My friend & neighbor Jamie Wolfond asked twenty-three fellow designers to remake the wall clock. The results are on view in Milan until April 13. I copy edited & proofed the small accompanying publication. Some highlights: www.dezeen.com/2025/04/07/d...

This Carrier EP is extremely my shit in a way that nothing else this year has quite been. Sam Valenti sold me on it by saying it’s “impeccable, featherweight, but still hardbody digital dub with photekian clean room sheen.” Need to listen in a float tank. 0207carrier.bandcamp.com/album/tender...

Very niche skeet: can someone help me make a Flexoki custom theme for Bear? I can pay a small bounty, or edit/write something for you as barter. stephango.com/flexoki www.reddit.com/r/bearapp/co...

I don’t say this often enough: my friend Ross and I are building Valise, the best inventory software for artists. We want it to be easy to keep track of your work; the admin side of running a studio shouldn’t be difficult, and information is power. Please share with artists you know! valise.works

Nell Zink, being inimitable, as ever: “The NYT would be an odd choice of venue to air my conscious shortcomings, especially in writing. 📰 editors treasure the indiscretions their journalists coax out of me on the phone …, but you can’t expect me to do it to myself.” www.nytimes.com/2025/03/20/b...

Twelve years ago, while working at Aperture, I went to Vija Celmins’s studio to see about doing an article (or a book, or a show) about her relationship to photography. Nothing came of it, as happens, but finally there’s an article in the Spring 2025 issue—an interview with Richard Learoyd.

Today 4AD releases an expanded thirtieth-anniversary edition of one of my desert-island discs: Unrest’s “Perfect Teeth.” I can’t count the number of hours this record has accompanied me, or the varied moods it’s suited. 🖤 Ordering on vinyl now … 4ad.com/releases/1065

Proofreading a very big book. When I’ve finished a chapter & am going back to look at typesetting details, rewarding myself with 1990s-era emo hits. Forgot how great it was that Rainer Maria’s two singers started the album “Past Worn Searching” by yelling “Goddamit!” in unison.

Maxwell Graham Gallery is being clever (complimentary). "This Artwork Did Not Sell" is a show of works from previous gallery solo shows that … didn’t sell; each hangs exactly where it was in that previous show. Opens tonight in NYC. Of course there’s no info here: maxwellgraham.biz/exhibitions/...

So happy to hear new music (for the first time in a decade!) from Hiorthøy; the lead single is as delicately poised as ever. He’s also a talented artist who’s had ~10 shows at Standard (Oslo) and set the visual direction for Norway’s electronic & jazz scenes with hundreds of album covers.
