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 […]

Coffee is my favorite part of Monday mornings. Actually that’s not relevant here at all; we’ll get back that another day. A favorite stop for mornings in general, though, is the corner of the internet inhabited by Colossal. I’ve written about it before, and I certainly will again; Christopher Jobson’s curation of contemporary art never disappoints. […]
Neither Aram Bartholl’s 0,16 nor Dóra Maurer’s Printing till exhaustion are new works, but I happened upon the former last week just after scrolling past the latter, unattributed, on tumblr. Bartholl uses layers of paper and a light source to create a screen that pixelates shadows of the individual standing behind it. It’s an elegantly […]
I caught the work of Georgiana Paraschiv on Society6 a few months ago; when a textile design from Hannah Rampley came across my screen and reminded me of Parachiv’s split pomegranates, I did a bit more research. Paraschiv, as it turns out, has a tremendous portfolio of patterns in addition to those in her Society6 […]
I stashed C. Bliss and Co.’s Boxtwirl necklace away on a Pinterest wishlist months ago – something about the combination of textiles and geometry, and maybe that hint of Girl Scout, really appeals to me, and I’m a sucker for a statement necklace. Yuni Kim Lang’s oversized Black Knots series is comprised of similarly intriguing […]
Even though the rain is slowing, we’re looking forward to a laid back Sunday – after a smidgen of artistic festivity. Rotganzen’s corpulent, collapsing disco balls were kicking around the internet for quite some time before I came across their match, in the form of Andrea Marini’s glittering Flows. For more background on Rotganzen’s Quelle Fete melting […]
I was a fan of Trevor Baum’s arrow illustration when I first came across it beside a city skyline on Pinterest. The horizontal counterpart I later found on MATTER’s homepage seemed a perfect pairing. For more from Trevor Baum, visit his portfolio; the arrow image may have been lost to MATTER’s archives, but their site […]
I was puzzled by the list of materials cited for David Huycke’s Imitanulation #2: polyurethane, paint, steel, glass. On first look, the piece brought immediately to mind Tara Donovan’s Untitled (Pins), a cube of straight pins held together by nothing but their own weight and friction, that is part of the ICA’s permanent collection. Imitanulation certainly looked to be […]
Simple things seem best this week – especially simple things stacked and organized. For your Thursday, enjoy Zeger Reyers’ stacked-but-precarious dishes, Edmund De Waal’s monochromatic shelves of ceramics and Peter Wüthrich’s corner book stack, apparently translated to grayscale from the original at some point courtesy the interwebs.
Anyone who has visited our home knows that neons are not really our thing; we’re a black, white and grey with textures and a splash or two of UJC purple kind of household. Still, when I happened upon Diela Maharanie‘s works at RageHaus, I was mesmerized. The sharp angles, the bold colors – I couldn’t […]
