a visual collective outlet of inspiration
some nice pieces by kasimir malevich, more famously known for his “black square”. they speak of the still boldness that enlivened russia’s 1915 movement of suprematism that he founded and brought to life. i can think of at least one person who should relate to these. by kl
cindy sherman, just being herself… for mac
looks like MAC is veering off the pretty-glam-path with talk of an upcoming partnership with gareth pugh, and also in a collaboration with their new covergirl, cindy sherman (you should know who cindy sherman is by now, garath too for that matter) who, for the limited-edition collection has taken MAC’s motto of ‘power of transformation’ for her own interpretation by creating one of her signature characters per color story. interesting. i love cindy, and am sure this is not meant to sell, but to reinforce that MAC is not afraid to play. and neither should we. by kl

another favorite kaiser karl quote is:
“…vanity is the best motivation.”

DONALD JUDD – 101 SPRING
donald judd building on spring street is being renovated at the moment, scaffolding are hiding the beautiful cast iron building where the artist applied this theory: each floor should have one purpose: sleeping, eating, working… and nothing else here. nice booklet documenting the place in a more intimate way here! by pp.
Peter Eisenman: Denkmal für die ermordeten Juden Europas
beautiful sculptural piece by architect peter eisenman in memorial of the holocaust in berlin. i wish i had done this. whether you are a norwegian conservative racist, of not, you must be awed by this piece of work. simply epic… as it should be, and in my opinion eisenman’s finest, just wish i could say the same about the many over-rated eisenman buildings. by dd
ethel granger
ethel granger was the woman with the smallest waist size in history…13 inches diameter… she was only taking her corsets off for shower, and was wearing her necklace as belt. weird. by pp.

Monteverdi automobile: the 1970’s Haute couture car
swiss made monteverdi was the car of kings in the 1970’s… (and some dictators with the needed cash). very few were made, and exported making it an almost unknown manufacturer.
do note in the film, that the original range rover was fully influenced by monteverdi safari 4×4, the first of its kind. i remember the car and its image from my childhood and for a bit, i was beginning to think it was really a figment of my imagination as no one seemed to respond when i would mention the name. i finally came across this which restored my confidence in my memory. hope you enjoy. by dd
