While clicking through Robin's links yesterday I came across Chunk Chunk Chunk, a collection of found objects, book covers, and ephemera maintained by designer Gary Fogelson and photographer Jacqueline Di Milia. I did my usual obsessive thing of reading every page of their blog last night. Its pretty epic, I suggest you take your time.

Robin Cameron is a Canadian artist living in New York, she is a prolific self-publisher with 11+ titles to her name. Robin showed at Golden Age in April and we co-published a book with her called Mind Maps. 

1. Some youtube watching: The film Mon Oncle changed how I viewed modernism when my Critical Studies teacher screened it in class.


2. Before he became what we know of Jim Henson he made Time Piece, you can see his abstract notions and allusions to his playful experimentation.


3. This is a home spun video from friends Charlie Roberts and Heidi Johansen who live in Norway cook a lot and make beautiful art.
 

4. Some very discerning links and very special found objects from two very discerning friends Gary Fogelson & Jacqueline Di Milia.


5. I think that Denise Despirito puts the best inspiration on her tumblr, its kind of like going on a spirit walk through the internets.


6. Here are a couple of Canadianisms, I just found Liam's work he's finishing up at OCAD and I really like his ephemeral assemblages and whittling.


7. If you haven't seen the Vancouver based Geoffrey Farmer's sculptures you really should because they are fantastic.


8. Jesse B. Harris is my favorite button-maker, word smith and typographer extraordinaire, he proves that punks not actually dead, it's alive & living in a basement in Toronto.


9. Shay Semple has a cynical way about him, but once you get past that you can trust how he posts his wanderings, musings and general opinions. He's a west-coast transplant living in Toronto.


10. The plague is a quiet apocalyptic death knell by Shayne Ehman who lives in the woods on an island in British Columbia with Zooey and their son Axel. Shayne is a comic book drawer, mushroom picker and silent dreamer, listen to some of his music.


11. A couple of Art Readings:

How David Hammons thinks of Art is really a great trip. He doesn't need nobody but inevitably they end up needing him.

Sol Lewitt explains conceptual art. Kind of like his own manifesto of sorts.
