an integral part of the pieces. Creative Time's newest and […]
Luna Park in Coney Island
It took a couple of weeks of round the-clock scrambling by construction crews, but as promised by everyone from the Mayor of down, the famously-named Luna Park in Coney Island did in fact open its gates to the public the past Memorial Day weekend. True, several of the "big" rides hadn't yet been officially cleared–and […]
Picasso: Themes and Variations at the MoMA
It's hard to believe that anything involving Picasso that could actually be under-hyped in this town, but the current Picasso: Themes and Variations exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art, which we thoroughly enjoyed for lots of different reasons, seems to have slipped under the radar a bit. Maybe it's just the distraction of […]
Lincoln Center NYC: The Rooftop Illumination Lawn
We admit it: we were skeptical about the Lincoln Center NYC's new "Illumination Lawn." Not that we have any problem with contemporary tweaks and upgrades of even the most iconic of New York City landmarks. We're fans of Lincoln Center's new "choreographed" central fountain, for example, and, as has been observed many times before, […]
Antony Gormley: Event Horizon in Madison Square Park
Antony Gormley’s Event Horizon, on display now through the middle of August in and around the excellent Madison Square Park, is one of our favorite public art projects of the last few years. Gormley’s concept here is simple: take 31 life-size body-form statues of his (naked) self, cast in iron and fiberglass, and place […]
Deluxx Fluxx NYC: Faile and Bast
Street art is definitely having a NYC moment. First there was Shepard Fairey's takeover of downtown Manhattan, from his massive Houston Street mural and several other major "rogue" pieces, to his packing-them-in show at Deitch, the final exhibition ever at that pioneering gallery before its namesake owner flees the city for the west coast, […]
The Limelight Marketplace NYC
The jokes are easy, the irony almost too obvious to even mention: the Limelight, one of New York City’s most iconic, most deliriously decadent, most flat-out fun nightclubs of the 1980s and into the ’90s, is now, basically, a mall. Where once the city’s most A-list-iest club kids danced and partied past dawn, suburban […]
The Alliance for Downtown New York & Glenwood Team up for Spring Community Planting Day
Last weekend the Glenwood Management team was thrilled to co-sponsor the Alliance For Downtown New York's Third Annual Spring Community Planting Day… and even more thrilled by the huge turnout of lower Manhattan residents who spent hours getting their hands dirty to help spruce up the no-longer-forlorn Wall Street Park. The weather […]
