The stage of deterioration where gangs of large (mostly) white men just publicly assault people who seem to be brown because they're brown in the hopes of doing far more harm to them in the name of the state. Glad this one escaped.

What to see in New York galleries right now? I have three suggestions in the New York Times: Alix Cléo Roubaud at Galerie Buchholz (astonishing, moving), Urs Fischer at Salon 94 Design (spectacular, dumb), and Cindy Ji Hye Kim at Casey Kaplan (masterful, spectral) www.nytimes.com/2025/09/04/a...

Long line at Dunkin' this morning. I reach out the counter and the lady asks what I'd like. 'Medium iced coffee with milk and sugar,' I say.

She pauses. 'Look what I have here for you,' she says, pointing to a medium iced coffee with milk and sugar right in front of me.

Great bit. What a town.

For the New York Times, I reviewed Calder Gardens, the ambitious and beguiling new home for the work of Alexander Calder in Philadelphia. A super group is behind it: Jacque Herzog, Piet Oudolf, and more. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/15/a...

Totally fascinating read

I have read many conversations between artists, and this one with Bjarne
Melgaard and Nicole Eisenman, from 2024, has to be one of the best, and most wild, rides.

"My Career Is Down the Drain": Bjarne Melgaard, in Conversation With Nicole Eisenman

"I've been portrayed as the biggest drugged out, money-hungry whore ever to exist in Scandinavian art," says Melgaard, whose works are currently on view in "Barney Does it All" at Farschou Gallery.

Melgaard: "One of the reasons I do shows is because I always think I’m finally going to make a good one. Looking back at my older work, I just find it painful."
