Bunny Rogers and Filip Olszewski were very particular about the color of the twin-size vladmodels.ru, Ukranian Nymphets and H.M.M. H.M.M. H.M.M. H.M.M. twin-size blankets. They wanted each in the exact shade of the average pixel color of a source image — each a watermarked photo of suspect-sounding child-modeling agency site. The seamstresses had to embroider the sites’ satiny logos exactly. […]
Last week, iCNN “reported” that the Gagosian Gallery is going to exhibit the work of former president George W. Bush. The dogs. The naked bathroom lamentations. Etc. While the internet murmured with displeasure and incredulity, we reassured you that it wasn’t really happening. Looks like the Great Gagosian Trollage of 2013 isn’t over, for a Facebook page for […]
On Saturday, the Red Hook Criterium returns to the streets of Brooklyn for its sixth year. Once an unsanctioned bike fixed-gear bike race akin to the spirit of messenger-style alley cats, it now has a sponsor: Rockstar Games. The notorious video game company that’s known for creating bleeding edge titles such as Grand Theft Auto, […]
You never get to see the bottoms of skateboards, so we asked these skaters around Chelsea Piers and Times Square to flip their boards over. Check out the stickers, the tags, the scratches and the gashes that tell a story. Shred. Check back every Friday for a new photo essay. See the photos in the gallery […]

“We lived together. I wouldn’t really call him my boyfriend. We did have relations but I don’t think that time was about girlfriends and boyfriends. We had multiple girlfriends and boyfriends. Sorry!” Alexis Adler is laughing. Yesterday, ArtInfo reported that Jean-Michel Basquiat’s “ex-girlfriend” had been hiding a trove of previously-unseen artifacts for thirty years in the apartment […]
Each week in Sample Wars, we’ll pit two songs which sample the same source material head-to-head against each other, to determine which one rocked the sample better. As you may have heard, Harmony Korine’s Spring Breakers dropped this month. As a tribute to the sartorial inspiration for James Franco’s Alien, we’re deconstructing one of RiFF RAFF’s best love […]
Earlier this morning, NME published an article about Nick Cave’s Heard NY performance in Grand Central’s Vanderbilt Hall. Cool. Only it’s the wrong Nick Cave. Some of us may have predicted this mix-up but it’s still pretty amusing because NME is NME. So to clarify, there are two men named Nick Cave — a recording artist and an “artist” artist. Nick […]
