| | | Shelter: See How the Other Eight Million Live BY CAMILLE DODERO  Shelter, a column about New Yorkers and the places they call home, ran in this paper from 1997 to 2006. To relaunch the feature, which will run here online weekly, we’ve assembled five portraits of New Yorkers at home. From “living legend” Genesis Breyer P-Orridge to Australian transplants sharing a 3500-square-foot Long Island City loft. From the 27-year-old homeowner of a 1850s Staten Island mansion to the co-owner of Otto's Shrunken Head. But first, we begin with the first subject visited 14 years ago, Lois Morris. Location: Gramercy, Manhattan Size: About 1,600 square feet, including the backyard Occupants: Lois Morris (writer), Robert Lipsyte (sportswriter and children'... more >>
| | | | | | | | PJ Harvey, In Mourning BY KORY GROW  Of the 1,156 words that comprise the lyric sheet to PJ Harvey's eighth album, Let England Shake, "death" and "England" come up the most. But this is no slight meditation on mortality and patriotism from gothic alt-rock's reigning English queenie—it's a full-blown panorama of resignation and national mourning. Such big-screen sentiments don't come easy, which explains why the artist otherwis... more >> | | | | | | | | Red Rooster—the Swede Smell of Success BY ROBERT SIETSEMA  There's a new brightness and lightness to Marcus Samuelsson's cooking, unlike anything he's done before. Not at Riingo, not at Aquavit, not even at Merkato 55, where he dabbled in the cuisines of Africa. Perhaps celebrity chefdom came too early for him: With his slender good looks, winning smile, and captivating born-in-Ethiopia/raised-in-Sweden backstory, he was famous before he had a chance to ... more >> | | | | | | | | Mexico City Cannibals Prowl for Snacks in We Are What We Are BY J. HOBERMAN  The tale of a disoriented cannibal family trying to survive in the lower depths of Mexico City, Jorge Michel Grau’s We Are What We Are is a darkly comic social allegory as well as an atmospheric little genre flick. This promising first feature is nearly as apt to use the power of suggestion as to ladle up the gore, triumphantly creepy, and just arty enough to have secured a slot in last year... more >> | | | | | | | | Michael Lohan Was Next To Me Holding a Big Knife! BY MICHAEL MUSTO  The day his daughter was hit with thievery charges, Michael Lohan was stealing her thunder by standing next to me with a huge, scary knife. But there was a perfectly delightful explanation for this, mind you. We were slicing vegetables at God's Love We Deliver as part of the diciest celebrity volunteer group since Hands Across America, helping the homebound as I prayed to the big eggplant in the... more >> | | | | | | | | George Condo Makes Mark Rothko See Red BY CHRISTIAN VIVEROS-FAUNé  The George Condo retrospective at the New Museum has already received as much ink as the place garnered for any show in 2010. A crowd pleaser—the museum reports record attendance since opening night—the exhibition has been variously described as "a delight," "sensational," and, in the words of one clever crank, a show of truly awful works by a gifted painter that people just love. Pop... more >> | | | | | | Runnin' Scared Newsweek, the long-suffering magazine, was purchased by audio equipment billionaire Sidney Harmon way back in mid-2010 and hobbled on, losing employees along the way, but impressively still managi...
