America has a perfect

faves and links

Since labor day it’s been a blur. Women’s History Museum, Luar, and Whitney Claflin at Derosia were my favorite September shows (fashion/fashion/art, but it’s all about style: I like this line from Harry Tafoya’s press release, “Claflin has a unity of style that makes nothing she touches seem random,” very true). I had dinner across the table from Anna Delvey (kind of shy) and she told me what books are big in prison (the soirée celebrated Paper’s 40th anniversary for which the mag went back to their newsprint roots). I started an art and photo book column for Family Style (I chose Buck Ellison’s prep for back-to-school). I ate the very sensual menu Quori Theodor conceived for a Zoe Gustavia Anna Whalen dinner/runway show (…moist cashew cheese…) a few days after Haley Wollens ate at her Myth Mag launch wearing the most talked about dress from the Women’s History Museum show: “NEW YORK First they ignore you Then they laugh at you Then they fight you THEN YOU WIN.” Kuby Lin is winning. And because I haven’t done this in a while, here’s a recap on what writing I’ve published the past few months: an essay about DIAMOND STINGILY for Flash Art; an ANNABELLE SELLDORF interview for Artnet; a DENNIS COOPER interview in issue 003 of The Whitney Review; a riff on GROUP CHATS for LARB; a JACK SKELLEY interview for INTERVIEW; profiles of CA CONRAD and ANTHONY COLEMAN; a short story about a HAIR CUT in Flaunt (the issue is sold out so maybe I will post the whole thing soon), and a PORN review for The Paris Review: it begins, “America has a perfect round ass.”

Get tickets for The Whitney Review’s performance and reading at Performance Space New York: LIBRARY, Nov 14. Issue 004 will be out by then. You can still order issue 003 (US shipping, international shipping). Please do it, if you haven’t yet!
