Evany Thomas’ diary. I say “diary” because she started reporting the quotidian aspects of her life long before the blogging craze got started. (I am not being snobby, I am just telling it like it is.) She is such a witty writer and she covers topics that are close to my heart, like: shopping, cakes, lipstick, dating, the trauma and joy of freelance work, and many other highs and lows.
Earlier this month, Evany had a super funny reading/slideshow thing at Coliseum Books here in NYC, which featured excerpts from her book, The Secret Language of Sleep: A Couple’s Guide to the Thirty-Nine Positions. Tomorrow night, she and her all-new "husky librarian" public speaking voice and special telescoping pointer-cum-pen-cum-laser are giving a repeat performance in the “How To Kick People” show, along with comics Matt Goldich and John Mulaney at 7:30pm this Wednesday, 28 June 2006 at Mo Pitkin's.

A confluence of commercial fashion photography and fine art persuasions clearly informs Jody Fausett's new book, "Second Place," which is itself a subversive examination of suburban living. Set against the backdrop of shag carpeting, wood paneled walls, and drop ceilings, Fausett choreographs unsettling scenes where, for example, a young woman is doused with baby powder, a stuffed fawn lies perched on a sofa or...

In addition to playing soccer, Peter has been busily documenting the games...
Boogie, a photographer born and raised in Serbia and now based in New York, has a love of chaos, violence and danger, which perhaps can be attributed to growing up in war-torn Yugoslavia. His first book, It’s All Good, is an ode to the gang members, prostitutes and junkies of notorious New York neighborhoods Bushwick, BedStuy and Queensbridge. His stark photos show junkies shooting...
Tara McPherson, 30, the Brooklyn-based artist known for her slightly surreal, melancholy-tinged work, is celebrating the recent release of her first book Lonely Heart: The Art of Tara McPherson with a book signing at KidRobot in New York City on Thursday, 12 July 2006. The 112-page book is lush with full color illustrations, paintings and the acclaimed rock posters she's made for the likes...
Gore, the kaleidoscopic photo collage that's equal parts documentary project and art book by New York noise band Black Dice and their collaborator, photographer Jason Frank Rothenberg, gets a launch tomorrow 23 June 2006 at New York's New Museum. Featuring Rothenberg's dreamy anonymous landscapes and snapshot-like portraits interspersed with (and integrated into) cutouts of porn, candy wrappers, '70s-era advertisements, and other ephemera, the book...
Like most movements, "New Media" is not without its overarching generalizations, generic definitions, and ivory tower theories. The recent book New Media Art by Rhizome founder Mark Tribe and art critic Reena Jana anthologizes some of the innovative artists in the field, documenting a moment when the genre is at its apex (or over, according to some). The cast includes current new media darling...
