It’s hard to imagine Times Square before it became the Disneyfied, Toys-R-Us-bag-toting-tourist-and-kiddie-infested postcard of Capitalist America that we hate so dearly today. Luckily, we’ve come across the photo collection of Gregoire Alessandrini to remind us that those days were more than just folklore. While attending a local film school in the mid-90’s, Alessandrini always carried […]
These are the people that make sure you get to work, safe and relatively on time. It was difficult to snap their portraits, as you may imagine, but I set up a stake-out around the Grand Central and Times Square stops this morning to bring you these photos of subway train conductors. Stand clear of […]
“I’m a little tired,” Tima Radya tells me, smiling. The soft-spoken street artist was up until 3am the night before CutLog New York’s inaugural press opening last night. He was stacking, climbing, stacking his recreation of Stability Figure 1 — a giant pyramid of cards. The cards are riot shields. This is the anonymous Yekaterinburg street artist’s […]
British television series “Secret Life Of…” has commissioned a group of digital artists and researchers to imagine what historical figures would look if they were alive today. The results are more or less on point. By applying contemporary trends to what historians know about these icons, the team rendered up portraits of Shakespeare, Henry VIII, […]
Andres Serrano rehashed controversy with the NY showing of his classic Piss Christ last September, and now the artist has moved onto something slightly more mainstream. The Belgian road safety organization Parents of Road Victims, in collaboration with Happiness Brussels, has given him the creative reigns for their latest anti-texting-and-driving campaign. Serrano’s response: Three dramatic, macabre photo […]
“Misunderstanding Focus” is a very clean series of portraits from Japanese collaborators Hiiroshi Manaka and Yoshiharu Ota, aka Nerhol. Nerhol shot continuous photographs of each subject for three minutes, instructing them to stay as still as you can but they can’t. They fucked up. They moved, a little bit. The slightly different portraits were then cut and stacked in a […]
Since 2005, Brooklyn-based photographer Jeremy Harris has been exploring the eerie, fascinating world of deserted mental hospitals for his photo project, “The Architecture of Abandoned American Asylums.” Harris’ depiction of the oppressive, box-like structures of these supposedly therapeutic institutions is just as mesmerizing as his shots of the personal (and impersonal) possessions left behind by the patients — […]
For After Hours 2’s “Murals on the Bowery” project, several artists transformed security gates into… security gates with art on them. A few have already been bombed. Here are some of those gates on the Bowery, from Houston Street to Grand Street. Check back every Friday for a new photo essay. See the photos in […]
Along with their relocation to the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, it’s being reported that the New York Islanders are considering a spiffy new look, which is apropos for a hockey team moving from homogenous Long Island to NYC. So, we enlisted ANIMAL ally and graphic design expert Michael Weinfeld to whip up a few different […]
Sotheby’s Inc. posted a Craigslist ad for “a Skilled and dedicated Administrative Assistant” last night and failed. Indeed they do need an administrative assistant, because this one doesn’t know how to ctrl+c ctrl +v. The post contains an entire gchat conversation of Employee 1 attempting to instruct Employee 2 on how to copy and paste text into a document. […]
