if you are in NYC, check out Ray Smith’s new show at Parade Ground. Keep your eyes peeled for various Wasserman-related references.
check out these old photos of Soho by Jaime Davidovich seen via the SoHo memory project. On their site, you can also see a video he took in 1975.
Anni Albers was an artist and designer with an intellectual and serious approach. She worked primarily in textile and industrial design.
Her books, On Designing (which i currently have on hand) and On Weaving, offer her whole view on design and provide a greater meaning of craft.
She also made very clever, household-object jewelry. These Anni Albers kits where put out by Urban Outfitters a while ago.
the last piece of jewelry…of washers and fabric tape, inspired my DIY for Chalkboard Magazine a while back.
You can see more of Anni and her partner (artist) Josef Albers’ work at their exhaustive foundation website here. I couldn’t resist sharing some pictures of the young and old lovebirds.
if you are in NYC, check out the cutely and appropriately named pop up shop, Pretty Conceptual, which sounds like it’s going to be pretty awesome. Make sure to look at what my pal Emily Spivack will be hawking.
more about the sale in Present Company’s own words.
Present Company is pleased to announce Pretty Conceptual, the second iteration of our ongoing Present Projects series. Hosted in the back room of our gallery, these temporary invasions by guest colleagues serve to compliment our exhibition programming through experimental entrepreneurial endeavors. .Pretty Conceptual is a concept store tailored to pretty conceptual lifestyles. It appeals to those who analyze the semiotics of greeting cards but never end up sending one; crave the latest gadgets but fetishize glitches and outmoded media; and enjoy products that poetically fail to live up to their grandiose promises.
Products span numerous lifestyle categories, including mind alteration, self-improvement, cutting-edge technology and fashion. You will find things that you didn’t know you needed. Prices will defy expectations.
Pretty Conceptual features products by Angie Waller, Badlands Unlimited, Eric Doeringer, David Horvitz, Katarina Jerinic, Kristin Lucas, Sarah Nicholls, Yoshua Okón, Emily Spivack, Squareeater, Ryland Wharton, and Julia Weist.

when I was like 6 or something, my parent’s took me to the Charles Allis Museum in Milwaukee, where there was a craft textiles, mostly embroidery and weaving. It blew me away. I came home and made myself a loom out of a piece of cardboard and proceeded to make many, many small woven pieces and give them to my parents and ask them to put them up in the hallway. I think one piece actually was in the upstairs hall for a while…
In any case, i’ve been thinking about weaving lately, and will be posting some textile artists….we’ll start with Lenore Tawley‘s work.
