  • NEWS: RUBY’S BAR PUSHED OUT FROM CONEYISLAND BOARD WALK

    By John Del SignoreGothamist

    Beloved Coney Island dive Ruby’s Bar and Grill is being ousted from the boardwalk. According to a tipster associated with Ruby’s, Zamperla, the Italian company that turned Astroland into Luna Park, has told Ruby’s that the lease will not be renewed, as feared. The quintessential Coney Island watering hole now has two weeks to vacate the premises, as does The Grill House, Tom’s Souvenir shop, and Paul’s Daughter. (Nathan’s and Lola Star will reportedly be allowed to stay.) So what’s in store for the boardwalk? Check out these underwhelming vague new renderings! [Read More]

  • NEWS: STREET ART UNDER STREET

    By Jasper Rees – NY Times

    A vast new exhibition space opened in New York City this summer, with a show 18 months in the making. On view are works by 103 street artists from around the world, mostly big murals painted directly onto the gallery’s walls.

    It is one of the largest shows of such pieces ever mounted in one place, and many of the contributors are significant figures in both the street-art world and the commercial trade that now revolves around it. Its debut might have been expected to draw critics, art dealers and auction-house representatives, not to mention hordes of young fans. But none of them were invited. [Read More]

  • NEWS: NY’S PAST GRAFFITI REMADE

    By Randy Kennedy – NY Times

    Anyone who has been lost in the last few weeks around the southern reaches of the Gowanus Canal in Brooklyn could be excused for experiencing a powerful Koch administration flashback. On the wall of a brick warehouse there, visible from the parking lot of a furniture store, a huge mural unfurls itself, a loving, seemingly spray-by-spray re-creation of one of the more infamous pieces of graffiti ever to ride the subway: a 1980 work by the artist known as Seen that covered the length of a No. 6 train car with the ominous phrase “Hand of Doom.” [Read More]

  • NEWS: POLICE SHUT DOWN SANTOS

    By Rob Harvilla – The Village Voice

    ?So cops shut down Santos Party House on three-month-old drug charges on the cusp of Halloween weekend; Santos management is, understandably, pissed off. Their official statement is below.

    Dear Friends,

    Yesterday was one for the books at Santos Party House. We had been working since the morning in preparation for the 20th anniversary celebration of the legendary record label Ninja Tune, in addition to the string of amazing Halloween events we had been working on for months. At around 9:15pm, the mounting excitement was crushed when the NYPD barged into the club and informed us that we were to cease operations until further notice. Needless to say, we were shocked.

  • NEWS: R.I.P. GREGORY ISAACS

    By Rob Kenner – NY Times

    Gregory Isaacs, reggae’s “Cool Ruler,” whose aching vocals and poignant lyrics about love and loss and ghetto life endeared him to fans of Caribbean music, died on Monday at his home in London. He was 60.

    The cause was lung cancer, said his wife, June Isaacs, who lives in Kingston, Jamaica.

    Cat Coore, the guitarist and cellist for the seminal reggae band Third World, has called Mr. Isaacs “the Frank Sinatra of Jamaica” for his elegant vocal phrasing. But as the singer’s friend and former manager Don Hewitt observed, “It goes further than that, because Sinatra was not a songwriter.”  [Read More]

  • NEWS: ARTIST GIVE FACES TO SLUMS

    By Randy Kennedy – NY Times

    It’s not common for important philanthropic prizes to go to people whose work involves criminal trespass and who make statements like the following: “You never know who’s part of the police and who’s not.”

    But the TED conference, the California lecture series named for its roots in technology, entertainment and design, said on Tuesday that it planned to give its annual $100,000 prize for 2011 — awarded in the past to figures like Bill Clinton, Bono and the biologist E. O. Wilson — to the Parisian street artist known as J R, a shadowy figure who has made a name for himself by plastering colossal photographs in downtrodden neighborhoods around the world. The images usually extol local residents, to whom he has become a Robin Hood-like hero. [Read More]
