Rascal House @ Half Gallery

Half Gallery presents Rascal Housea collaborative project conceived by and including Blair Thurman along with John Armleder, Justin Adian, and Stรฉphane Kropf. The exhibition is the result of a strange confluence of memory, sensory perception, and association (both free and mediated): a 3-D painting installation-cum-diner booth born of historical, personal, aesthetic and ulterior connections.  Rascal House will be on view until February 4, 2015 at Half Gallery, 43 East 78th Street, New York. photographs by Paige Silveria

[LITERATURE] What We Lose In Flowers

Karma bookstoreโ€˜s in-house publishing house just released a novella, entitled What We Lose in Flowers, by  art dealer and curator Bill Powers which tells the story of a Peter Beard, an artist in a failing relationship with a younger woman who used to date his son. The book opens with a quote from John Currin, โ€œCulture is for old people. When youโ€™re young you have your body, and thatโ€™s all you need,โ€ and is dedicated to the recently deceased John McWhinnie, who introduced the artist Richard Prince (who designed the incredible DVD sticker cover) and Mr. Powers. This is actually a second book from Mr. Powers, a former editor at Blackbook, whose first was a novel titled Tall Island. You can purchase the book here.
