11.25.08The Election Collection x Chris PiascikAfter being rescued from the brink of extinction a decade ago, the Moleskine notebook has been reborn as the PBR of stationery goods. A marketing campaign from Italian publisher Modo & Modo cast the oilcloth journal as a requisite for travelers, writers, artists and otherwise impoverished people, and the company's popularity has since mushroomed into a cult following. The mythology surrounding Moleskine touts two centuries of storied users, including Breton, Hemingway, Sartre, Picasso, Matisse and Van Gogh, who are all reputed to have captured their fleeting moments of inspiration in the notebooks. Standing at the foot of this tradition is Cambridge artist ...

11.24.08Meg Catches Up With Sondre Lerche (11/22)I strolled into the Paradise expecting a night of low key, acoustic pop with Sondre Lerche, but after a few hours, I trekked back onto the freezing sidewalk, completely surprised.

11.21.08Preview: Sondre Lerche x Paradise Rock Club (11/22)I am scheduled to interview Norwegian singer/songwriter Sondre Lerche at 12:10 p.m. on Wednesday. Lerche is in the middle of an east-coast tour, and as the hour arrives, I hunker down at my desk with a magazine, anticipating the usual problems (late phone call, crappy connection, tight time constraints). But just as I settle in, the phone rings -- right on time. Mellow and soft-spoken, Lerche chats from New York City, where he is hanging out prepping for his gig at the Bowery Ballroom. “I’m definitely playing some new songs,” he says. “It’s sort of a mini-tour to try out the new ...

From the Archives: Artageddon at the Distillery Gallery»
In art, as in love, things can get a bit messy when the Internet is involved.
In the old days of aesthetic courtship, the rules were simple: artist toils in obscurity; gallery discovers artist; the Whitney calls and they fall in love at the Empire State Building. Gallerists were the gatekeepers to the art world, and [...]
