Design Hunting – What the Gallerists Brought Home

The Living Room

The mobile was "artist-made," Patrick Parrish says. "I don't know anything about it other than it came from New Jersey." The carpet is from Edward Fields, and the sofa is Edward Wormley for Dunbar. The teak-and-cane armchair is by Pierre Jeanneret; it was made for Le Corbusier's utopian city, Chandigarh, in India.

ALEX GILBERT, a director of Friedman Benda gallery, and her husband, Patrick Parrish, head of the eponymous gallery, have a story, or an explanation, for everything that has found its way into their Clinton Hill apartment. "Nothing is arbitrary to me," Gilbert says of the vetting process, from the Adam Fuss photographs and the vintage Ward Bennett sled chairs to the rare, large Gaetano Pesce all-white urn-and even the Miro-esque painting by an unknown artist in the front hall.

By the Front Door

The coat hooks are by Carl Auböck. The large painting is by an unknown artist.

They moved here in 2018 from a 450-square-foot rent stabilized place in Chelsea that had become too small after their son, Clyde, was born. "We'd still be in that apartment if we didn't have Clyde," Parrish says. At first, they tried to find an upgrade in that neighborhood, until a friend of Gilbert's suggested they check out the three-bedroom apartment she was moving out of. The landlord, who lives nearby, let Gilbert and Parrish paint and do some work on the kitchen and bath to bring everything in line with their taste.

Drowning in Slop - A thriving underground economy is clogging the internet with AI garbage-and it's only going to get worse.

SLOP started seeping into Neil Clarke's life in late 2022. Something strange was happening at Clarkesworld, the magazine. Clarke had founded in 2006 and built into a pillar of the world of speculative fiction. Submissions were increasing rapidly, but “there was something off about them,” he told me recently. He summarized a typical example: “Usually, it begins with the phrase ‘In the year 2250-something’ and then it goes on to say the Earth’s environment is in collapse and there are only three scientists who can save us. Then it describes them in great detail, each one with its own paragraph. And then—they’ve solved it! You know, it skips a major plot element, and the final scene is a celebration out of the ending of Star Wars.” Clarke said he had received “dozens of this story in various incarnations.”

The City Politic- The Other Eric Adams Scandal The NYPD shot a fare evader, a cop, and two bystanders. He defends it.

On Sunday, September 15, Derell Mickles hopped a turnstile, got asked to leave by cops, then entered the subway again ten minutes later through an emergency exit. This was at the Sutter Avenue L station, out by his mother's house, five stops from the end of the line. Police said they noticed he was holding a folded knife. They followed him up the stairs to the elevated train, asking him 38 times to drop the weapon.
