Online magazine and hard copy distributed around the world. Launching a cultural revolution one story and one artist at a time.
Your online source for creative sustenance daily.
Mission: What started as an online blog by Akeem Duncan of the Bronx back in 2010, Quiet Lunch–as of May 2016– is now an internationally distributed arts and culture magazine found in over 500 bookstores around the world and in every Barnes & Noble in America. Owned and operated by Akeem and his publishing partners Gregory de la Haba and Bim Star, the Quiet Lunch team is constantly growing and joined by key "Influencers" from all parts of the globe every week and morphing into a media powerhouse with an ever expanding readership and partnerships with major publishers and corporations. Yet our core principles of promoting various aspects of life and culture with a loving but brute educational tinge remain unhinged. When we say, "Cerebral Sustenance Daily," we mean it. We wish to provoke your thoughts while tickling your funny bone. And may you discover a Quiet Lunch all for yourself. Join us at our table, won't you?

Making Space: Politics of Space A Triumph by Long Island City Artists and Sculptors Guild | Quiet Lunch.
Space can be a fraught term: as both abstract concept and concrete marker, space delineates a potentiality waiting to be made manifest. It can be argued that the exhibit "politics of space" achieved just this goal for contemporary sculpture. The exhibition, on view at Plaxall Gallery in Long Island....
another Gallery Presents 'Fugue' Inaugural Exhibition | Quiet Lunch.
On the evening of November 29, 2018, an enthusiastic gathering of artists, curators, and collectors came out to celebrate the launch of another Gallery. Opened under the premise that New York doesn't necessarily need "another gallery", its ironic name plays off the concept of creating something very...
THE FEMOCRATS, ABOUT FACE – An Exploration of Feminism, Intersectionality and Gender Politics | Quiet Lunch.
Brooklyn based artists Eva Mueller and Jana Astanov have partnered to form The Femocrats and will present About Face at Satellite Art Show in Miami, December 2018. The Femocrats, About Face is a three-part, truck-gallery installation which includes a dynamic portrait series on which the two artists....

Benefiting from a revamped and expanded venue (the brand new Miami Beach Convention Center) the largest contemporary art fair in the country was today in full swing yet less chaotic and easier to nav...
Incubus' Brandon Boyd Teams Up with The Surf Lodge at Art Basel Miami Beach | Quiet Lunch.
Brandon Boyd, the multi-talented Incubus front man, whose artistic (image making) output has run parallel to-if not fully integrated with-his musical offerings for more than two decades, is taking over the Surf Lodge bungalow at The Confidante Miami Beach Hotel for this year's larger Art Basel circu...
Artist and Illustrator Joe Roberts Releases New Monograph, "We Ate the Acid" | Quiet Lunch.
It's been "stay inside weather" in San Francisco recently, or at least that's how the artist Joe Roberts, who's lived in the city for 20 years, describes it over the phone. As pretty much everyone knows, massive, increasingly destructive fires have been ripping across the state of California (most h...
Brooklyn Says OY! Brooklyn Responds YO! Deborah Kass at The Brooklyn Museum | Quiet Lunch.
Artist Deborah Kass's monumental sculpture OY/YO was a phenomenon when it was first installed on Brooklyn Bridge Park's Main Street lawn in 2015. Three years later, the groundbreaking work returns to Brooklyn, as part of a public art activation at the Brooklyn Museum. Joining text-based work by othe...

Bronx Native Plots World Domination From "El Bronx" | Quiet Lunch.
Amuarys and Roselyn Grullon are proud children of the Bronx. Their remarkable clothing brand, "Bronx Native", is an homage to their hometown. I spoke with Amaurys about the initial concept for Bronx Native, the ideas behind their iconic clothing line, and the future of the Boogie-Down (Bronx) in gen...

Desire, Androgyny, and the Works of Andrea Rugarli | Quiet Lunch.
A stolen, wayward glance captivates those who gaze at Rugarli's figures. Open lips evoke a languid expression, catching the viewer's eye. These careful body language cues form the conduit of desire in the soft-focus, figurative paintings of Andrea Rugarli. Outlining his forms with the soft haze of o...

Courtney McKenna Releases FIRST Official EP | Quiet Lunch.
Newcomer Courtney McKenna recently released her first live acoustic EP. Titled Renegade, the project is a short but sweet two song affair that leaves a lasting impression and has solid replay value. Reminiscent of Stevie Nicks, McKenna's vocals are powerful, haunting and whimsically sensual. There i...
At Eternity's Gate | Quiet Lunch.
The success of painter-turned-filmmaker Julian Schnabel's biopic At Eternity's Gate depends on who you are asking. Someone expecting exciting revelations or fresh insight on Vincent Van Gogh would most likely be disappointed, however, Schnabel never made such claims. Though the film has been critici...
Fire on the Hill | Quiet Lunch.
Fire on the Hill chronicles the struggles of the urban cowboys of South Central LA. Coming from a community ravaged by gang violence and drug addiction, many found an escape in horseback riding and rodeo games. However, when a fire damaged the urban stable beyond repair, the riders are forced to fig...
For The People: Akumal Arts Festival Takes Off in Mexico. | Quiet Lunch.
A dusty town on the Yucatan peninsula is probably not the first place the average art lover would visit for a world-renowned urban art experience. Yet from November 9th through 11th, 2018 the Akumal Arts Festival (Festival de Arte de Akumal) brought renowned international street artists from as far....
Jumping Through Hoops | Q&A with Lucy Orich | Quiet Lunch.
Idle hands aren't always doing the devil's work; but then again that all depends on what you consider to be deviltry. The mischievous nature of Lucy Orich's embroidered pieces have an "inappropriate" charm that is playful, brash, clever and relative. At the core of Orich's creation there is a moshin...
A Good Boy and a Wall of Sound at Olsen Gruin Gallery | Quiet Lunch.
There isn't much time left to catch one of the best two-person shows on Manhattan's Lower East Side, or more accurately, two unique, but not so disparate exhibitions; Kevin Bourgeois' Wall of Sound and Rhys Lee's Good Boy, both seamlessly coexisting inside Olsen Gruin Gallery and coming down Sunday,...

Boy Erased | Quiet Lunch.
"What makes a man a man?" Sykes yells with a cadence that switches the 'h' and 'w' in 'what.' He yells this at a row of boys and girls, all homosexual, all wrong in the eyes of the program they are currently forced to attend. The program is attempting to change them, and if you've paid attention to....
Let Me Define Fantasy For You | Quiet Lunch.
I really don't understand the outcry over a lack of body representation at the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show. The fashion industry as a whole? Definitely. But this particularly extravagant gig, which the brand itself calls "the biggest fashion show in the world?" No. This network TV event (filmed t...
Nightlife Review: How Did Our Dreams End Up Like This | Quiet Lunch.
At the end of the day, or more accurately, after a long, tempestuous night, I'm ultimately happy I got off my ass and went to Friday's installment of "How Did Our Dreams End Up Like This," a big Halloween rave co-produced by You Are So Lucky and MATTE Projects, which took place on Governor's Island,...
The Gratuitous Glory of Gilbane Peck | Quiet Lunch.
It's a mid-October afternoon and mixed media artist Gilbane Peck is working on a series of "fine art glory hole paintings" in his corner studio in the 56 Bogart gallery and studio complex. Peck was a clear standout at this year's installment of Bushwick Open Studios, where he also put on a short-liv...
Brampton's Own | Quiet Lunch.
BIG LEAGUE ROMANCE for the WORLD SERIES Audiences love having room to explore an array of different meanings in movies. Because outside of the filmmaker's point of view, there is no "most accurate" permutation. The possibility for messages and personal attachments creates a specific accessibility fo...

INTIMATE INFINITE: Imagine a Journey | Quiet Lunch.

Intimate Infinite at the Lévy Gorvy townhouse on the corner of 73rd Street at 909 Madison Avenue is a formidable and enticing offer...
Kenny Scharf and Malia Scharf Create Art for the Masses | Quiet Lunch.
Malia Scharf would often wear clothes splashed with psychedelic pop-art designs, and when her friends would ask how they could get one, she would have to reply that they were one-offs, leftovers, as it were, from silkscreens created by Kenny Scharf, her artist father. Malia, who is a yoga teacher as...

Warhol, Bowie, and Basquiat Walk Into a Bar…The Mudd Clubb, by Richard Boch | Quiet Lunch.
"There was one of the two bathrooms upstairs that was the larger of the two, I call them men's and ladies but they were really unisex, one just had a larger mirror. Did people shoot up in there? Yes. Did people do coke in there? Sure. Were quaaludes sold in there? Definitely. The other bathroom, if....
