Covetable...Woman by Common Projects

Collaboration between Flavio Girolami and Prathan Poopat started in 2004 in an attempt to create the perfect sneaker. With backgrounds in graphics and industrial design, they are inspired by the lines and shapes of everyday objects. Pieces are designed with a tailored approach, integrating minimal utilitarian design with luxury materials.

Must See...Lygia Clark: The Abandonment of Art at MoMA NYC

I have always loved a good title. In fact most of my art works and creatives projects begin with a well parsed phrase that informs whatever it is I am making.  I even thought of the name for my jewelry line a couple of years before I built and launched my first capsule collection.  So when I read the title of Lygia Clark's post-humus homage at MoMA, I was hooked. The show features the work of this Brazilian conceptual artist made between 1948 and her death in 1988. The New York Times review titled: "See me. Feel me.  Maybe Drool on me", had me high tailing it to midtown to see the flexible sculptures, small paintings and wall reliefs for myself. And what a treat.  Run there if you can.  On view through the end of August.
