- I’ve written for @artefactmag about New York’s public access TV in the 70s/80s - TV channels where anyone could make their own show, almost entirely uncensored. I spoke to Alex Bennett, the producer of Al Goldstein’s notorious sex-themed magazine show Midnight Blue, who shared some never before seen photos taken on the show’s set in the 70s. I also uncovered the origin story of a man called ‘Eric in his Underwear’ which is as weird as it sounds. There’s a link in my bio so take a look.We made a magazine. It’s issue 20 of ARTEFACT, the UAL magazine you probably don’t know exists. It’s got some great stuff inside and I’m not just saying that because I’m in it; our team put together some quality journalism and it’s totally free, too. Give @artefactmag a follow and keep an eye out if you want to know where you can get a copy next week.A £10,000 quilt ruined my lifeThe city, empty, but alive in its texture.I’m in there, somewhere.Works of Lee Krasner up close. She created these meticulous, suffocating spaces that speak boldly and embody a certain eclecticism prevalent throughout her life. Go and see them in person.I truly wish I could give you a credible reason for why I purchased the late 60s child’s bath toy - like that I’m having a kid or just bought a house with a bath, for instance - so I wouldn’t have to admit that it’s because I like it as some kind of weird art object.Views of the old fire station.
