Iris van Herpen
AWAITING
#001
Iris van Herpen
Where fashion becomes something closer to nature.
Crown Heights · Brooklyn
TAP TO READ →
WHY THIS ONE
Iris van Herpen makes garments at the intersection of couture and science — forms that suggest organism more than clothing. The Brooklyn Museum is giving her a full exhibition, and the idea of those pieces under gallery lighting, in that space, is exactly the kind of thing I rearrange my week for. Fashion treated with the seriousness of fine art.

Museum of Moving Image
The only place that treats film as seriously as painting.
Astoria · Queens
TAP TO READ →
WHY THIS ONE
In Astoria, ten minutes from Manhattan, and I keep forgetting it exists. MoMI is dedicated entirely to moving image — cinema, television, video games — as cultural artifacts worthy of serious study. The permanent collection includes original cameras, costumes, and game history. The kind of museum that makes you see screens differently.

The Frick Collection

The Frick Collection
Italian Renaissance masters inside a Gilded Age mansion.
Upper East Side · NYC
TAP TO READ →
WHY THIS ONE
Henry Clay Frick's 5th Avenue mansion just reopened after a major renovation. Vermeer, Rembrandt, Titian — in rooms designed to feel like you're visiting a very cultured person in 1914. The self-conscious staginess of the whole thing is exactly part of what makes it worth seeing once.
