This year, it might be hard to think of things to be thankful for. Many of us are still experiencing the effects of the Deepest Recession Since the Greatest Depression™,. Afghanistan, Iraq, and health care are still quagmirish. But in the words of former bailout chief Neel Kashkari : “As bad as it is today, it could have been so much worse.” In this spirit, we've decided to be thankful...
One of the surprise debuts of last year had to be Spectacle: Elvis Costello with... , a talk show featuring Costello pulling off the rare triple threat: host, performer and bandleader. Equal parts interview and jam session, the Sundance series relies upon Costello putting the artists at ease, getting even the prickliest of artists to open up and speak warmly about their influences. But, as Martin Mull...

ARTIST turned director Sam Taylor-Wood has a lot to live up to with her directorial debut, Nowhere Boy . Firstly, it recalls the early years of one of Britain’s cultural icons, John Lennon. Secondly, she’s following in the acclaimed footsteps of other artists-turned-filmmakers, such as Steve McQueen ( Hunger ) and Julian Schnabel ( The Diving Bell & The Butterfly ). And thirdly, having...

We have it on good authority that there was one big reason art lovers with means weren't buying into the condos in Julian Schnabel's Palazzo Chupi: Julian Schabel. Which is, you know, fair enough. Think about it: He'd be around all the time, flopping about in the pool in tiny swim trunks (or none at all'), chatting with you in his nasally voice, acting pissy if you made any moves toward changing the...
Palazzo Chupi , the semi-pink wonderland built by the yellow-spectacled artist Julian Schnabel , has finally sold off its triplex penthouse. Way back in early 2008, when Chupi was still West 11th Street's frothed-over mega-castle, Mr. Schnabel wanted $32 million for the unit, and $27 million for the duplex below. The latter is now asking only $12.95 million. And the penthouse, according to a deed...
Photographer Christophe von Hohenberg revisited a seminal moment of the late '80s on Thursday during a signing and Q&A at Clic Gallery for his 2006 book, "Andy Warhol: The Day the Factory Died," that chronicled the artist's memorial back in 1987. Von Hohenberg says he was actually hired by Vanity Fair to "photograph who was wearing miniskirts at Andy's memorial." As it happened,...
The third film in the Kino season was the Julian Schnabel film The Diving Bell and the Butterfly, or to give it it’s proper title Le Scaphandre et le Papillion . The film follows the life of Jean-Dominique Bauby after he has recently suffered a stroke, which has left him with ‘locked in syndrome’. His mind, memory and imagination are in tact but he is left paralyzed and only able...
Today in our Kino4 screen club we watched 'Le Scaphandre et le Papillon' (The Diving Bell and the Butterfly) from 2007, directed by Julian Schnabel, who is also an artist. Interesting title, interesting and sad story. It is based on the memoirs of Jean-Dominique Bauby, editor of French Elle Magazine, and also a journalist and author. The film is from Bauby's perspective and starts by him waking up...
Maxminimus is back up. Old posts are gone but he starts over with some very good advice : "I’ve lamented for years the advent of business casual dress in the corporate realm. Guys particularly-from a practical perspective don’t know how to do it and generally, this casual thing seems to have digressed often times into a hygiene holiday. Some might have heard my rant about this before...
Film-making by committee, however well-intentioned, is never a good idea On the face of it, there's no particular reason why the Tate gallery shouldn't be getting involved in film-making: after all, its own commissions to fill the Turbine Hall have been a consistent success, and fine-art spaces the world over are finding themselves invaded by moving images as much as paintings, sculpture and installations....

I'll still try to keep these viewing log posts popping up on the regular along with the Vitti posts , and there will be a few link-thru posts to stuff written for other places (read: Danny), but otherwise I'll be focusing my energy...
