the thing


this sounds like a super cool way to collect real art! the thing is an object-based quarterly publication. each issue of the thing will be conceived of by an individual artist, wrapped by the editors (john herschend and will rogan) and sent to the subscribers. the first four artists creating objects for the thing are: miranda july; ann walsh, kota ezawa and trisha donnelly. to subscribe click here.

(thanks lisa for the tip!)

You have been officially tagged...play along, won't you........xoxox

Players list 8 facts/habits about themselves. The rules of the game are posted at the beginning before those facts/habits are listed. At the end of the post, players then tag 8 people by posting their names and make sure they know they’ve been tagged by leaving a comment at the tagee’s blog.

i LOVE miranda july's work. it may just be worth to shell out $120 bucks just for her package alone! thanks so much for sharing this project....I'll be saving my pennies too.
