Now that I’m back in Boston I’m focusing on the museums, artists, and groups around me as I’m sure you can tell a little. One museum that has several Pokate-bound artists in its sculpture park is the DeCordova Museum, outside of the city in Lincoln. One amazing sculptor on display out there is Tom Chapin, […]

As I’ve mentioned before, my friend Philae is basically my source for all things good and right in the contemporary art world. She just took an amazing new job at 20×200 and thus far she has already been exposing me to such great artists/reminding me to continually check in on the site as they get […]

As we decorate our new place we have tons of artwork propped up against the walls that we’re trying to decide what should go where. Charlotte showed me one big piece she has a plan for the other night and it got me thinking — I have no room in my room for new things […]

One of the artists at auction was Tanya Aguiniga, whose work I missed when I went to the press preview a few weeks ago. Tanya has a MFA in furniture design from RISD, which […]

Just down the block from me in New York is the School of Visual Arts — there are constantly art students out on the street working, talking and putting together shows in their various buildings. One former student there recently caught my eye with her work in buttons, Ran Hwang, who I came across on […]

Clearly I’m getting more and more into lighting. Jeff Zimmerman is a glassblower who makes some amazing works. As a former glassblower myself I can attest that what he does is not easy by any sense of the word. But the coolest thing about Jeff is his life story. Both of his parents were artists […]

Chris Labrooy seems to focus on graphic design but he made a lamp that I had to share — as it’s out of felt. This lamp is constructed felt over an acrylic dome — so simple but yet so so beautiful. I’m not sure what kind of a house could hold it but I want […]
