sarah lucas's bunny -- gaurdian interview with the artist here.
francesca woodman's retrospective opens in march at the guggenheim here in nyc. the show began its tour at the sf moma in november. i'm eagerly awaiting the opening.
to tide me and you over, friend, photographer, artist, elli chung has created a beautiful little homage to woodman. she's posted her images over at her blog, paris and other places.
"all other images," frieze's piece on luigi ghirri and his work from the december 2011 issue.
i cant get viviane sassen's pictures out of my mind since seeing them last month at moma's new photography show. the museum included images from sassen's parasomnia series.
this morning i was thinking about how a photograph can be a sculpture and sassen's images came to mind.
the transformation of her subjects from real, grounded entities to elements in service to the image is striking.
i just fell a little bit in love with street style again.
everybody street will hopefully show at the seaport museum this winter.
the above is photographer albert von schrenck-notzing's image of a medium's "emission and resorption of an ectoplasmic substance through the mouth." the image was made in 1913. i saw the picture this weekend while looking through the perfect medium: photography and the occult. the book is a cataloge from the show of the same name held at the metropolitan museum of art in 2005.

from the website about the film:
The Phantom Tollbooth turns 50 this year, and we've joined Norton Juster and Jules Feiffer, Milo and Tock, and a host of authors, critics, teachers and kids, to celebrate the classic 1961 children's book, by making the definitive documentary film about this beloved work of the American imagination.
toni frissell made the image above -- it was used for bill evans' 1963 jazz piano album, undercurrent.
