[CULT TALK] Kate Hall and Sarah Rara Have New Books Coming Out On Hesse Press
We love Hesse Press, and not just because we are mildly to moderately obsessed with its co-founder, the beautiful and brainy Clare Kelly, who along with her partner John Wiese, launched the press last year (what’s it called when you’re just one single solitary person but you use the word “we” like a psycho?). We (okay...

[CULT TALK] Matt “Manface” McCormick
I don’t think this interview with Matt “Manface” McCormick needs much by way of introduction, but I do want to drop in a few things about the 28 year old artist that might surprise you: He’s a pretty big book nerd whose favorite book is The Phantom Tollbooth by Norton Juster (he’s also the...

[CULT TALK] Artist Ariana Papademetropoulos
I found Ariana Papademetropoulos’ paintings on Instagram. Someone in my feed posted a few pictures from the opening of her show “Wallflower at the Orgy” of some of her fluid, florid scenes – creeping watery shapes blooming from dining rooms and bedrooms, ghostly white forms swirling inside a flower wreath; they had an uncanny,...

[WORKING GIRL] Artist Emma Kohlmann
Working Girl is our new segment in which we talk to women about their work. Our latest subject is Emma Kohlmann, short-hair-of-my-dreams-haver. The New York bred painter and multi-media artist creates work that is abstract and hyper-sexual, visceral and beautiful, and inherently feminist. Kohlmann’s work is fine art in the streets and punk in the streets: the...

[CULT TALK] Jerry Hsu Isn’t Really Trying To Make You Sad With His Photos, That’s Just His Gift
I don’t feel like writing an intro to this Jerry Hsu interview because I’m hungry and tired and because Jerry talks a lot so this interview is already really long, but I will mention that Wikipedia says that Jerry was a child prodigy of dark slides, and for about three hours one day it said...
Cash Machine Group Art Show Opens Tonight – Interview With The Curators
Here’s what you need to know about Cash Machine, a group art show opening tonight at FatherSons gallery in Los Angeles: 1. I have a piece in it. 2. But do not let that deter you, as so do many many very talented artists, such as the Hass Brothers, Audrey Wollen, Tofer Chin, Zoe Zag,...

[WORKING GIRL] Clare Kelly, Artist and Founder of Hesse Press
Working Girl is our new segment in which we talk to women about their work. Our first subject is Clare Kelly, who you might know from various other gushing pieces of writing I have done about her in the past six months. Clare is an artist who works in multiple different mediums, including dance, photography,...

[SEVEN QUESTIONS IN HEAVEN] Artist Zoe Zag
If I were asked “What is a thing you have done all your life?” (you know, as we often are, by strangers at Starbucks or telemarketers), I would say “write.” Well, that and experience crippling social anxiety in group settings like ballet class or day camp, but I would say that part in a whisper...

[CULT TALK] Clare Kelly on Hesse Press
Since I’m basically a total giddy fan girl when it comes to Clare Kelly and mostly everything she does, from her photography to her writing (she’s even written for Cultist as a result of my begging), it might behoove me not to blither on adoringly in this intro about her newest venture, the publishing...

Our favorite DTLA gallery will be tricked out with clean sheets, cloud-like, reclaimed wood beds from VVOODS and total zen vibes, because you deserve a freakin’ namastaycation.

[FOMO-GRAPHS] Fruitmilk at Bold Room LA
Is it just me or is downtown LA just getting better and less terrifying every single day? I mean, yes, in some parts, the urine stench is so intense that you’re pretty sure your whole pH balance has been altered just by walking down an alleyway, but, at least you can walk down an alleyway...
