Troika has an exhibit in MoMA’s Design in the Elastic Mind exhibition (closing May 12th), Tali Krakowsky, of Imaginary Forces, gave a great talk [...]

Tuesday, April 29th, 2008

I’ve been meaning to write a post on this for a while but I never got around to it. So here goes…In an attempt to take control of current music video situation (the fact that these days people are more likely to watch a music video on YouTube then on MTV) Arcade Fire put out [...]

looking at the plethora of zines at Quimby’s, it was [...]

chicago

Wednesday, April 23rd, 2008

we had a lovely time in chicago. there was pie, quimby’s, a new bookmark, lots of neutra (or almost neutra), and naps in the park! the ferris wheel wasn’t quite terrifying enough for me, but I was pretty excited to see some nifty things in the basement of the art institute of chicago, and have [...]

Saturday, April 12th, 2008

Falling for Graham Greene novels was a fortunate event: he was a prolific writer, so I haven’t even cracked the beginnings of the bibliography.
