Apartamento is the Barcelona-based magazine that makes itself at home everywhere it goes. Their fourth issue includes Grillo Demo's drawings of artists' homes (rejected, for the most part and unfortunately, by this very magazine), a supplement for kids, an original text by Chloe Sevigny—not to mention photographs of Kim Gordon and Thurston Moore's home shot, by Ari Marcopoulos. They recently launched their fourth issue in Tokyo, so we asked editors Nacho Alegre and Marco Velardi how Japan represents home.
INTERVIEW: Why Tokyo?
APARTAMENTO: Tokyo because is one of our best markets and, with Issue 4, Apartamento is introducing a Japanese translation supplement only for Japan. Our launch also happened to coincide with Tokyo Design Week.
INTERVIEW: What special arrangements did you make for a Tokyo launch?
APARTAMENTO: We decided to open a temporary restaurant, Tasca, where we serve a new recipe each day. More than 200 people were served over five days: pea soup, minestrone, tuna tartare, wild mushroom soup, and risotto with strawberries.
INTERVIEW: What's your favorite thing about Tokyo?
APARTAMENTO: I don't think there is a favorite thing about Tokyo–there are many. I think the retail and customer service experience is one of the best ones.
INTERVIEW: Tell me about the cover image. What is it and where did come from?
APARTAMENTO: It's a drawing of Groge Condo's bedrorm in his Paris apartment by Grillo Demo. There's a whole story inside, and you will find out it's all linked to Interview, which is interesting. I like the fact most people don't realize it's a drawing until they have the magazine right in their hands. I think it really fits Apartamento and, at the same time, it's a very high profile feature; we have discovered we can include a more diverse range of spaces in future issues.

"I really had no intention of doing a book," said Bob Colacello, former editor of Interview, author of the magazine's infamous party column, "OUT," and right-hand man to Andy Warhol during the 70s and early 80s. A box of forgotten photographs changed his intentions.
Long ago in the Disco Era, Colacello was given a tiny tool by art dealer Thomas Ammann that would come to serve as the public's lens into uptown galas, the downtown art scene and Studio 54. The Minox 35EL camera, which Colacello admits to concealing in his jacket pocket, allowed him to snap everyone from Yves St. Laurent to Liza Minnelli, Diana Vreeland to the Kennedys–and Warhol himself, dressed up, undressed and misbehaving.

Bears are making the news this week. An angry mama bear attacked and killed two Palestinian militants taking a snack break in her den in Kashmir. In Eastern Germany, three bears in captivity are losing their hair–one is almost completely bald. And, of course, this morning, bears of a different sort–the Stearns kind–were taken to task in a Brooklyn courtroom.
What do bears have to do with music? Unclear, but it would be impossible not to notice the glut of bands with the word "bear" in their name. It's not quite as rampant as the use of "black" or "crystal" or, even worse, "wolf," but it's a bona fide trend. Of course, if the bears are taking over, it seems a better bet to join them, rather than fight:

Jay-Z in the Yankees Parade: The Reaction
11/06/2009 12:32 PM

The New York Yankees victory parade is making its way along lower Broadway's Canyon of Heroes as we type. And it seems that expected float jockeys like Derek Jeter and Alex Rodriguez have been joined–somewhat inexplicably, depending on how much you like "Empire State of Mind"–by a special guest. Some crowd reactions:

Frame by Frame: Brendan Fowler
11/06/2009 11:32 AM
Brendan Fowler is best known for his performance work under the name BARR, a project that involves spinning long-winded, humorous, self-deprecating, and self-reflexive songs about such topics as his relationships and what he is currently singing. His series of silkscreened posters are similarly arranged-stacking frames of imagery, covering information, and sharing discreet bits of his personal life. On the occasion of his debut solo show at RENTAL Gallery, Fowler picked out one piece and talked about how his email inbox and the gazebo at his mom's house informed the work. Read the full article at Art in America.
Brendan Fowler's exhibition is on view through December 6. RENTAL Gallery is located at 120 East Broadway, 6th Floor. He performs at the gallery as part of Performa, November 15, 1–6 PM.
