Who Shares the Pain? NYC and the Future of Globalization

Two Views of the Middle East: A Bipolar Disorder
By Jason PatchUsually about halfway into my weekly phone conversation with my friend Peter he asks me, “What do you think is going to happen?” We both know that we’re talking about Israel and Palestine.

The Stable Gallery: In Conversation With Nicolas Carone
By Phong BuiAs part of the Rail’s ongoing effort to bring resources and historical awareness to the current dialogue in our ever-growing art community, I wrote an article several issues ago about The Club, and was able to interview Philip Pavia—the sculptor and organizer of The Club and publisher of It Is magazine.
The 2002 Whitney Biennial: The Whitney Museum of Art
By Daniel BairdFor a grueling day at the 2002 Whitney Biennial, a friend and I ventured into Central Park in search of Brian Tolle’s "Waylay" (2002).

In Dialogue: A Hooker with a…22 Caliber
By Emily DeVotiWho doesn’t love a prostitute? Schoolgirls (young and old) fetishize her—donning fishnets and stilettos any chance they get, slipping into the role of sexual outlaw and temporarily out of the repressive patterns of everyday life.
A Matter of Beauty: Hal Hartley’s No Such Thing
By Adriana CraciunHal Hartley’s enigmatic No Such Thing begins where Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein ended—with a seemingly immortal monster seeking death in the arctic. Hartley’s exploration of the highly generic monster and fairy tale traditions, as well as the visual possibilities of landscape, marks a major and welcome departure from his previous New York films.
Coney Island
By Lynn MelnickI give to red-topped toy machine back a decal as I want something else, better, what you have: rubber replica of reptile, shock-purple and sinister.
