Max Fish, a venerable dive bar on the Lower East Side that has operated continuously for over two decades, poured its final round of drinks last night. And this time it was for real. ANIMAL was on hand, with correspondent Julia Dawidowicz, to document the ceremonial closing and witness firsthand, that the patient was indeed […]
In addition to Marina Abramović’s Kickstarter created in hopes to fund the Marina Abramović Institute, the legendary performance artist has taken to the internet to answer questions from the public in the form of a Reddit AMA (“ask me anything”). The inquiries of supporters and critics seem to cover a broad spectrum of interests, from […]

ANIMAL’s feature Artist’s Notebook asks artists to show us their original “idea sketch” next to a finished piece. This week, Brooklyn artist Mike Perry shows us his visual ideas for making the sculpture Oozing Sandwich of Time, and a few other related sketchbook pages.
