Quietly dressing Hollywood's cool girls NEW YORK, NY.- Danielle Goldberg was sitting at a table with her eyes glued to a laptop screen. On it was actress Greta Lee, who was trying on a satin gown the same color as the flesh of a banana. “This dress cannot puddle,” Goldberg, 40, said, squinting her eyes as she focused on a slight break at the bottom of the custom Loewe piece. (Lee is an ambassador for the brand.) It was just past 9 on a Saturday evening in January, the night before the Golden Globe Awards, and Goldberg, a stylist, was conducting a video fitting from her studio in New York with Lee, who was beaming in from her home in Los Angeles. “What it’s doing right now,” Goldberg said of the dress on-screen, “it can’t do that. It has to be perfect.” Nanaz Hatami, a tailor Goldberg has worked with for five years, who was with Lee, sprang into action. Video fittings have been a solution for ... More
The twilight of the American sommelier NEW YORK, NY.- Restaurants are bustling and dining rooms are buzzing. If you want a reservation at the newest and hottest places, you are out of luck unless you know somebody. On the surface it seems that restaurants have safely emerged from the despairing depths of the COVID pandemic and the throbbing hangover that followed. Yet one key element that seemed essential in any serious restaurant before 2020 is often missing: the sommelier. Wine is still poured at many tables. But the dedicated wine professional responsible for selecting and procuring bottles, assembling an intriguing list, training the staff, assessing a table and telling stories that turn otherwise unknown bottles into delicious adventures — those people are rarely strolling the dining room. For many restaurants, the sommelier is now a luxury, nice to have but expendable ... More

100 years of surrealism commemorated by the Belgian Presidency of the Council of the EU at Bozar BRUSSELS .- In the context of the Belgian Presidency of the Council of the EU and to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the publication of the Surrealist Manifesto (1924), Bozar is celebrating 100 years of surrealism with a unique exhibition dedicated to the avant-garde movement in Belgium. In 1924, coinciding with Paris, the surrealist adventure makes its Belgian debut with the bold pamphlets of poet Paul Nougé, forming the central theme of this exceptional retrospective exhibition. Belgium’s quirky surrealists go beyond the purely aesthetic – they want to transform the world with their subversive art. Histoire de ne pas rire pays extra attention to their international interactions, the political-historical background, and important women artists. Surrealism was the most important artistic movement of the 20th century in Belgium, and its spirit lived on long ... More

'Sky Hopinka: Subterranean Ceremonies' is now on view at FRYE Art Museum SEATTLE, WA.- Sky Hopinka (Ho-Chunk Nation/Pechanga Band of Luiseño Indians, born 1984, Ferndale, Washington) layers imagery and poetic prose to create art that foregrounds relationships between communities, landscape, and language. His work intermingles English and Indigenous dialects such as Chinuk Wawa (which Hopinka notes he embarked upon learning in tandem with photography and filmmaking), a revived Chinookan creole of the Pacific Northwest, to consider how language shapes perception of place and acts as a container of culture. This presentation—the artist’s first solo museum exhibition in the Northwest— features four recent films and new photographs that focus on personal and political notions of Indigenous homeland. Growing up in Washington State, far from his ancestral tribal lands in the Midwest and Southwest ... More
