Mischievous Nerd Didn’t Have Fun at Wired Store Party

Bucky Turco — Fri, 19 Nov 2010 15:30:33 +0000

Last night, Wired celebrated the opening of its sixth annual pop-up retail space in Manhattan. It was stocked with gadgets, artworky products, a lonely Buick, and most importantly, FREE drinks!

Spacebuster Blows Up New York

Will Sherman — Thu, 23 Apr 2009 16:00:15 +0000

Looking like an ET decontamination chamber, the Spacebuster is an inflatable events space, German-engineered by Raumlabor, that the Storefront for Art and Architecture brought to New York for 10 consecutive nights of dinners, talks and film screenings. Already the translucent bubble has opened up at Gansevoort Plaza in the Meatpacking District, the Goethe Institute in the East Village and the American Can Factory in Red Hook. Tonight, Spacebuster inflates at the recently reopened Manhattan Bridge archway in Dumbo for an Iron Chef-style design competition, followed by a few more events through Sunday.
