Manhattanhenge, allegedly coined by astrophysicist Dr. Neil DeGrasse Tyson, is a biannual event during which the setting sun or the rising sun is aligned with the east-west streets of the Manhattan street grid — especially 14th, 23rd, 34th, 42nd and 57th Streets. It helps that the street grid is orientated about 29º clockwise from true east-west. The alignment occurs on dates around both the…

Beloved Monsters 

by Janet Bruesselbach

ANNOUNCING A POP-UP PUBLIC EXHIBITION AND RECEPTION Thursday, June 29, 2023, 6–8 pm The Experimental Space, 43-01 22nd St. #300,  Long Island City, NY 11101

Beloved Monsters is a series of portraits in oils that explores queer sympathies with mythic creatures. There are 25 paintings around 2 by 3 feet on average, which were produced between 2016 and 2023. Janet Bruesselbach recruited models from its friends and LGBTQIA2S+ community, primarily in New York City, who related to the idea of embracing being othered or considered beyond normative personhood, in their queerness, and often in their neurodivergence and disability as well. In collaboration, artist and subject imagined what mythical cryptid, monster or mythic being they might embody. Each creature retains a human face and often much of the human figure, challenging viewers to contemplate both the relatability of the monstrous and the ways in which society forces outsiders into these archetypes. Despite the name, not all of these creatures fulfill the narrative role of “monster” and instead are re-interpretations of mythology specific to the subject’s experience and artist’s imagination. Every painting is an expression of the artist’s love for its model, and the beautiful diversity of society’s gender and sexual outliers.

Original works, catalogs and prints will be available for sale. This project was funded primarily by a Kickstarter in 2021. This event is made possible with public funds from the Queens Arts Fund, a re-grant program supported by New York City Department of Cultural Affairs in partnership with the City Council and administered by New York Foundation for the Arts.

For inquiries contact janet@bruesselbach.com. All works may be viewed at belovedmonsters.art.

I was heading to the Brooklyn Paramount to cover the second and final night of Slowdive‘s two night run when I came across this piece of graffiti that felt both timely and urgent while featuring an important message: ERIC ADAMS MUST RESIGN. I agree and I bet I’m not the only one who feels the same.

Petey's Burger

I stopped in this joint with some guys from the NYC Zooz Club after a ride, and stuffed a double cheeseburger down my throat. It was really good! I didn’t get a photo of their shoestring fries, but they were excellent. All in, with a drink, $17. Excellent deal! PETEY’S BURGER 46-46 Vernon Blvd. Queens, NY 11101

who invited this bozo

A few myths about New York City that I'd like to dispel:

The subway is not dangerous and people will help you find out how to get where you're going if you're lost.

Not many people speak in a Brooklyn accent anymore, except for older natives or families who have lived here for multiple generations.

The giant metal sphere ten times the size of Jupiter that floats over just a few feet over isle of Manhattan every year on the vernal equinox must be struck with a feather lest Baal be angered.

The people are not rude! New Yorkers just respect each others' privacy and space, so they come off as cold. But they're always willing to lend a hand.
