Installation view of Head Shop Exile is one of Berlin's most exciting young galleries - founded by Christian Siekmeier in 2008, and now run in partnership with Robin John Berwing, it has offered a steady exhibition schedule since its inception, along with an ambitious 'Summer Camp' program, a series of group shows cum happenings that offer a spirited alternative to the typical art opening. For their latest, Exile invited NY-based artist and publisher (of the cult magazine, Straight To Hell) ,Billy Miller, to put together two concurrent shows. One, titled 'Lost Horizon', is inspired by the iconic novel and film of the same name, explores American Western archetypes through the lens of loss, while the second, 'Head Shop', owes its conceptual roots to legendary bohemian boutiques like London's Granny Takes a Trip, offering a crowded 'selling floor' full of work that explores the rich possibilities of the mind.

Read an Excerpt
Ann Charles ______________________________________________________________ A Bunch of Monkey Malarkey An excerpt … _________________________________________________________ From Chapter One… Chapter One Tippytoe, Louisiana Madam Electra’s Fortune Teller Tent One hour until showtime “I’m thinking about taking up sword swallowing, Electra,” said the bear of a man sitting across my parlor table from me. “Sword swallowing?” My palms hovered over Ol’ Blue, the crystal ball handed down through my family for generations. “Eugene, you just got over your fear of swallowing fire. Why do you want to mess with a good thing?” Eugene had a popular act here at AC Silly Circus’s freakshow division. He started out as “The Giant Man,” making the crowd “oooh” and “ahhh” with his intimidating human size. Then he shapeshifted into his furry werebear self, lit the end of a torch on fire, and swallowed the flames, all without burning himself alive in the process. “Fire is boring these days, not to mention the heartburn is a killer. You wouldn’t believe how many antacid pills I’ve gone through already this week.” “That’s because we’re in Cajun country. You’ve been eating spicy jambalaya and garlic seafood gumbo since we hit the state line. Plus, all those deep-fried boudin balls you keep popping in your mouth like candy can’t be helping your gut. I thought you were off pork, anyway.” His doctor had recently told him that too much pork fat in his diet made him more flammable. “Oh, those aren’t the pork boudin. They’re alligator with rice and peppers mixed in and deep fried to a crispy brown perfection.” He licked his chops at the mention of them. -
THE-MARK-HOTEL-ASVOFF-March-19
March 19, 2014 The Mark Hotel in New York By Glenn Belverio and Diane Pernet Dear Shaded Viewers, One can't imagine a better place to hang up one's mantilla after a long day of fashion film organizing and hosting. The Mark on New York's Upper East Side, just an Akoya pearl's throw from Central Park, is "New York's most boldly lavish hotel." It certainly lives up to that claim. Three nights in a cavernous suite, complete with two bathrooms and a well-appointed living room, with a show-stopping Jean-Georges restaurant only an elevator ride away, is the sort of relaxing respite one needs amidst the hustle and bustle of this often unforgiving city. The Mark is housed, as it has always been, in this beautiful 1927 landmark building. But as is a luxury hotelier's wont, the inside has been transformed with a design aesthetic that is at once soothingly modern and brazenly futuristic. http://ashadedviewonfashion.com/blog/mark-hotel-new-york-glenn-belverio-and-diane-pernet ASVOFF producer-at-large David Herman also stayed at The Mark. Hailing from Paris, it was David's first visit to NYC--and he told me everything lived up to his expectations (!) The Mark's interiors were conceived by renowned French designer Jacques Grange. (His rather impressive client list includes Yves Saint Laurent, Valentino, Karl Lagerfeld and Caroline, Princess of Monaco.) Known for his striking modernity and theatrical flair, Grange has created public spaces for The Mark that engage and delight. Not only did he oversee and design the furnishings, Grange also collaborated with Parisian design gallerist Pierre Passebon to comission a host of objets d'art, furniture and light fixtures, specially created for the hotel by renowned artists and artisans, including Ron Arad, Vladimir Kagan, Mattia Bonetti and Paul Mathieu. -

Of Swallowing Swords Sarah Blaskovich Published: February 18, 2015 7:26 Am
Video: Pregnant Dallas woman enjoys ‘danger’ of swallowing swords Sarah Blaskovich Published: February 18, 2015 7:26 am In front of a live audience, Veronica Hernandez will stick a 14-inch blade down her throat at 9 months pregnant. “It’s hard enough being a pregnant woman who already has gone through morning sickness,” says Hernandez, who goes by the stage name Jai Le Bait. She’ll activate those gag reflexes once more as she slowly puts a sword down her throat at World Sword Swallower’s Day in Grand Prairie on Feb. 28. Could that be dangerous to the baby, I had to wonder? “The human body is awesome,” says the Dallas mom. “This is my one opportunity to show off what my body is capable of doing pregnant. [Let's] just hope my son isn’t born with a pierced ear!” Jai Le Bait is part of a very small fraternity of sword swallowers. In fact, only a few dozen people participate in this style of circus performance art worldwide, and only 15 percent of those are women, says Dan Meyer, president of Sword Swallowers Association International. It isn’t a trick, either: The performers at Ripley’s Believe It or Not on Feb. 28 are actually swallowing swords. Meyer estimates it took him about 13,000 tries over four years before he successfully swallowed his first sword. Gulp! Performers at World Sword Swallower’s Day honor those who have died from their injuries, like Dallas’ Rosemary Puente, who died in 1968 from a 1/4 inch cut at the age of 25, Meyer says. -
