With the beach and its bliss far behind us — well, not for our SIXTY ports in Los Angeles or Miami, but you get the idea — it’s time to sink our teeth into the indoor bounty that is the fall cultural calendar. This month, our resident culture critic Scott Heins...
Read moreThe mix of shows in this edition of SIXTY’s Art Beat has something to satisfy everyone, from modern sleekness to archival research to literal trash. The exhibitions picked by resident art critic Rob Goyanes include a neglected performance artist of the 1970s NYC queer scene, a painter who had...
Read moreChris Earl makes nice things. Things you’d like to have sitting in your living room, on your kitchen shelves. The the kind of things that make people say “Oooo… where did you get this?” when they walk into a home. That’s because Earl has an ingrained feel for quality,...
Read moreYellowed leaves are very quickly turning into bare branches over here at SIXTY HQ and the scene has plunged us headlong into a rather contemplative mood. Good thing the latest track from Jessica Pratt, “This Time Around,” is the perfect song for mid-autumn daydreaming. It’s off her soon-to-be-released album,...

Read moreDrinking and history go together like beer and bar nuts. Wherever you go in the world, chances are your beverage of choice has deep roots. You might go to Italy to taste an ancient grape, or you to Brazil for an education in cachaça and caipirinhas. In Los Angeles,...
Read moreBrooklyn-based ceramicist Helen Levi deals in the kind of perfect imperfection that is wholly aligned with the aesthetic of today. Each piece, made out of her light-filled industrial studio in Red Hook, is unique and bespoke. Lines waver, paint drips, colors meld. Levi’s work is the antithesis of mass...
Read moreThe scene is comically out of date. Hulking computers, file cabinets packed with paper, boot-cut suits. It could be a parody starring any one of Judd Apatow’s favored actors. Only it’s not.
