Review: Geoffrey Gersten — Winning Hand, 2026 Oil on linen
Geoffrey Gersten’s Winning Hand (2026) arrives with a title that feels immediately legible, almost cinematic in its promise—yet the painting resists that clarity. Instead of resolving into a moment of triumph, it lingers in ambiguity, where outcome dissolves into condition. Gersten, an American painter born in 1986, has built a practice that often operates in […]
Review: Satellites II: Prada Mode as Atmosphere, Not Event
From June 3 to 7, 2026, Prada returns to New York with Satellites II, the fourteenth chapter of its ongoing Prada Mode series.

Vite: Industrial Memory, Recast — Philippe Malouin’s Espresso Machine for Alessi
a return There are objects that arrive as novelties, and then there are objects that arrive as reminders—fragments of something cultural that never quite left, only receded.

The Gaze That Haunts the Century: A Literary Reflection on Steve McCurry’s Afghan Girl
In the lexicon of modern photography, few images carry the resonance—visceral, cultural, and historical—of Afghan Girl, captured by Steve McCurry in 1984. Her green eyes—startled, piercing, and sorrowful—are perhaps the most recognized in photographic history, burned into the collective consciousness as more than just a portrait. They are a portal into the 20th century’s moral […]

Promotional rendering for 135 West 50th Street, former Sports Illustrated building, 2024. In 2024, the sale of the 22-story office tower at 135 West 50th Street for a measly $8.5 million—a staggering 97.5% markdown from its previous valuation—barely registered as a blip in the news cycle. But the implications of that sale are seismic. This […]

The […]
InfraSpeed: Streaming Into the Mind of Harmony Korine
Wake up. Hit record. Explode. That’s the formula. Darren Watkins Jr., better known to 80 million fans as IShowSpeed, has boiled down modern fame to its rawest essence: presence. Nonstop, boundaryless, and fully online. There’s a violence to the way Speed lives on the internet—not physical (although sometimes, it’s that too), but emotional, sensory, even […]
