since i woke up and discovered this (albeit a little late) this morning, my brain has been doing somersaults. it is as if david lynch, john zorn and jacques brel all got together in some universal realm and created this incredibly forceful piece. the whole album, bish bosch is released on december third in the uk, and december fourth in the us. walker’s fourteenth studio album to date. by sv

the recent launch of dan martensen‘s monograph, pictures of the american southwest at milk gallery, which is available online here, was the perfect reminder to all of us real or assimilating new yorkers the importance to take a deep breath and appreciate some expansive silence. there is beauty in the dilemma of an undefinable space enabling a quarantine of inspiration, and sun-washed fleuro future memories to boot. life. real life. it doesn’t have to try to be beautiful, you simply have to see it. by kl

the willy rizzo gallery on rue de la verneuil
girl by rizzo, not included
*well this one slides open doesn’t it mrs. rizzo? approximately 10,000 euros in white
my parents had a silver and black circular bar when i was a little boy that swung open* to reveal a mirrored-interior filled with crystal glasses and decanters. very shag i must say…. i saw this piece by italian photographer and artist, willy rizzo in paris and got all excited but rizzo’s wife kindly extinguished my flame by telling me that ours was “probably a knock off” as rizzo’s originals did not open… oh well i had no idea who willy rizzo was til yesterday, but i must say i find him fascinating and will surely look into his work in the next decade of my life… that is if i make it out of paris alive. by xy
