Hang Art has never been your traditional art gallery. Since opening in Union Square in 1998, gestures like posting artwork prices and allowing potential buyers to rent pieces before purchasing them have helped the gallery to carve out a unique niche and launch the careers of dozens of local emerging artists.
So when Hang s owner Piero Spadaro opened a second location at Fort Mason last August, he was keen on fostering the spirit of creativity and accessibility not just in his new gallery, but in his new neighborhood, too. The space at Fort Mason was better suited for pandemic times than the second floor spot Hang Art occupies downtown. It had plenty of light and space and a bay breeze that shamelessly frolicked
10 Most Eccentric Millionaires and Billionaires
Some of us are charged with ennobling ambitions; they’re called saints. The rest of us just want to be rich. It’s what keeps us at our desks long after business hours, what makes us fritter away our money on investment scams, blackjack tables, and lottery tickets.

Jocelyn Wildenstein
A strikingly beautiful Swiss socialite, Jocelyn was introduced to art heir billionaire Alec Wildenstein by Adnan Khashoggi on his 60,000 acre Kenyan ranch. During their marriage, she began a multi-million dollar plastic surgery campaign, transforming her features into those of a big cat to please her husband.

It seems like aeons ago when Children Collide were an almost ubiquitous presence in the Australian music scene. Thanks to ARIA charting albums and songs in the Hottest 100, the Melbourne-based band were beloved by those enthralled by their punk-infused indie rock and renowned live proficiency.
For that reason, it came as a shock when drummer Ryan Caesar quit the band in 2012, just weeks before the release of their third album,
It took seven years for the band’s comeback to begin in earnest, with Mackay and Caesar mending their relationship and the recruitment of supremely talented Chelsea Wheatley to replace Heath Crawley on bass.

You had your chance.
A while back I chanced across a post by Carla Sinclair at BoingBoing, recounting a recent TED talk that proposed reviving extinct species:
Stewart Brand began his TED talk today with the statement, “Biotechnology is about to liberate conservation.” Before I had a chance to process what that meant, he went on to list a number of birds and mammals that have become extinct in the last few centuries, including the passenger pigeon, which was killed off by hunters in the 1930s. For a moment my mood plunged, as it always does with conversations of human-caused animal extinction. And then he asked the question, “What if DNA could be used to bring a species back?” I felt a tsunami of awe and excitement barrel through the audience. This was as exciting as his declaration about the digital world in 1984 when he said, “Information wants to be free.”
