1. The Huffington Post. First thing in the morning.


2. The New York Times. Second thing in the morning.


3. My Google Reader. This keeps me occupied for the rest of the morning/ the day. This is practically not a link, but where my links gather. If you don’t have one, get one.


4. The Bichon Frise in Art. My favorite art show of all times.


5. DListed. The best gossip website, because it’s really funny and smart. Michael K., you are my hero.


6. The Selby. I love interior design. My favorite favorite is offline: The UK magazine The World of Interiors. I look in my The World of Interiors magazines every day. If I wasn’t an art person, I would probably work with interiors. I just opened a gallery in New York, and one of the upcoming exhibitions during the Fall will be an interior design show. By the way, this is what I wish my apartment would look like. I love love love those Big Game chairs.


7. Menswear blogs, such as A Continuous Lean and Selectism. I prefer menswear blogs to womens fashion blogs, because they also write about other things such as cars, wine and people’s offices. And I like men’s clothing. It’s very comfortable and often has nicer ranges of colors and fabrics.  


8. Men.style.com’s ‘In the Closet’ videos, featuring Tyler Thoreson and the fabulous Josh Peskowitz. Make sure to check out the “Jet Set Edition” for great how-to-pack-for-travel tips.


9. Shopping online. Unfortunately I do this too much. Colette, La Garconne, J Crew (The menswear has an “Extra Small” section, great for women), Ebay, Ooga Booga, and Ligia Dias for jewelry.


10. Yo Gabba Gabba. If you have kids and a TV, you already know. If not, check it out! It’s on Nickelodeon, but you can watch a bunch of videos on their website. Party In My Tummy!

Impossible to See the Whole Thing at the Same Time
David Horvitz

Opening: Saturday, June 27th 2009 6-10 PM
Show runs through July 26th

This Saturday, June 27 The Believe Inn welcomes David Horvitz's new exhibition Impossible to See the Whole Thing at the Same Time.

Much of Horvitz's work primarily begins within the virtual world, using email and physical mail paired with travel to create his experiences. Using this as his method, he completes various tasks. One instance, if you send Horvitz one dollar via Paypal, he will think about you for exactly one minute. The upcoming installation, his first solo exhibition in Chicago, will include printouts, photography, and video installation.

In conjunction with the exhibition Golden Age will be curating The Believe Inn Gift Shop, we'll have new treats from Horvitz and many other artists. Also don't miss out on David Horvitz's recent Xiu Xiu Tour Zine and check the classic Cloud Polaroid Poster.

Hall Manufacturing, the one-man-organization that built all of our furniture in two weeks (!), will be hosting a two-part event and installation at [prak-sis] next Saturday and Sunday.

On Saturday an ensemble of musicians from Academy Records attempt to create infinite space and time using recorded loops, repeating rhythms, and repetitive vocals, while on Sunday there is an all ages rhythm workshop exploring improvisation, traditional rhythms, and dynamics. Each participant will be invited to take a Hall-manufactured Cajon drum home at the end of the workshop!
