Hazel Larsen Archer: Elizabeth Schmidtt Jennnerjahn and Robert Raunchenberg c.1948

TI's been in summer transit and almost missed this update from reader Phil Taylor who curated a truly elegant show at the Robert Mann Gallery . My Taylor sent us this message which made us curious about exploring his show. I adore the above image. Great design idea too.

Robert Mann is located at 210 11th Avenue in NY.

All hail Janine Rostron. Berlin based, London born, this musician/conceptual-artist has been flirting with a wider audience via her LCD Soundsystem opening slots but a tingle in the air tells us she's about to get rocked on some serious SS 09 runways.

Dem Bones: 2008: William Castle

TI is happy that American designer William Castle has a career that spans the era of the Mod 60's to the current moment with its Computer Assisted Design aesthetic. Castle's faniciful forms that he pioneered have now been recontextulaized using today's technology. Rather than just re-issue, he rethought which is the big big challenge in design. We worship.

Chris Burden: Big Pointy # 1: 2006

There is something to be said about viewing a show that highlights some of the most iconic pieces in contemporary art history. This show includes work by Richard Avedon, Richard Prince, Douglas Gordon and my emotional favorite, Chris Burden. Oh that infamous bullet!

Tobias Madison's: Yes I Can: 2008

TI can't afford, right this minute a Lucio Fontana slash painting but he can dream about the latest pieces by Tobias Madison, whose solo show "Yes I Can" shows at the agnes b's Galarie du Jour until July 19th in Paris. Its a very clever collection of ideas ranging from photography to installations.
