Last night, betwixt moving tasks, Jack and I stopped by The Sinclair to catch up with a few familiar faces at the Boston Bloggers Summer Soiree. Alison and Kate did a fantastic time organizing the event, as always, and the turnout was excellent. We unfortunately couldn’t spend the whole evening because we have packing to do, […]

Léo Caillard’s clothed classical sculptures have been hanging around my Pinterest boards for months waiting for the right context in which to share them – and this week, I happened upon their match made in GIF heaven. For Hipsters in Stone, photographer Caillard worked with Alexis Persani (who retouched the images) to present classical sculptures dressed as […]
It seems impossible that it’s been barely a month since we made the decision to leave our current apartment and hope for a successful house hunt – it feels much, much longer. Low stress weeks, they were not. In other news, though, we’re wrapping up a big, exciting project for The Kiernan Gallery, and we […]
Jack came across this mesmerizing video a few weeks ago, and it’s been sitting in the blog queue ever since; I couldn’t bring myself to roll it into a round-up post, but I’m so speechless over the unfathomable (for me) technologies at play that I was stumped over a writeup. So, for Sunday, take a […]
Happy Friday! Before you check out, check out a floating dome of discarded umbrellas (the ultimate in un-brella projects), read the Future Boston Alliance’s case for a mayoral candidate who is a champion – not just a friend – of the arts, peruse Miguel Vallinas’ fashionably dressed animals, take a peek at Dimo Trifonov’s bittersweet soulmateless […]
In March, while I was in Pennsylvania for a bridal shower, I helped my parents in their final sweep of my grandmother’s house; the property had sold, the valuable contents had be claimed or auctioned, and the closing was approaching. To my surprise, quite a few remnants struck my fancy: Exhibit A, a collection of […]
I can’t stand the thought of throwing away books. I can’t even recycle them. I bought a kindle a while back, so I purchase far less travel fiction than I used to, but I held on to my undergrad textbooks far beyond their shelf life because they didn’t sell and I couldn’t bear the thought […]
Since we don’t yet know exactly where we’re moving – just that, one way or another, we’re moving somewhere – we haven’t been able to do much in terms of concrete planning for our new space. That hasn’t stopped me from perusing home decor boards on Pinterest just in case. When I came across David […]
It may be dreary out there, but at least it’s Friday – our adventures in planning and packing will get real this weekend, but a little sunshine wouldn’t hurt, even if we’re stuck inside. Be sure to watch this incredible cover of Crystal Castles’ Untrust Us, take a look at Fabian Oefner’s high-speed photos of […]
My introduction to “flat” art and design was Takashi Murakami’s work on the inaugural Art Wall of the ICA Boston space in 2006, done in the artist’s Superflat style. Since then, we’ve seen a return to flat designs in web and mobile interfaces, as well as elsewhere in contemporary art and print design; it was in […]
