Life World Is Back, This Time in Bushwick

1 week ago | curbed.com | Adriane Quinlan

The theater in the former Life World space in Gowanus. At the opening-night party of the newly relocated Life World, organizers worked the room, running lights, cleaning spills, and selling T-shirts to an audience packed with grubby fellow artists, including Eugene Hutz, the Gogol Bordello front man; Jonathan Daniel Brown, a filmmaker; and Alex Tatarsky, an experimental clown.
The Apartments of Celine Song’s Materialists

1 week ago | curbed.com | Adriane Quinlan

The Tribeca penthouse of suitor Harry (Pedro Pascal) was shot in a real Tribeca penthouse, filled with furniture and built-ins that the filmmakers were able to use. They created copies of artwork that Harry might have picked out at galleries in the neighborhood. Is there a more classic plot for a romance than a woman choosing between two men? Materialists, the new film from director Celine Song (Past Lives), shows that plot is also about a woman’s choice between two apartments.
Anger in Chinatown at an Open Street for Time Again Bar

Outdoor seating at Time Again is now corralled by lines of orange cones. The dead end just past the intersection of Canal and Forsyth, right across from where the Manhattan Bridge bike path dumps cyclists, has functioned as a parking lot for much of recent history. It’s boxed in by the side of Sara D. Roosevelt Park, the back of a building that’s home to three different schools and a YMCA, and 105 Canal.

The New York Post reports that Andy Cohen sold his color-drenched West Village duplex, with its oddly shiny bathrooms, to Danny Strong, the Buffy and Gilmore Girls actor who became a screenwriter (Recount) and hitmaker (Empire) and is about to open a show on Broadway (Chess). The twist is here that Strong is selling off his old apartment in a building where Cohen had moved into a penthouse upstairs. Yes, Cohen and Strong are switching buildings.
The Duplex on East 78th That Comes With a Private Skybridge

3 weeks ago | curbed.com | Adriane Quinlan

A deck over a skybridge links two sides of a single apartment off Park Avenue. An apartment built around a 50-foot-long skybridge, which links two buildings on East 77th and East 78th Streets, is so strange that its current owner wondered if it was a one-off.
Artist Esben Weile Kjær builds a miniature castle at Amant

A sculpture inspired by a toy castle is on view through September. In East Williamsburg, on a stretch of low brick and concrete warehouses, a pale gray castle slightly taller than a bouncy house rises from the center of a paved lot. This is SHELL, a sculpture commissioned by the nearby art center Amant, which calls it an “interplay of toy and fortress.” It was dreamed up by Esben Weile Kjær, a 33-year-old Danish art star.
Feminist Ann Snitow and Musician Daniel Goode’s Soho Loft

Decades of readings, performances, and fundraisers took place in this room, looking over the corner of Spring Street and West Broadway. The dining table at the center of Ann Snitow’s Soho loft was rarely empty, and the food was never the point.
A Park Avenue Apartment Grand Enough for William Randolph Hearst

1 month ago | curbed.com | Adriane Quinlan

The 45-foot-long great room has a ceiling that may be an imported antiquity and doors to terraces on three sides. The developer of the Ritz Tower, a 1926 co-op on the corner of 57th and Park, didn’t give himself the penthouse on the 41st floor — then, the city’s highest residence. Instead, he chose floors 19 and 20, where the building steps inward, with room for a terrace on three sides.
Why Is the Angelika Film Center a Furniture Showroom?

1 month ago | curbed.com | Adriane Quinlan

The Angelika opened on Houston in 1989, and its lobby hasn’t changed much since. On Monday around noon, the doors to the Angelika Film Center pushed open and in walked Harry, a retiree from Astoria. “Ah, they finally fixed up the lobby,” he said. Gone were the spindly metal chairs and wobbly tables just unwelcoming enough to discourage lingering. Potted palms now obscured the chalkboard menu that has long given the place the feel of a coffee shop from 1992.
