#OBSESSIONS volume 2026.4 Brooklyn-based artists Mo Bone (@mobonestudio ) and Sasha Kolomatsky (@eel_feet ) host weekly figure drawing sessions in a beautiful Soho studio and it has become my religion. The models are always fantastic and I’m so glad to have reconnected with my pencils and sketchbook. Come by one week and you’ll probably see me there! Obsessed: @j_caceros I beg you @hbomax , please turn this show into a special 🙏 Since exiting @sohoplayhousenyc last summer after first watching @morgankindof ’s  ‘Can I Be Frank?’, a piece of myself still remains in that theater in awe of what Morgan accomplished. This tribute to Frank Maya is an extraordinary altar built on deep hilarity, exquisite f@ggotry , and tenderly delivered bitter truths. This show is medicine for this moment. Obsessed:@ampersandparis If you need a feel-good show and a sense of camaraderie with strangers, go see Burnout Paradise at Astor Place Theater. You’ll feel exhilarated, secondhand anxiety, community with your row, and a touch of whimsy. It’s an impressive feat of endurance that might leave you wondering if you can run backward on a treadmill (you can’t). Go get tix, it’s running (lol) through June! Obsessed: @paigeharari Get ready to move! Founded in 2023, @practice_in_space is shaking up the dance scene with low-stakes, collective improvisation. What began as a small gathering has grown through word-of-mouth into a thriving network of 300 artists. This May and June, local artists will lead nine sessions open to the public—expect pure, ego-free experimentation that builds toward a wild, improvised performance in July.  Obsessed:@gaypreciousmoments Spring is in the air, and shirtless runners are in the streets. Is there a better way to usher in warmer weather than showing full sweaty bouncing torso to the world?! I sure can’t think of one. This is perhaps my favorite act of public sluttery, and it comes at the perfect time when I’m really getting back into my running grind. Obsessed:@bobagenda

@attic_projects returns to @stannswarehouse for ‘Scorched Earth’ opening tonight. We first designed for Luke Murphy in 2024 when ‘Volcano’ premiered in New York City as part of @utrfest . Welcome back and break a leg! Performances running April 3 - 19, 2026. Designer: @gaypreciousmoments Creative Director: @ampersandparis

She is the woman we want behind the camera…and a natural in front! Say hello to our content producer, Piper <3 📸 - @patrickdonovanstudios

Allow us to reintroduce ourselves 🐣

#OBSESSIONS volume 2026.3 This is fiercer than it sounds. Attendance IS required for HIGH AND SCARED at Ars Nova. I’ve been a big fan of @mthrtrsa for a while, and this glamorously chaotic yet somehow meditative panic attack on stage has got to be my favorite thing I’ve seen her do. It’s mania made live performance and a love letter that invites you to grieve through myriad non-stop horrors. Obsessed: @bobagenda mori’s El Niño Bola is like stumbling onto a private, glitchy frequency that I can’t turn off. I love how the “little ball boy” concept anchors the chaos, blending frantic, shattered production with these unexpectedly soft moments of hazy vulnerability. The whole experience feels like an intimate and spontaneous diary entry. It’s a beautifully strange snapshot of creativity highlight why this corner of the underground excites. Obsessed: @gaypreciousmoments I’m late to this train, but I finally worked up the courage to watch The Pitt. I’m not big on hyper-realistic medical procedures, so I wasn’t sure I could handle it but it’s so good. It’s realistic, with fantastic character arcs — which is wild considering each episode covers just one hour of their lives. Each season is a single 12-hour shift, which feels completely unfathomable once you finish it. Obsessed: @paigeharari I know I was obsessed with a game last time but what do you want me to do when the highly anticipated 9th entry of the Resident Evil franchise came out, and I can play it on the go. Grace Ashcroft the young mother you are. Leon KENNEDY 💜 That’s the tweet. Capcom masterfully combined the many eras of RE and ate down. GOTY Obsessed:@j_caceros Walk through the onslaught of glowing Times Square promotions sparkling off faux metallic paraphernalia and arrive inside a mirror world, the vestibule of Church of St Mary the Virgin. This place of workshop holds the loose and iterative performance series OFFERINGS imagined by curators @alessandrrraa @sweetmellingro @ethanphilbrick and Leonor Mendes. Once a month, this series offers three distinct performances by artists across a variety of disciplines, and the end result is an invigorating sense of possibility.  Obsessed:@ampersandparis

At FAILSPACE, we love designing for the rich cultural fabric of NYC. From the very first time we met @therachellin and the incredible @dearjohnplay team, it became clear that this independent production was going to activate and impact its immediate community and the city beyond for the better. It’s such a joy to collaborate with a highly-motivated, kind, and passionate group of people all working to bring meaningful art to the people of NYC while strengthening their community along the way. We’re so proud of this team and the work they’ve created. Dear John has extended its run through March 22, so don’t miss your chance to see this heartwarming show. Thank you to the Dear John team for welcoming FAILSPACE into your family. ❤️

This code doesn’t write itself…well nowadays it can…but not without the @the_real_bgoosman . We can count on one finger how many software developers there are also dancing on the mainstage. “Hello World!” meet Ben <3 📸 - @patrickdonovanstudios

#OBSESSIONS volume 2026.2 I swear that I don’t only like this album because it features Ethel Cain. In her newest album, Anna von Hausswolff combines vibrating pipe organs and electric instrumentation alongside piercing vocals that deliver delicately-crafted lyrics. In an album that challenges the modern attention span, she releases self-constructed  beliefs, rigid systems, and dogma in order to arrive at a cathartic reclamation of agency. Obsessed: @ampersandparis Ok, stick with me here folks, I’m breaking form a little and picking a ~concept~ as something I’m obsessed with. I’ve been trying to dress “draped” for a while but it’s really crystalizing for me in the winter. All I want to do is see how many articles I can comfortably drape on my body while still looking…cool. Flowing skirt over wide leg pants with at least three different types of shirts and also a sweater? Sign me up. She’s giving gaudy textured curtain and she’s obsessed. Obsessed: @paigeharari Here’s a song to shake up your standard playlists “centro (aLt), bringing a “looser, sweatier” vibe that expertly crashes sensual reggaetón with experimental alt-pop sway. This track by aLex vs aLex ft. S.3.R is a hypnotic banger infused with guaracha-inspired beats, making it impossible not to lose yourself in the rhythm. Seriously, go give this Billboard-ranked single a listen and prepare to get hooked. aLex vs aLex opened for my fav AMORE <3 Obsessed: @gaypreciousmoments Look gamers, don’t get mad at me for this but, I own a Nintendo Switch 2 (shout out to my bestie Geo). You already know I’m keeping up to date with “Nintendo Switch 2 Editions” of games, so when I saw ACNH was getting a version 3.0 AND a Switch 2 upgrade, well let’s just say Miyamoto got my $4.99 plus tax. I’ve been decorating my admittedly under-kept village (shout out to Gran Sueño) and finally understanding the joy of Animal Crossing. I’ve also been connected with my little sister more through it which is always a sweet addition. Obsessed:@j_caceros

Previews begin tonight for ‘Hate Radio’ at St. Ann’s Warehouse and once again we’re humbled to see our designs scattered across the fabric of New York City.  Congrats to everyone who has worked on this show and cheers to the start of an incredible show run! Performances running Feb 12 - 28, 2026.
