How to Map New York City

A lot of art and a little science went into representing fifteen years of Urban Omnibus stories on a map of New York City.

Everybody Should Be Honored

A rare combination of collective art project, community celebration, and environmental protest, the Hunts Point Fish Parade honors residents of the Bronx neighborhood and mobilizes them in the fight for its future.

All-Access Art

What makes an inclusive museum? Art institutions are reassessing their buildings and their budgets to meet the moment.

Behind the Curtain

Massage parlor storefronts along New York City streets are an invitation to wellbeing . . . and suspicion. Red Canary Song reframes these spaces for intimate bodywork in terms of care, healing, and survival.

Living Legend

To reimagine the Cross Bronx Expressway, and redress damage it has wrought for generations, we have to see the corridor clearly as it is today.

In Absentia

Where street trees have gone missing, sculptural assemblages punctuate the pavement.

Queens Close Up

A half century of immigration has continuously layered new urban forms on an otherwise unremarkable landscape.

Entry Level

Theaters and concert halls are redesigning their interiors to entice new audiences and shore up revenue. Can performance spaces elevate everyday life, too?

Painter of Modern Life

The past and the present, the factual and the virtual, the foreign and the personal, are all layered in a New York portrait painted from a D-train dérive.
