Diego Gravinese – Angelina MortarottiDiego Gravinese – Angelina Mortarotti
On the last Friday of the month in Buenos Aires, Argentina, one of the art districts hosts an event called "Gallery Nights."

The City Is Alive – Claudia Albertini
6 am: A nerve-wrecking drilling emanates from next door which, drill by drill, gives way to the clink-clunk of hammers accompanied by the dull boom of demolition.

Sing Along with Michael – Paul Werner
The Athenians had a name for him: theoros, the man whose role among the people was to bear witness. Michael Kimmelman is such a witness, the senior art-critic at the New York Times, a Judith Miller, as it were, to the Grand Jury of the culture-conscious crowd. Sing Along with Michael Paul Werner book cover […]
