Tar-Nation

Friday night’s dramatic dip in temperature was no impediment to the style crowd’s nocturnal missions. Despite a punishing wind sweeping off the Hudson River, a crowd of Studio 54-like proportions swarmed the entrance to Milk Gallery, bidding to get into tar magazine’s party celebrating the self-styled “thinking” publication’s second issue. “My name is Philip-Lorca diCorcia,” said the well-known photographer, humbly, to one of the frozen PR girls checking the list. “You shouldn’t be waiting,” somebody laughed. “Who am I?” said diCorcia, whose own latest exhibition opens at David Zwirner Gallery later this month. “I’m just like everybody else.” Inside, things went from chill to chiller. Matthew Barney, Piper Perabo, and a swath of models graced the scene. tar’s artistic director Bill Powers, sporting his mad-professor coif—fast becoming his signature style—gushed about the new issue’s content, but remained tight-lipped about its cover image and a rumor that it’s linked to a major traveling exhibition. He would talk about the insides, though. “Ryan McGinley has some really cool cave photographs in the issue, like it’s all nudes in caves,” Powers said. “And Terry Richardson did a great portfolio of shrinks—psychologists in their offices and their environments. I think it was mostly inspired by his own personal life.” That’s something we’ll have to see for ourselves.
