The Art of ‘Masquerade’
Behind an unmarked entrance in Midtown Manhattan is an opera house. Guests aren't to arrive with tickets, but with a secret password, sent just hours before, in appropriate dress: somewhere between cocktail attire and black tie, strictly in black, white or silver. Oh, and a mask. Doors open. A couture-clad crowd disperses and surrender their phones before slipping into the maze of crimson-painted backrooms that lay just beyond.Enter Masquerade, the Phantom of the Opera experience by composer Andrew Lloyd Webber. Directed by Diane Paulus, the production, billed as the "world's first immersive musical," serves as a sort of Phantom prequel, steeping theater-goers into the lore of its "OG" ("Opera Ghost") antihero.The evening unravels across five stories of the ex-art supply shop, and much lik...

Hypeart Visits: Joshua Evans
Joshua Evans moves with the quiet certainty of someone who understands that growth happens over time. There is no rush in his practice and no interest in spectacle. When Hypeart visited Evans in his Brooklyn studio, where he is currently based, that mindset was easy to feel. The room was active but measured, paintings loosely leaning on corners with surfaces marked by revision. “This is the studio area. I have to keep it clean,” he says. “I cannot work in a Francis Bacon-esque studio.”Evans grew up in Mobile, Alabama, where drawing was just part of life. It was never framed as a career or an escape plan. It was simply something that felt natural. As a quiet kid, art gave him a way to stay focused and process things internally. That relationship shifted in college, when a period of depressi...
