An artist's video appreciation of the Burden installation, which simultaneously makes a subversive statement and provides maximum fun

I don't usually consider myself an obsessive individual, but when it comes to art, I have found myself occasionally a devotee.

Being an art hound and amateur curator, I have spent years hunting for a decent online art...

REALIZE Style: Rockin' the Moto Jacket

You're never too old to throw one on..

Once again, Realize takes style matters into our own hands. Moto jackets are all the rage… but Hello; we’ve been sporting them forever! So we asked our contributors to girl up and get themselves photographed in their leather jackets: vintage, brand new or borrowed from boys. There are as many ways to wear them as there are adaptations of them. Get wild, ladies! (The slide show is below...)
