25 min - 4: Special Guest | David Hershkovits
In this episode Remo and Claudia are joined by a special guest – David Hershkovits the co-founder of New York’s iconic PAPER magazine to chat about "Break the Internet", the chapter from the third (yellow) volume of REMORANDOM that tells the story of the 2014 PAPER magazine cover featuring Kim Kardashian in her oiled nakedness. The cover went viral and “broke” the Internet, or at least that part of it that included PAPER’s website. In the same conversation we got to talk about lots of other stuff. It really gives a vivid snapshot into the culture and vibe of New York at the time: the ascendance and influence of artist Keith Haring, the subway, hip hop, punk, the Chelsea Hotel, etc.
