goodgood's WinterHue in Boston Globe

Congrats to my brother for the write up in the Boston Globe yesterday:

"Hypnotic, too, is “WinterHue,’’ a project by the artist duo of Ben Gaydos and Karen Stein, known as goodgood, and Colin Owens of Owens Design. The understated banner of softly glowing lights made up of 36 LED light modules in a stack of windows at the corner of 368 Congress St. segues through a rainbow of colors. It would be easy to miss if you weren’t looking for it, but there’s an appeal to its meditative rhythm and tones."

Label and Leaf

I happened upon Christoph Niemann's leaf cuts published in the New York Times Blogs back in November but hadn't posted about them until today.

Tongue-in-cheek and very inventive.

He's also recently written a children's book, The Pet Dragon.

Rauschenberg on everyday design...

"I feel really sorry for people who think things like soap dishes or mirrors or Coke bottles are ugly, because they're surrounded by things like that all day long, and it must make them miserable."

-Robert Rauschenberg 1925-2008

Sleeping and Dreaming

The Wellcome Collection, a gallery in London, is hosting an exhibition on "Sleeping & Dreaming."

This seems to be a perfect fit for an organization that focuses on Medicine Life and Art.

Themes include:

• Dead Tired
• Traces of Sleep
• Dream Worlds
• Elusive Sleep
• A World Without Sleep?

The show runs November 29th, 2007 through March 9th, 2008 and is free to the public.
Gallery: 183 Euston Road, London NW1 2BE
