Vivienne Westwood

This one post on mintcar sent me on a mad spiral this weekend. I forgot how great Vivienne Westwood is! What a character. And still producing such beautiful, interesting and culturally relevant things after all this time. I love to see how her creativity and talent has grown into such a force to be reckoned with.

Here is part 2 to that video that mintcar posted and some other good videos are here, here, here (wish there was less "Duran" and more VW in this one but there you go...), here, and here.

Play These All At Once

I have been meaning to try this for awhile. I made these movies months and months ago on my old camera and always thought they would be nice played all at once.

I have a few more like this - maybe I will try this same thing with them too...

That Was Fast

It took a whole day to get there and back but the train ride was beautiful.

Here are a few quick links before I am out the door.

...the lovely Nothing is New blog has a super post on the Whole Earth Catalog (something I have been meaning to talk about for months and months!)...
...I missed the Olaf Breuning show at Metro Pictures. I don't know how I did that. What a bummer. But at least you can see it online...
...I liked the look of this little zine by Himaa at Nieves. And I really like all the other things too on the artist website...
...2 great links from ah-yi. A post on weaving with a handmade loom and a link to a pattern by Yohji Yamamoto!...

Okay - I must be off - back again soon!

I heard somewhere that this painting by Elizabeth Peyton is going up in her New Museum exhibition now that the results are in.

So exciting. I am so glad I was here to witness the sea change.

Let's bring on some better times...

Roberta Ridolfi

I like these photographs by Roberta Ridolfi. I couldn't find that much about her on the internet - just that she is a photographer from Rome, based in London since 1999 - (info via this blog). I really love that first image...
