Binky Philips: I Meet The King In 1956 And Paul Simon Meets Two Stewardesses In 1992
Huffington Post - May 03, 2013

It's 1956, I am 3 and a half years old. My best friend is Corky. His dad is taking us, along with Corky's two utterly fascinating sisters, to the Central Park Zoo in his green Packard "woodie" station wagon. Corky and I were in the back seat.

In the front seat, next to the driving dad, sat Corky's older sisters, Omeara and Thebe (cool and unusu...

Lisa Paul Streitfeld: Artist As Ouroboros: James Franco's Gay Recycling In Berlin
Huffington Post - Mar 12, 2013

"Gay Town" installation view courtesy of Peres Projects, Berlin. It is all too apt that James Franco should dedicate, in the metropolis that made gender-bending an art form, his latest multimedia exhibition made specifically for Peres Projects with the provocative title Gay Town. The rabbit as a symbol of fertility and the spring of renewal. Gay Town's outpouring of id on the staid socialist Karl-Marx-Allee charges into a new era, not only for the Berlin arts scene but a ...
