ALEXANDER MEETS MAX STEELE

Hello lovers, New York It boy Max Steele was in Berlin for a juggernaut of cultural appearances this week which included night club shows, zine readings, breakfast with art star Vaginal Davis, and photo shoots with a slew of Berlin photographers. Luckily I managed to grab a few drunken moments with him, between engagements, in my very own kitchen, for this exclusive chit-chat. Max has performed everywhere from the rarefied plateau of the New Museum to the infamous Chantal's House of Shame, via countless basement bars and galleries, garnering press from Interview magazine and the New York Times along the way. You can keep up to date with all of his endeavors on his wonderful blog: fagcity.blogspot.com

Yours, Alexander

STEVIE HANLEY

Hello Lovers,

This week I took sometime out from recording to visit one of my favourite new artists, Stevie Hanley, and talk to him about the group show he has curated in Berlin to celebrate his 28th birthday. The show is mixed media and is being held in Berlin's only trans owned and operated gallery, Studio St. St. on Sanderstrasse in NeüKoln. In addition to the art on the walls, the gallery itself is building a reputation for itself as a kooky enclave in a very hip part of the city and it's especially worth a visit on weekends when the showgirl owners put on a cabaret show in very, ahem, unique style. 

Bis bald,  X Alexander.
