Artists do tend to look like tortured souls, bless them. You might think this is due to a lack of money (apart from a select few such as Damien Hirst, who as Liberace quipped is “crying all the way to the bank”), or for stylistic effect....

It's hard when talking about Tumblr to not sound like someone's dad, however, perusing the original art and design that sits in many of its farthest reaches has quite the opposite effect; the youthful exuberance of DIY culture is oft overwhelming,...
New York
Many a relaxing weekend away has been spoilt by tearing around the region ticking things off your “to do and see” list, or by the nagging guilt that creeps up when you are lying by the pool not ticking anything off any list other than the...

“You want to watch out love, you'll walk into a lamppost wearing your scarf like that!” is exactly the sort of comment you won't hear cultured types like us at We Heart make while walking around the Frozen Lakes exhibition at Artists Space in...
New York
Being a perpetually hungry bunch, we hate to see good restaurants closing their doors, especially those of celebrated but short-lived diner M. Wells' calibre. The major silver lining to this apparent rental dispute tale of woe though is that the...
New York
It's always nice to feel like your improving yourself while drinking – it takes the edge off the guilt a bit - so three cheers and a bottoms up for Culturefix in New York. Depending on which way you want to spin it to yourself, or your other half,...
The Edit
The collaborative project In Pieces from Nathan Sawaya and Dean West has resulted in work that requires a double-take, or even a triple-take, to both notice what sets these scenes apart and appreciate the skill it took to create. So before you read...
The Edit
Mark Dean Veca's art is impossible to pigeonhole – part cartoon, part surrealism, wholly nuts (in the best possible way), the Louisiana native creates a humorously twisted, often psychedelic vision of the world through his weird characters,...
Music
Readers with a decent memory for high quality music photography will remember Alessandro Simonetti back when he was stalking the intimate and normally out-of-bounds private areas of Wu Tang in Rome back in 2010 for their Reunited in Full Force tour...
The Edit
Debbie Harry, the face that launched a thousand furtive boyhood fantasies, and spawned a sea of new wave copycat peroxide hairdos in the 1970s and '80s. Singer, style icon, sex symbol, frontwoman and trailblazer for hook-laden pop-punk outfit...
Art & Culture
The surviving subjects of photographer Jeanette Montgomery Barron's nostalgia trip/retrospective Scene, published by powerHouse Books, have probably all given up the cigarettes they once so cooly dangled from their mouth corners and are in bed by...
The Edit
Aakash Nihalani's street art is brilliantly simple. Using little more than cunningly positioned fluorescent tape he has been making passers-by double take in New York for some time now with his mind-boggling interventions. Now he's moved into...
Stuff Crush
Weirdness is a notion long entwined with the concept of creativity. Mocked by the strait-laced confined to their boxes of conformism, celebrated by the bold and the brave who pursue the outré as a means of pushing beyond the banal. In Weird...
City Notes
In Montreal’s Little Italy, a new arrival is making waves with a fresh take on Italian dining. Pasta Pooks, which opened in March 2025, is a compact five-seat takeout counter serving pasta and natural wine in a space that marries Old World charm...
City Notes
A once-forgotten 19th-century residence in Savannah’s historic district has been brought spectacularly back to life, reincarnated as The Douglas; a refined 16-room boutique hotel at 14 East Oglethorpe Avenue, where design meets old-world...

In a country where club floors open with Buddhist chants and Ladyboys offer dawn alms in corsets and stilettos, Elizabeth Waterman has found a world of contradictions too vivid to ignore. Over the past three years, and across four extended trips,...

Moving, renovating, or downsizing in a fast-growing city like Dallas can quickly become overwhelming. Between tight housing transitions, unpredictable weather, and the sheer logistics of packing up a home or office, it’s easy to feel buried under...

Drivers race the yellow light constantly. It's become normal behavior. Someone sees the light turn yellow and accelerates to beat it rather than slowing down. Another driver is already committed to going through. They collide in the middle of the...
Dispatches
Once upon a time, hotels were where we went to escape real life, and homes were where we returned to it. Today, that separation is disappearing. The warmth, comfort, and design sophistication that once defined boutique hotels are now finding their...

Moving is one of those life events that sits somewhere between chaos and reinvention. It’s stressful, yes — but it’s also a rare opportunity to start over. To touch every object you own, question its purpose, and decide what kind of person...
