AI WEIWEI IN NEW YORK

Friday, July 29, 2011

Oh, the speed of the internet. A condition of Ai Weiwei’s recent release from Chinese custody was his silence on Twitter and the blogs, but the Chinese government said nothing about this new Google+ (at least for now). Seemingly in conjunction with a wonderful new show just opened at the Asia Society Museum  in New [...]

Store of the Month (US Edition): Karma and Mast

Friday, May 6, 2011

Ok, two stores, both used. New York really doesn’t lack for wonderful art/book/stores, but Karma, recently opened in the West Village, is a great addition. Essentially a physical manifestation of my ideal Abebooks order history, Karma stocks used art books, posters, records, and other “stuff’.” On my first venture through, I stumbled on Patrick Cariou’s [...]

80 Blocks From Tiffany’s – NYC 1979

Tuesday, March 22, 2011

Back in the days, an excursion to the early urban gang.

My favorite moments at exhibitions are those little clicks that go off inside you, those giddy shudders that come when an artist or work hits just the right conceptual or formal groove. I had one looking at Jack Goldstein’s The Pull in The Pictures Generation; it hit me seeing when I first encountered the Provoke photographers [...]

MOTTO BROOKLYN

Friday, November 12, 2010

Straight after the New York Art Book Fair, our friends at Motto just moved a little further up to open their temporary store in Brooklyn, with a rare selection of European and non-European goodies. An absolute must if you’re craving for more art books and magazine and other weird printed matter. Or interesting talks about [...]
