Pictures of the American Southwest: by Dan Martensen
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

quote of the day
“character is indeed rare in this world, and it takes only a little intelligence to trim your course as circumstances might require, for who is there to point our your mistakes? thus in politics, realism is always right, even if it is morally wrong.”
