Photo Diary: Sarah Braman at Mitchell-Innes & Nash in Chelsea.

Unfortunately, Sarah Braman’s show at Mitchell-Innes & Nash was last December, which means it has already closed. But, fortunately, I took photos — so you can check out her chopped-up camper meets light-and-spacey glass boxes. The toilet paper is a nice touch. All around, a very enjoyable show.

Great moments in public art.

The disconnect between Wall Street and Main Street.
Dear UC Davis: What. The. Fuck.
My colleague Jenn Hsu has a nice explainer on the Occupy Wall Street kitchen.
On the Media has a highly interesting report on professional wrestling’s labor-issues storyline.
The Clyfford Still Museum opens up in Denver. I kinda like knowing that he was terrified of fire — and by extension, electrical appliances.
Floral designers and merchandise displayers are considered artists according to the NEA.
Totally late on this, but I dig Alissa Walker’s takedown of Breast Cancer Awareness month’s cutesy-pinkness. I couldn’t agree more. And I’m certainly over the whole merch-fication of the disease. Besides, the whole buy-some-crap-and-save-the-world philanthropy model leaves something to be desired. Feels like regular old consumerism in feel-good dressing.
This Os Gemeos exhibit in Brazil looks pretty damn trippy.
For the audio heads: A gathering of vintage sounds. Loooooove #8.
Kill Screen links to a marginally interactive Mercedes ad/film that shows the Google Map universe as a technological dystopia. Hot chick with British accent included.
Cut & Paste Culture, Dead-Tree Edition: A London bookstore caters to seekers of rights-free images.
Are you a zombie? Or a vampire? I think I’m a vampire, with occasional moments of zombie-tude.
