The Restless Wanderings of Gideon Lewisâ??Kraus
June 1, 2012
When Gideon Lewis-Kraus moved from San Francisco to Berlin at the age of 27, armed with a Fulbright, he was hoping to cure more than his restlessness. He figured that if he crammed enough experience into his untethered 20s, by the time he got to his 40s, he wouldn’t wonder what else was out there, what he might have missed.

May 5, 2012
Imagine the sound of Sonic Youth guitarist Lee Ranaldo’s brain waves as he tries to conjure up the most beautiful guitar solo ever. That’s the soundtrack to Loris Gréaud’s One Thousand Ways to Enter (2011), a film of Rorschach-like clouds of smoke undulating slowly underwater.

After all, Geiss was the director of Deitch Projects from 1997 until 2010, when the gallery closed, and parts of the legacy remain.
In The House
February 15, 2012
Has anyone noticed that in the past two years, the London-based Soho House—with its new locations in Miami Beach, Berlin, and Los Angeles, and its revamped New York satellite—has once again become the chic boutique of choice? We have a feeling it might have something to do with the art it places on the walls.
