I could not resist posting this image of an impressionist Art Cake care of BoingBoing -
I want to see more cakes like this one – this is one of the nicest cakes I’ve ever seen. Wonder how a Cezanne would look as a Cake ….ha!
Checked the Flickr photostream to see if there was any others [...]
The phrase, “Sloppy Craft”, the title of a recent panel discussion and a forthcoming exhibition at Portland’s Contemporary Crafts Museum, had to be checked out. Whatever could it mean? How could the Contemporary Crafts Museum have been drawn into featuring sloppiness? What kind of provocation was intended by the title? …
We’re spending a few days in Napa drinking the new wines. The internet access in the house we rented sucks, so expect more posts when we return to New York on Tuesday, if not sooner.
Enjoy the weekend!

I heard about this opening of Michael Mundy from a facebook friend; on a rainy October night I decided to drop by the opening on the upper east side and found the gallery packed. I would have more to say about the paintings, but the website where they are featured is entirely in Flash, and [...]
So MAO’s guess is most smart photo obsessed people missed this great story about collecting important Photobook in this weekends London Financial Times. Yes.. for those who don’t know.. even in these difficult art times.. Collecting Important Photobooks is now super Hot Hot Hot!

Witnessing the first throngs of yet another busy fair opening, it’s odd to observe what a delicate house of cards this whole art world of ours is, not to mention that I am sat in the ironically flimsy tent of the Frieze Art Fair, this year given an even more …
For a change I went to a Design Meetup that featured Rachel Ashwell of Shabby Chic fame. The meetup was also featured on the ApartmentTherapy.com Website and was well attended (and I ran into one familiar face, @laidbackchick goes to design meetups like this one, often).
The more Rachel Ashwell talked about her artistic approach (and [...]
If you’ve been following the Wooster Collective website for any amount of time, then you know we’re massive supporters (and fans) of how artists are incorporating video content into their work. Over the last few years, we’ve showcased hundreds and hundreds of amazing videos on our site.
So today, working with our good friends over at YouTube, we’re launching an official Wooster Collective video channel that archives and curates some of the best art videos on the web.
Each week we’ll be adding new videos as we find them. From time to time we’ll also be uploading videos of our own. We hope the Wooster channel becomes a “one-stop shop” for people who want to discover amazing artist videos and then be able to follow the work of those artists afterwards. Like the Wooster site, our goal is to lead people to great content that inspires them. We’ll be putting videos into playlists so if you want to immerse yourself in, say, timelapse films or artists interviews, you can.
So late last night we recorded a short intro for the channel that presents our thoughts. Check out the channel when you can and let us know what you think.
Finally, we’ll be in the YouTube offices on Monday morning, so if you work at YouTube, come find us and say hello.
Best,
Marc and Sara
