The Invisible Dog Gallery

I went to a CD release party for the guitar quartet called Dither a few weeks ago. Dither is emulating the Bang on a Can mission by producing casual concerts of new music in unique settings. Indeed, they are the group that graced the program cover for the recent Bang on a Can Marathon. The [...]

Otterness Hit Again By 14th St Passersby

I’ll have a gigantic winter tree series up soon. In the meantime, here’s a conceptual piece from the 14th Street subway station and the Life Underground series. I posted a few photos from here before. It’s funny how sometimes people post this stuff and just say “crazy.”

Thanksgiving Jozz

I am thankful for a year of mostly no work and having a lot of time to think and read and watch movies, but now I really need some work. My health is great thanks to a mostly vegan diet. I very much enjoyed the PeTA ad that got rejected by NBC. The heavy-handedness is [...]

Dia:Beacon Benches

A photo series. I was up there earlier today and had a blast.

Fall Colors

I really like this photo. Even though the composition is completely split in half, both halves are satisfying and normally, you’d see the top half with a sunset over it. Hmmm. I got booked to DJ a party at SiP for a bunch of jazz musicians this Saturday night. DJing for musicians is sort of [...]

I Spy. What Do You Spy?

Sometimes I am here to make sure my blog hasn’t been compromised and then realize: well, I should publish something since my blog is fine and I am now logged in. Posting something will help me sleep. The twitter thing below will fill you in on the rest of tonight. Look over there. People are [...]

Spieling Around a Dry Fountain; Alice Tully Hall

At Lincoln Center yesterday, there was a graduation ceremony for Juilliard students. I found it odd they couldn’t turn the fountain on as part of the festivities — all those snapshots of parents and new graduates in their fine clothes and lint-free graduation gowns made lacklustre by some cost-cutting bureaucrat. The refurbishing of Alice Tully [...]

Salvador Dalí Was a Rodeo

“One day I climbed up as fast as I could to the olive grove where I had carried out all these experiments, but I had brought neither my liquid machine gun nor the live rhinoceros that I would have liked for the prints, nor even some half-dead octopus. It was the only time when, as [...]

Architecture for F*ck’s Sake

The Chanel Mobile Art thing in Central Park deserves the Cool Prize. (How many Obama trucks are cruising the streets of Manhattan today?)

A Blast from the Cabinets

The Brothers Quay remind me somehow: always be blogging. I saw a series of BQ movies around the time they came out and they had a profound influence on me. I feel funny recommending them to people for fear they won’t get it. Their films felt out of place in the 80s and today I [...]

Playing with Buildings and Armory Shows

Stairs, shadows at SFMOMA One of the must-do fun things to do in NYC this summer is visit the Battery Maritime Building where David Byrne has installed an organ that plays the different pieces of an old building. New York Times has a write up with video today. This reminded me of an episode: My [...]

Survival of the Crunchiest

SFMOMA catwalk installation by Olafur Eliasson Judging from other photos I’ve seen of this catwalk with nothing on it, Eliasson accomplished something unexpected in removing all sense of vertigo I usually feel when traipsing around in high places. I’ll have to see his show at P.S. 1. I had a nice birthday yesterday. I have [...]
