August 18, 2010 – 5:57 pm


Sculptor Ian Schneller and champion whistler Andrew Bird joined forces on the Guggenheim’s rotunda in early August for the Dark Sounds concert series, performances that were conceived in conjunction with the Haunted: Contemporary Photography/Video/Performance exhibition. In the spirit of Haunted, we went analog and had photographer Ryan Spencer shoot the show on his 35mm camera.

Dean & Britta @ Southpaw, New Year’s Eve

VIDEO! It would have been easy for Dean Wareham to rest on the laurels of his cult status and make a little extra money off reunion tours after the dissemination of Galaxie 500 and Luna, but—along with his bandmate and wife, Britta Phillips—he continues to produce new work and tour. The two indie veterans graced Southpaw for an early show with their dreamy tunes and near-perfect bone structures on New Year’s Eve.

David Ryan

October 28, 2009 – 4:05 pm

HILBERT, 2009. Acrylic on MDF 18-1/2 x 21 x 2 1/4 inches.

David Ryan’s flamboyantly colored sculptural paintings are both economical and obsessive, creating an effect that interviewer Ryan Spencer describes as “Minimalism on mushrooms.” He’s currently showing work at Davidson Contemporary on Fifth Avenue.
