    Designer of the Day: Barry Bordelon and Jordan Slocum of The Brownstone Boys

    When Barry Bordelon and Jordan Slocum restored their own 1890s brownstone in Brooklyn, they had no plans to build a business around it. Today, the couple behind The Brownstone Boys have completed more than 30 renovations, published a book, and built a large following of design and preservation enthusiasts drawn to their approach to historic homes. Their next big move is the debut of Studio Sessions, a new quarterly series launching October 24 that brings their community into the conversations at the heart of their work.

    Sarah Zapata Combines Brutalist Cubic Forms and Vibrant Textiles

    Peruvian-American artist Sarah Zapata builds architecture out of textiles. Her large-scale installations fill interiors with columns and clusters of structural forms arranged like skylines, all covered in layers of weaving, latch-hooking, and embroidery that she makes entirely by hand. Each piece draws on generations of technical knowledge and years of research, while the stripes and patterns reference ancient Andean iconography and modernist architecture. Her latest creation, In Escape From the Vices of Idleness, on view at Sargent's Daughters through October 24, is a monumental installation of brutalist, cube-like forms wrapped in vivid textiles that spill onto the floor and invites visitors to walk around and through them.

    Angela China Challenges Color Theory In Her Latest Work, 'Pink Sky'

    Angela China’s Pink Sky, on view in “Moods of Nature” at Half Gallery in New York, is an abstract painting built from colors that almost completely defy traditional color theory yet hold together in unexpected ways. Working in oil paint, China creates layered surfaces with the tactile quality of décollage, while resisting direct representation. Although the work began with a struggle, China returned to a smaller study she had set aside, which redirected the entire piece. It marked a turning point in her practice, which now pairs intuition with smaller reference paintings that guide her larger work.

    A Fête for Adrian Danchig-Waring's Final Bow

    On Sunday, beloved New York City Ballet principal Adrian Danchig-Waring took a final bow at Lincoln Center following his artfully curated and emotionally driven one-off farewell performance. And yet, the dancing did not stop there; rather, Danchig-Waring spun across the floor at Performance Space New York during his tropical disco post-ballet rave. New York’s culturati as well as other lauded ballet dancers—all in glittering ensembles, contrasting patterns, or bright colors—joined him with a palpable effervescence. Altogether, it was a joyful valediction expressed through movement, as Danchig-Waring has done so gracefully with the NYCB over more than two decades.
