The Grocery Bag Project

Physical Rituals: Katelena Hernandez’s Treat Suit
February 6, 2013
In an age where a lot of our experience of life and art is dictated through the lens of
objective media like the internet, performance art like Hernandez’s becomes both
more transgressive and sought after.

Against Tesla
February 5, 2013
Future generations will know Teslas for their mileage ranges and not their circus

We want our readers to engage with the text, examine the images, watch the television shows, and visit the sites mentioned in each […]

Proximity
November 6, 2012
Words and Photos by Arthur Underwood On October 29, 2012, Hurricane Sandy caused the New York City subway system to flood.

Words by Phill Pappas Illustration by Shea Cadrin My mother said I’d met Eddie at the swing set in Bannister Park when we were two years old. I don’t remember it. Anyway, he was like a brother to me. Eddie stayed with his uncle, Mike, just down Fulton Street about ten blocks north of my […]

Life’s so Hard in Brooklyn: My Life as Liz and MTV’s Genre Evasion
October 31, 2012
Words by Jessica Lipman Illustration by Stav Sela My Life as Liz. It’s bubble gum meets Passion Pit meets displaced Brooklyn hipsterdom. It’s live-action kitsch Daria. It’s the reality version of My So-Called Life, except set in a substantially more media-conscious social sphere than that of the lovely Angela, Rickie and Rayanne. Teetering between narrative […]
