3 days ago | artsy.net | Maxwell Rabb

Frieze New York 2025 closed on May 11th, capping off a week at The Shed that drew more than 25,000 visitors. The fair unfolded alongside more than 10 other art fairs across the city, turning New York into a pressure cooker of art world activity, with collectors, artists, reporters, curators, and more sprinting between TEFAF, NADA, Independent, and a thicket of satellite fairs, shows, and pop-ups.
Review: Friendship

3 days ago | chicagoreader.com | Maxwell Rabb

There is no guidebook to friendship. A coworker, a friend of a friend, a neighbor—forming a genuine emotional connection with someone new only gets harder with time. This is particularly true for adult men, many of whom suffer from seemingly incurable emotional ineptitude, missing the social tools (or vulnerability) needed to form these bonds. It’s almost absurd how closed off—or awkward—they can be.

Review: The Surfer

1 week ago | chicagoreader.com | Maxwell Rabb

The Surfer opens with Nicolas Cage in classic form—shades on behind the wheel of his silver Lexus—musing on how surfing serves as the perfect metaphor for life. His unnamed character waxes poetically to his son (Finn Little) about the ocean and its waves, which he describes as “a short shock of violence on the shore.” It is a fitting forewarning of what is to come. The surfer and his son arrive at Luna Bay, a pristine Australian beach where our protagonist was raised.
Review: Magic Farm

1 week ago | chicagoreader.com | Maxwell Rabb

What happens when a team of culture vultures descends on a small community in search of a story? For years, Vice showed us that reality—and we’re living in the wake of that gonzo-journalism fever dream every day. Director Amalia Ulman’s sophomore feature, Magic Farm, plunges headfirst into the chaotic, contradictory world of trend-hungry journalists. Chloë Sevigny plays Edna, a veteran documentarian guiding, albeit poorly, a wacky menagerie of wannabes.
25 Art Market Terms Every Collector Should Know

1 week ago | artsy.net | Maxwell Rabb

Every industry has its terminologies and specialized lingo, and the art market is no different. In fact, it can be one of the more frequent offenders when it comes to assuming that certain definitions are commonly known. This becomes quickly apparent if you’re new to art buying or even art browsing. For many, first encounters with art happen in museums: quiet, contemplative spaces where works are already framed.
