(A narrative evocation of the last days of Harold Hart Crane, April 1932) The port of Veracruz seemed suspended between fever and silence. April breathed with a heavy heat, and the sea —a sheet of silver— reflected the ships and the shirtless, sweating men working on the docks. Hart Crane had been there for days, restless, with a damp notebook of verses and a waiting he dared not name....

Walking into THE BLANC gallery on East 40th Street, I am immediately confronted by an eerie question suspended in the air: If progress demands subjects for sacrifice, what separates a “guinea pig” from a person? The exhibition Guinea Pigs: You May Be Eligible by artists Yuhanxiao (Maggie) Ma and Anna Ren wraps this question around me like a lab coat. In this multimedia environment, I find myself slipping from mere observer to test subject, stepping into a speculative world where the boundaries between human and animal, observer and observed, essential and inessential collapse....

I was sipping an espresso in a West Village café when the news flashed on my phone: Hungarian novelist László Krasznahorkai had won the 2025 Nobel Prize in Literature. The Swedish Academy praised his “compelling and visionary oeuvre that, in the midst of apocalyptic terror, reaffirms the power of art.” In that moment—amid the clatter of dishes and the honking taxis outside—I felt the distance between New York and Havana collapse....

The early autumn light fades into a soft evening glow over Fifth Avenue, where El Museo del Barrio stands like a quiet promise at the edge of Central Park. It’s opening night for Coco Fusco: Tomorrow, I Will Become an Island, and a warm crowd hums inside. I feel as though I’m arriving at a poetic rendezvous—a meeting of minds between Coco and the City, between the island and the world....

La historia del patrimonio artístico destruido con las Torres Gemelas Caminar por la plaza Austin J. Tobin en los años setenta u ochenta era descubrir que, entre trajes grises y prisas del bajo Manhattan, se desplegaba también un museo al aire libre. Minoru Yamasaki, arquitecto del complejo, lo sabía: aquellas torres infinitas necesitaban algo más que acero y vidrio. Por eso concibió una plaza pública de cinco acres con jardines, fuente central y esculturas monumentales: un escenario para el arte que humanizara la escala de las Torres Gemelas....

On a quiet afternoon in Midtown, I stepped into MoMA and into a space of unexpected tenderness. New Photography 2025: Lines of Belonging—the 40th anniversary of the museum’s celebrated series—doesn’t overwhelm with spectacle. Instead, it whispers, it lingers. By the time I left at sunset, with the city glowing in pink and steel, I carried with me a sense that photography can still slow time, that it can hold memory against the rush of the world....

Un bosque de robles, cascadas infinitas y cicatrices de acero hablan hoy de memoria y resiliencia en Manhattan, NY. El 11 de septiembre de 2001, Nueva York vivió la jornada más trágica de su historia. Dos aviones secuestrados por terroristas de Al Qaeda se estrellaron contra las Torres Gemelas del World Trade Center, incendiándolas y provocando su colapso en menos de dos horas....

Ambas piezas nacieron lado a lado del mismo impulso de memoria —Liverpool como mito personal— y, sin embargo, toman direcciones opuestas: la crónica luminosa de Paul y la introspección febril de John. Salió como un sencillo de dos caras el 13–17 de febrero de 1967 (US/UK) y, por la política del grupo de no repetir sencillos en LP, quedaron fuera de…...
