Morning all. Got this interesting email from my friend Jen. Two links about found art/letters. ### The one about coke and viagra is interesting, particulary that someone writes these letters more than once. Practice? Also check out $$$. I admit I collect these things sometimes too.
Some photos of George Yu’s (sciarc faculty.. kick ass architect) 1 meter shiny glowing box – called Primitive – are online here ////. (Link stolen from SCi-Arc)It is part of the show Blue Diamond 68 at Artist Space in NYC curated by Neil Denari. Take a look, it sure is pretty.
I just gotta say, Neil Denari came over here last night to tell us that he is still the man. Packed the ‘auditorium’ like it ain’t yet been packed, and showed off some great stuff. Here’s a quote: “I could care less about drawing – always have – and only care about designing.” Nice.
I would post his site here.. but either I have the wrong address for it or its temporarily down. Either way, will post it later.
Also added a conversation with my friend Pilar about the Luxury Manifesto to the Blog section of that project – it may help to clarify some of the ideas a bit.
Well, I have finally updated the Luxury Project section with work current up to the Mid-Review. Please take a look around in there and feel free to comment on it. Next phase of the project involves the application of these ideas and strategies to a mixed use project (gallery, rental units, living space) for clients Chris and Kelley. That stuff will be posted at the next break I get, or as it happens.
Hey everybody, here is my first post to RISE Industries. Sorry if it is a little self promoting…
A site I just finished designing, NaaleWear, is having a sale. Custom clothing, take a look. If you buy something, that means I get paid…
This note comes in from J of Providence (incidentally, a new Rise member, take a look in the members section), seems that you may need to fear for your civil liberties – especially if your radical hobbies include photography }}}}}}
Like the White Stripes? Perhaps then it is time to go rent The Song Remains The Same… the seminal film of rock stardom at its absolute pinnacle. Jimmy Page, battered violin bow, dream sequences with terrible terrible homemade special effects and some of the hardest rock ever. Well, I just watched it again last night with a colleague from school and a few drinks, and it was even better then we remember it.
or go here and look around for more immediate gratification. zzzz
////Maybe you would like to look at some flash fun by video artist PIPILOTTI RIST? I hope so. Maybe there is a clip of her video walking down the street, smashing car windows with a red poker and singing the song Wicked Game. There are not many artists that can be simultaneously cute and brilliant, but here’s one. I suspect that is a calculated effect though.
Luxury Hobby of the week number two. Buying totally bare lofts in Manhattan for over $1 milion. For some reason, if you want to read this whole article, you have buy it. Makes sense I suppose, given the content. GO New York Times! $$$
