Trust Nobody x Methamphibian
(06 July 2006) - Bread & Butter, a fashion fair that travels between Barcelona and Berlin every six months. This behemoth event is so overwhelming that after just a few hours you feel like screaming to be let out of the warren of mega-brands, wishing none of us would ever have to wear clothes again. That’s why the smaller events happening around town make for better bite-sized morsels...

Things and Stuff @ KidRobot
(05 July 2006) - Tara McPherson is having a solo exhibit at KidRobot on Thursday 6 July 2006 where she'll be showing some things and stuff. What? "things and stuff" not descriptive enough for you?

Petah Coyne: Above and Beneath the Skin

The Dream of the Fisherman's Wife
(30 May 2006) - Sebastien Agneesens is a riot of candy-hued balloons suggestive of the sensual sea creatures in the original. Unlike Hokusai's nearly 200 year-old print, the thousands of balloons that make up the show are an ephemeral medium; Hackenwerth sees the shrinking and shriveling that occurs as a "process of transformation metaphorically similar to our own short lives." More info and a flyer, after the jump....
