Thanks to Old Chum for making me smile during a bad day/week/month.  Loving this photo.  The deer on top is the best dressed one in the photo, am I right? Sorry y’all, no indication of origin-  Tumblr blogs are like that.

Square America just uploaded this great little silent home video from someone’s Halloween dinner party in 1939. It’s very cute- the final shot is the best! Hope you all have a fun and safe Halloween weekend. I’m going here to see Bonnie Prince Billy (Will Oldham) perform, and I’m looking forward to it.

Congrats to the Walker team on a great re-design.  Super sexy makeover, guys!

More from the Cline Library archive that I mentioned here. Absolutely in love with all the weaving photos.

From this amazing archive.  Spend some time here.  Seriously- such a rich resource.  I found this site via An Ambitious Project Collapsing and stumbled my way to some amazing photos.

A recent aquisition to my potted succulent collection.  I thought at a glance that there were flowers on top, but they’re actually leaves!  I think it must be a recent variegation, because I can’t find much info on this species.  I think it’s lovely, don’t you? I found a handmade pale green matte glazed pot to go with it.

Freaking gorgeous, this book.  Designed in part by our friend Dante Hong Carlos who now designs at the Walker Art Center.   This is a purchase in our near future..

‘Yves Klein: With the Void, Full Powers’ is published to accompany the first major retrospective of the artist’s work in the United States in nearly 30 years. It includes examples from all of Klein’s major series, including his Anthropometries, Cosmogonies, fire paintings, planetary reliefs and blue monochromes, as well as selections of his lesser-known gold and pink monochromes, body and sponge reliefs, “air architecture” and immaterial works. Essays by curators Kerry Brougher and Philippe Vergne, Klein scholar Klaus Ottmann, art historian Kaira M. Caba?as and curatorial fellow Andria Hickey, as well as archival materials and translations of Klein’s published and unpublished writings, offer insights into the artist’s endeavors and process. Born in Nice, France, in 1928, Yves Klein created what he considered his first artwork when he signed the sky above Nice in 1947, making his earliest attempt to capture the immaterial. The artist carved out new aesthetic and theoretical territory based on his study of the mystical sect Rosicrucianism, philosophical and poetic investigations of space and science, and the practice of Judo, which he described as “the discovery of the human body in a spiritual space.”

Reminds me of:

Jello gif is from here and the slime mold gif from here.  I previously posted the slime mold gif here, but today when I saw the Jello gif, I started laughing thinking of the gross similarity to the slime mold animation.  Enjoy!
