WatchBjörk — Wanderlust
Even though this video premiered just today, it’s already one of my favorite music videos of all time. Directed by Encyclopedia Pictura, it comes in three versions: the 2D version shown here, a 3D version (to view with traditional red and blue glasses) and a 3D version meant to be projected large-scale, IMAX-style and viewed with polarized 3D glasses. All of the...

Gatekeepers to the Art World
On a balmy Saturday afternoon in far west Chelsea, the après-brunch art stroll gathers force, as the gallery tourists emerge from winter hibernation. Snippets of gossip in a confetti of languages!

Paul Mpagi Sepuya photography.
Paul Mpagi Sepuya always shoots with an umbrella that eliminates every last little shadow. They are all portraits, all shot against the same blank whiteness that is his bedroom wall. There is something about the exchange between photographer and sitter that draws one in, that captures a kind of delicacy about the sitter that we might not otherwise have noticed.

Björk reminds us why she's amazing and China...
China will tighten its controls over foreign singers and other performers after Icelandic singer Björk shouted “Tibet! Tibet!” at a Shanghai concert last weekend, the Ministry of Culture said on Friday. Björk chanted the name of the Chinese-ruled Himalayan region after performing her song “Declare Independence”, which she has used in the past to promote independence...
A while ago I gushed about the new Gnarls Barkley single and the fruits their sophomore effort promised to bear. Turns out I was getting way ahead of myself. The album leaked this week and, well… let’s say I won’t be giving anymore premature evaluations to bands I’m not fully and wholeheartedly devoted to. Woof.
Dov Charney Is Not The Devil.
An experpt from, quite possibly, the best ever story-comma-essay on Dov Charney, written by Claire Salinda, a former American Apparel model and friend.
“Why do people love to hate Dov then? Maybe it’s because he’s exactly who men aspire to be: an incredible entrepreneur, constantly surrounded by beautiful people, successful, powerful. And for women, maybe he’s the man...
