Four exhibitions to explore in New York this March

As spring arrives, here are four exhibitions worth seeking out across New York this March:

Vacation by Isa Genzken at David Zwirner (13 March – 18 April)

German artist Isa Genzken presents Vacation, an exhibition spanning several decades of her practice. Bringing together works from the late 1970s through the 2010s, the show highlights Genzken’s multidisciplinary approach which moves fluidly between sculpture, film, photography and architectural forms. Across the exhibition, fragments of urban materials and experimental structures reveal her longstanding interest in the relationship between art and contemporary life. Framed by Genzken’s wry suggestion that “the entire art system urgently needs a vacation,” the exhibition invites a pause to consider the pressures of today’s cultural landscape.

David Altmejd: The Serpent at White Cube (14 March – 19 April)

Canadian sculptor David Altmejd unveils a new body of work centred on a monumental installation titled The Serpent. The exhibition also includes a series of busts and bronze sculptures that explore transformation, mythology and the unstable boundary between human and animal forms. Altmejd’s sculptural language merges realism with expressionistic elements.

Baldwin Street: Photographs (1966-1994) by Emmet Gowin at Pace Gallery (13 March – 25 April)

This exhibition revisits Emmet Gowin’s long-running photographic series documenting the family of his wife, Edith Morris, in Danville, Virginia. Named after the quiet street where many of her relatives lived, the images form an intimate portrait of everyday life across nearly three decades. Through tender depictions of family gatherings and quiet moments of reflection, Gowin transforms personal experience into a moving record of memory and belonging. Many of the prints on view have only recently been produced from the artist’s archive.

Vignettes & Mutations by Eric White at GRIMM (20 March – 2 May)

Los Angeles–based painter Eric White returns to New York with a new series of paintings that revisit fragments from across his earlier works. In Vignettes & Mutations, small details extracted from paintings spanning two decades are reimagined as independent compositions. White’s imagery draws from film, music and visual culture, blending cinematic atmosphere with psychologically charged scenes.

Francis of Delirium Announce New Album, Share New Single ‘It’s a Beautiful Life’

Francis of Delirium – the project led by Luxembourg-based musician Jana Bahrich – has announced its sophomore album, Run, Run Pure Beauty. The follow-up to 2024’s Lighthouse is set for release on May 29 via Dalliance Recordings, and it’s led by the soaring new single ‘It’s a Beautiful Life’. Check out director Kiyan Agadjani’s video for it below.

In a statement about the new song, Bahrich said: “A coffee I had with a pianist who was about to play a Philip Glass piece at the Philharmonie in Berlin, watching a couple break up on a New York City park bench, walking past a choir rehearsing in a basement, and examining a loneliness that feels ingrained into daily life. I’m not denying pain but trying to find the beauty alongside it.”

Featuring the previously released ‘Little Black Dress’, Run, Run Pure Beauty was produced by Bahrich and longtime collaborator Chris Hewett. Nicolas Vernhes (Deerhunter, Dirty Projectors, Silver Jews) mixed it. Revisit our Artist Spotlight interview with Francis of Delirium.

Power Snatch (Hayley Williams and Daniel James) Cover This Is Lorelei’s ‘Perfect Hand’

Paramore’s Hayley Williams and longtime collaborator Daniel James recently launched the new duo Power Snatch, releasing EP1 last month. Wiliams is about to embark on her first-ever solo tour, and Water From Your Eyes are the opening act. Today, Power Snatch have shared a cover of ‘Perfect Cover’ by This Is Lorelei, the solo project of Water From Your Eyes’ Nate Amos. It’s beautifully textured and emotive. Check it out below.

“We’ve both been fans of Nate’s for a long time, and loved getting to rework one of our favorite This is Lorelei songs,” James said in a press release. “His natural way with lyrics and melodies made it easy to translate the song to a different place for this project. It also happened to be the song that started Power Snatch.”

Amos, who sings backup on the cover, added: “Getting to hear Hayley and Dan’s beautiful take on ‘Perfect Hand’ for the first time was surreal, getting to contribute vocals was even more so. Couldn’t be more stoked for this to exist.”

Power Snatch’s cover of ‘Perfect Hand’ will appear on the just-announced Box for Buddy, Box for Star (Super Deluxe), which follows the first deluxe edition of This Is Lorelei’s breakout album. In addition to previously unveiled covers by MJ Lenderman, Snail Mail, and from Bob and Sarah Amos, Nate’s father and sister, it features Waxahatchee, Momma, SASAMI, Tim Heidecker, LUCY aka Cooper B. Handy, and fantasy of a broken heart with Jeff Tweedy.

Last year, This Is Lorelei put out another album, Holo Boy, featuring re-recordings of older songs from his catalog. Revisit our Artist Spotlight interview with This Is Lorelei.

Box for Buddy, Box for Star (Super Deluxe) Tracklist:

1. Angel’s Eye (Bob & Sarah Amos Version)
2. Perfect Hand (Power Snatch Version)
3. I’m All Fucked Up (SASAMI Version)
4. Dancing in the Club (MJ Lenderman Version)
5. My Boy Limbo (fantasy of a broken heart Feat. Jeff Tweedy Version)
6. Where’s Your Love Now (Waxahatchee Version)
7. Box For Buddy, Box For Star (LUCY (Cooper B. Handy) Version)
8. A Song The Sings About You (Momma Version)
9. Two Legs (Snail Mail Version)
10. An Extra Beat For You and Me (Tim Heidecker Version)

Blumarine’s Fall 2026 Lands Somewhere Between Milan Fashion Week and Venice

Blumarine’s Fall 2026 Lands Somewhere Between Milan Fashion Week and Venice

David Koma has been clear about his feelings for Venice since Blumarine’s last Pre-Fall collection. Dig deep enough into the archives, and you might find yourself face-to-face with a 1992 Albert Watson campaign in a floating city, with Helmut Newton’s signature eye hovering right next to it. “It brings out the artist in me,” he told Vogue back then, good thing that artist sticks around longer than a single collection.

The Blumarine woman used to be easy to picture on a gondola, romantic, soft, delicate. Now, she’s the one to blind the gondolier and let the soft one drown. Still, the brand’s DNA is easy to spot. Roses, for starters, haven’t gone anywhere, though someone forgot to clip the thorns this season. Petals crawl over minis and capes, bloom across vinyl and chiffon, and even show up in metallic or chainmail when it feels fancy. Knit, crochet, lace, nothing escapes the thorny takeover. Femininity is alive and well, just darker and a little sharper. In this case, “darker” means pitch black, with just enough red, white, and gold to prove she’s not completely evil.

Koma went full Venetian theater. Ballooning, oversized boas, and floor-grazing goat hair coats gave volume that walked in ahead of the models. Lions peeked from baroque buttons, while cinched waists locked shapes in place. And when shapes weren’t locked in, they were exaggerated, some ruffled, some tied into oversized bows, some completely unexpected. At one point I saw a napoleon-style jacket romanticized with our favorite florals and a fuzzy corset shaped like the brand’s spirit animal, a butterfly that seemed to flutter with every step. Someone book this man a ticket to Teatro La Fenice and send a pigeon before the next collection storms a runway.

Meryll Rogge’s Marni Debut Teases a New Era at Milan Fashion Week Fall 2026

Marni loves its designers. At 32 years old, the brand just met its third-ever creative director. Consuelo Castiglioni, the woman behind it all, curated floral prints for 22 long years, until OTB swallowed Marni whole and handed the reins to Francesco Risso, before he developed his love for 30$ sweaters. Now, the sketchbooks are back in female hands, but before Meryll Rogge even opened them, she took a long, hard look at the archives.

For me, and my fellow Gen Z-ers, Risso was the one to shape Marni in our heads. This kind of expressionism, conceptual, sometimes theatrical, is usually easily digestable for us. Others choke on it. “Risso turned Marni into a gallery you couldn’t wear,” a friend once put it bluntly. As luxury fashion circles back to its roots and wearability becomes the new buzzword, everyone assumed Rogge would channel Castiglioni more than Risso, just like Demna, for instance, favored Tom Ford over Alessandro Michele. Seems the market’s slowly craving simpler, livable clothes.

Simpler or not, one thing’s clear, everyone booked a trip back to the archives. Rogge’s debut made that obvious. The collection leaned darker, muted, heavy on black, with fewer color pops, the brand’s first three collections had barely any print or color, after all. Hips peeked out while skirts stayed easy, ’90s jackets hit the shoulders just right, and waists were subtly tamed. Stripes took center stage again, dots returned oversized, sometimes sequined, and florals went sharp, brutal in their modernism. The iconic Fussbett sandal and Trunk bag, of course, made their cameo. “We toughened everything up a bit,” Rogge told Vogue.

Marni’s aesthetic has always been clear, loud or not. Rogge may be pulling from the label’s quieter side, but it’s still pure Marni, dare I say, original Marni. The woman knows the brand, her very first paycheck in fashion ignored rent completely, and went straight to Marni shoes. Now, her name walks with them.

Sweepstakes Casinos and Gaming Culture Trends Today

Sweepstakes Casinos and Gaming Culture Trends Today

Forget what you used to think of as a casino. They are a different “animal” now – faster, more social, and with many more layers than before. Players no longer just go to the casino to spin a few slots or see if their lucky number will bring them a win – they want to chat, stream events, and win prizes at the same time. And yes, finding the best sweepstakes casino is becoming increasingly difficult these days, because they are popping up like mushrooms. That’s why platforms like Sweeps Pulse help everyone with professional reviews, articles, and information.

Why Sweepstakes Casinos Started to Shine?

Sweepstakes casinos didn’t appear out of nowhere – they were more of a product of an idea: “What if there was a way to offer people casino games, but without having to bet their own money? Instead of depositing real money to bet, players could use the promotional systems with virtual currency, which they could then use to receive prizes.”

If you’re entering a sweepstakes casino for the first time, everything will seem the same to you – the slots spin the same way (and how could there be a different way), and the table games follow the same traditional rules. But “under the hood” lies a completely different concept. It is this that helps sweepstakes casinos enter markets where traditional online platforms are seriously restricted by law. All this lowers the mental barrier for people – they see how easy it is to play online and, most importantly, without risking their money.

So what makes sweepstakes casinos work so well?

  • Promotional entry models that allow free gambling with no real money
  • Virtual currency system
  • Prize-based rewards connected to sweepstakes coins
  • Better availability across more states because of different legal positioning

Not everyone is a big fan of high stakes. Some people want to play without wasting time and, more importantly, to have fun at the same time without any stress.

Players love how clean and precise everything really is: signing up takes seconds, and jumping into real play is not blocked by depositing money or managing hundreds more verifications. Players don’t have much spare time now and want to minimize every online interaction to two, maybe three clicks tops, so this flow of mobile gambling feels like the best option. Don’t believe me? Try making an online platform more complex than necessary and watch the audience flee like sailors on a sunken ship.

What Trends Push Sweepstakes Forward?

Sweepstakes casinos are covering the territory between online gambling and digital entertainment. Combining these two elements is not a hard job, but it must comply with a couple of recent trends that show not only why sweepstakes platforms are so popular, but also how the gaming psychology has changed altogether.

Small Wins and Constant Rewards

You have watched these movies about casinos, right? Players play slots almost like robots and are looking for the big jackpot, playing for hours and sometimes days. This is not fiction; it was true. And it didn’t matter how long it took or how many times they saw “zero” on the screen. But those were the days. Don’t get me wrong, everyone loves big wins, but now it seems more important to be continually rewarded with some kind of prize, even a small one, than to wait for the big cash (if it ever comes). Sweepstakes casinos took on this psychological switch and built their platforms around levels.

It is not an accident – the whole thing is engineered so that our desire for online content is satisfied. We want the thing to be fast and to be rewarded more times, even if it is with smaller prizes. Not to mention that progress must be visible – not just for ourselves, but in competition amongst our friends online.

From Desktop to Mobile – How Habits Changed Gambling

When was the last time that you saw someone gambling on their desktop computer? Yeah, me neither. People don’t sit at their desks and chairs to play online; they reach into their pockets and pull out their mobiles. Sitting on the couch, standing in line at the mall, walking around in a store, and they can start online betting in seconds. Sweepstakes casinos know this and have tailored the whole interface to mobile gaming. Design is for a small screen, but not just in sight. Everything loads quickly while navigating, and the menus are all fingertip friendly.

Mobile Behavior What Players Expect What it means for Sweepstakes Casinos
Shorter sessions Fast loading, quick rounds Higher return rate
Navigation with one hand Clean, simple interfaces Lower player drops
Mobile access Excellent optimization More spontaneous participation
Multitasking while playing Easy pause and resume Flexible engagement

Entertainment, Not Just Gambling

One of the tough things about sweepstakes casinos is trying to fit them into a category. It’s not really possible. They are not online casinos that rely exclusively on real money wagering, but they are not basic social platforms with no real prizes either. They sit somewhere in the landscape in between these two shores, trying to grab the best bits of both, and you know what? They do.

The Final Take

If you took one thing away, let it be this: sweepstakes casinos aren’t here to replace the existing gambling or social gaming scenes – they want to create their own parallel path where having fun and winnings can coexist. Sweepstakes casinos feel like evolution, and they truly are. As we change how we play and lean into more social experiences, this model is representative of that shift. We don’t know what regulations will bring us in terms of shaping online gambling’s next chapter, but we do know that sweepstakes casinos are the next big thing, rather than a fashion trend.

Blondie’s New Album: Everything We Know So Far

Blondie’s New Album: Everything We Know So Far

Blondie are gearing up to release a new album. Their 12th LP and first in nine years is called High Noon. Here’s everything we know so far.

Does the album have a release date?

No, but it’s supposed to arrive this spring. Speaking to NME toward the end of last year, Chris Stein said, “We thought it was going to arrive at the end of this year, in the last quarter, but now it’s moved to next year. I think it’ll maybe be in the first or second quarter of next year. But the sound? I like it.”

Who produced the new album?

John Congleton, who also worked with the band on their last album, 2017’s Pollinator, produced the new record.

Who else worked on the album?

As far as we know, the record features one song written by Johnny Marr and another by Glen Matlock, as well as some of the final works of drummer Clem Burke, who passed away last April.

What will the album sound like?

“I think that it’s a traditional Blondie composite of sounds and styles of music,” Harry told NME. “That’s a format we’ve stuck with from the get-go. Over the years we’ve gotten better and better at it, and we’ve also taken a few outside tracks from outside artists.” No singles have yet been released, so we have to take her at her word.

Will there be a tour in support of the album?

Blondie haven’t officially announced a return to the stage. According to that NME interview, Harry is still ironing out the details in terms of how to potentially bring a tour forward. “Maybe if I were to rename whatever version it is using Blondie as an umbrella term… like ‘Blondie Presents’ I’d be tempted. But, I just don’t feel comfortable marching out on stage without my original guys and calling it Blondie. It doesn’t make sense to me.”

Resident Evil Requiem: How to Unlock the Good Ending

Things rarely go well for anyone in Resident Evil Requiem; however, the story can still end on a better note if you manage to unlock the good ending. Multiple endings have become a pretty common sight in modern games, and Requiem is no different. Set nearly three decades after the destruction of Raccoon City, the ninth mainline entry follows FBI analyst Grace Ashcroft as she investigates a series of mysterious deaths tied to survivors of the original outbreak. Her search eventually crosses paths with Leon S. Kennedy, who is also looking into the case while dealing with the lingering effects of the T-virus.

Their investigation soon spirals into something much bigger, with Grace and Leon uncovering a secret Umbrella facility, running up against the rogue scientist Victor Gideon, and getting caught up in the mysterious Elpis project. As Grace digs deeper into the mysteries of ARK and Elpis, she eventually comes face-to-face with a choice that will determine whether she sees the good ending or the bad ending. So, if you’re hoping to see the more hopeful outcome, here’s how to get the good ending in Resident Evil Requiem.

Resident Evil Requiem: How to Unlock the Good Ending

To get the good ending in Resident Evil Requiem, you must choose to release Elpis during the final decision at the ARK facility. When Grace reaches the computer terminal and is asked the question, “What does the creator desire?”, you’ll need to select the option to Release Elpis to unlock the good ending.

When you choose to release Elpis, you’ll find out that it’s not a weapon, but an antiviral capable of counteracting the T-virus. Once Elpis is released, the game will throw one last big challenge your way and you’ll need to take on Victor Gideon, who has now mutated into a grotesque monster. This true final boss can be tough if you’re low on resources, so crafting ammo throughout the game will make the fight much more manageable.

After Gideon is defeated, you’ll see the ending cutscene, followed by the credits. However, make sure to stick around for the post-credits sequence, which shows Grace telling Leon that she has adopted Emily, who has regained her eyesight, and confirms that Sherry has been cured.

In Resident Evil Requiem’s good ending, Grace realizes that Elpis can cure the latent onset of T-virus syndrome affecting survivors like Leon. She also uses the antiviral to treat Emily after Leon reveals that he never actually shot any of her vitals earlier in the story. The game ends with Leon returning to the field while Grace takes care of the now-healthy Emily. And that does it for our how to get the good ending in Resident Evil Requiem guide.

Young Sherlock Season 2: Cast, Rumours & Release Date

Young Sherlock Season 2: Cast, Rumours & Release Date

It’s been a hot minute since we had a chance to binge a Sherlock Holmes TV adaptation. BBC’s Sherlock hasn’t been on the air since 2017. Elementary wrapped up in 2019.

Last year saw the arrival of Sherlock & Daughter, but the show hasn’t reached the popularity of its predecessors just yet. Could Young Sherlock manage that feat?

The new Prime Video series is currently gaining buzz, so things look promising. For those hoping to see more episodes, here’s what we know so far.

Young Sherlock Season 2 Release Date

At the time of writing, Prime Video hasn’t announced plans for a potential Young Sherlock season 2. That said, the show just came out. It might be a while until we hear what the future has in store for the fresh series.

As long as viewers tune in, the story is far from over. New episodes could arrive in early 2027.

Young Sherlock Cast

  • Hero Fiennes Tiffin as Sherlock Holmes
  • Dónal Finn as James Moriarty
  • Zine Tseng as Princess Gulun Shou’an
  • Joseph Fiennes as Silas Holmes
  • Natascha McElhone as Cordelia Holmes
  • Max Irons as Mycroft Holmes
  • Colin Firth as Sir Bucephalus Hodge

What Is Young Sherlock About?

Young Sherlock is a mystery drama that explores the early life of the legendary detective Sherlock Holmes. In other words, the story kicks off long before he becomes the brilliant investigator known from the work of Arthur Conan Doyle.

Inspired by the Young Sherlock Holmes novels by Andrew Lane, the series follows a rebellious 19-year-old Sherlock during his formative years.

Impulsive and frequently in trouble, he arrives at Oxford under the watchful eye of his brother Mycroft Holmes. When a suspicious murder occurs at the university, Sherlock finds himself entangled in a complex investigation.

As the show progresses, he begins to cultivate the abilities that will define his future career. He also forms unexpected alliances, including an early friendship with James Moriarty. The case grows complicated, with dark secrets eventually coming to light.

What truly sets Sherlock apart are his brilliant deductive skills and close friendship with Watson. Like you’ve probably gathered by now, this series is set way before the two meet, and Sherlock’s skills are still taking shape.

If you find that idea appealing – and/or wonder about how a young adult Sherlock was like – you’ll find plenty here to love. The series is developed with Guy Ritchie, who was responsible for the two Sherlock movies starring Robert Downey Jr.

The ending of the first season leaves room for a sequel. Young Sherlock season 2 would likely see the detective look into another case, while his relationship with Moriarty eventually strains. For now, the eight episodes available are a fun watch.

Are There Other Shows Like Young Sherlock?

Looking for shows similar to Young Sherlock? We recommend checking out Netflix’s The Gentlemen and The Irregulars. Veronica Mars might also be up your alley.

Alternatively, catch up with the other series currently trending on Prime Video. Like Cross, 56 Days, Steal, and Fallout.
