Today was a great day – after my brunch I was in Soho and remembered that the Droog store had reopened. I walked over and met one of the shop clerks as I had a question. He, it turns out, used to be really into fibers and textiles and told me all about felt artist […]

This week I went to the opening of my new friend’s show that she curated, Re-Accession: For Sale by Owner. I had heard from her about the Ladd brothers but hadn’t seen any of their work. Without realizing it my favorite piece in the show was theirs, 2010 Grenade Calendar, one piece of it is […]

Robert Wechsler is an Ohio-born, Los Angeles-based artist whom I’m not sure how I came across. I know that in my adoration of Design Glut though I have stumbled across many other artists whose work I would classify as ironic.
