No visit to SoHo is complete without a stop at Art in General. Its new commissions program offers fresh work by emerging artists who are normally off the beaten track, and hand-picked for their visions. This time they’ve lined up three ambitious projects. Collectively titled “Erratic Anthropologies,” they are “performance installations …that mine the visual culture of flawed but influential community structures.” In essence, the three projects are each ironic, comical...

Avant-Guide to NYC is a wonderful and thoughtfully curated exhibitions that is also quite hard to place. Not an historic survey, not a thematic group show per se, and not a typical geographically defined show, although it centers around New York City. It brings together work by mostly rising and mid-career (by loose standards) internationally active artists working in this city, grappling with the legacy of previous generations and the cultural milieu which they shaped and by which the...

Sau Voi Corp.Southeast corner of Walker and LafayetteNew York, NY 10013
If you’re at all like me (my sympathies), art makes you hungry. And an empty belly makes me hate everything I see. And if you’re like most New Yorkers, time and money are both scarce. The solution: Sau Voi. This quick corner shop, disguised as a Vietnamese video shop/lottery center, has a food counter and prepared bundles at Chinatown prices. The vegan options are slim, but you can get a veggie sandw... [more]
You Are What You Look At (And I Know What You’ve Been Watching), an exhibition of new work by recent Yale MFA graduate Jacques Louis Vidal, is immediately striking. The small gallery space at Marc Jancou Contemporary is crowded with color, frenetic with form; standing at the entrance, the viewer is met with what appears to be the insides of someone’s eccentric and highly personal psychological landscape. Each work reads simultaneously as objet d’art and as a culmination... [more]
Urs Fischer defies description. Zurich-born, he lives and works in a downtown Brooklyn loft, is covered in tattoos, and chooses to picture himself prone, yellow-tank-top clad, and snuggling a bug-eyed Chihuahua; he is an artist known to turn expectations on their heads. He finds ever riper—or more rotten, as it were—ways to challenge the idea of “the exhibition,” despite decades of scholarship which have declared that endeavor either no longer relevant, no longer compelling, imp...

One of the most colorful—if at times disheartening—aspects of life in New York City is the opportunity to witness the constant transformation of the physical landscape, often in the blink of an eye. The city lives; the city breathes. You wake one blustery morning to find that Rémy St. Martin has suddenly taken the place of the Colt 45 advertisement you watched painters on ladders piece toget...

Moving downstairs at the Met, from the Robert Frank exhibition to Vermeer one floor below it, was less jarring than one might expect. Frank’s introspective black and white images gave way to luminous 17th century color oil portraits that looked nearly photographic, bathed in translucent beams of Flemish light. Having spent long hours wandering through the dimly lit Dutch painting section at the Louvre, I arrived with enthused anticipation.
Vermeer’s signature work, The Milkmaid, on loan from the Rijksmuseum... [more]
When Robert Frank’s controversial book of photographs, The Americans, first came out in the late 1950’s, in France and the US, it was the result of two years of Kerouac-style exploration on the back roads of American life. Fueled by a hefty Guggenheim grant, Swiss-born Frank traveled across the country like his literary counterparts, the Beats, training his camera on what might seem like inconsequential moments in his adopted country – a group of men waiting by their cars at a funeral in the South...

Indian Tandoor Oven Restaurant175 E. 83rd StreetNew York, NY 10028212-628-3000
In search of affordable eateries on the UES, I stumbled upon the Indian Tandoor Restaurant on East 83rd between Third and Lex. Intrigued by photos of Woody Allen, Jimmy Fallon and Christina Ricci on the website posing with its smiling bald owner, a Zagat rating and dinner prices in the $9–$13 range, I headed over after a crowded afternoon at the Met. A reasonably priced prix fixe menu makes it possible to hit one... [more]
