What’s the shittiest or strangest job you ever had to do?

Might I encounter the rousing side of Bushwick in this weekend’s top art picks? As I share the sexy side of our artsy enclave on this week’s #BushwickDaily Insta-Takeover, I am tempted to untap the sultry, suprising or bravely sensual side of the neighborhood art scene. Whether blatant or subtle, upfront or shyly concealed, I’ll […]

Ever heard if the penis game? You know, the one where two or more people take turns yelling “penis” getting progressively louder each time

Are you PUMPED that it’s finally getting warm? Yeah, maybe it’s a little rainy, but that’s all part of spring on the upswing.

While ghouls and goblins might be a wanderin’ this weekend, several art galleries have decided to brave the frightening atmosphere to host their openings.  From a Friday night performance, Saturday night openings, and even a reception brunch on Sunday, these events will have you traipsing around the entire weekend – and maybe give you another […]

Confrontational and jarring, the artists at once built up notions of the beauty of the body and tore them down on Friday during the third weekend in Grace Exhibition Space’s month-long “Climate Change” series, featuring performance artists from all over the world as part of the Brooklyn International Performance Art Festival

It may seem like quite a while ago at this point but the world’s best indie festival, South By Southwest, was just a few weeks past, March 12-16, and everyone in the music industry will continue to feel its repercussions all year, especially those from Brooklyn!

We had three writers (Danielle Thompson, Ileana Little, and yours truly) hanging out in Austin, snapping instagrams, taking notes, and absorbing everything we heard

I met Sarah a […]
