I'm a sucker for a fancy grocery store and this one combines Erewhon-esque vibes with old-school grocer energy. It's been around for over 100 years and the name of the founder has been lost to time! They've got everything: gorgeous produce, prepared foods, sushi, baked goods, amazing frozen yogurt. My grandpa used to bring me here as a kid and it really reminds me of an earlier iteration of NYC, one that still somewhat lives on in the mannerisms of the old folks on the Upper East Side.

thinking of her, always and forever. particular favorites from her oeuvre are the 'silueta' series (selection depicted below), rupestrian sculptures, and body tracks (1982). taken from this world violently and far, far too soon.

in the vein of mj's Internet Archive rec and caardamom's follow-up on the Wayback Machine, i point you towards Ubuweb, which describes itself as "a pirate shadow library consisting of hundreds of thousands of freely downloadable avant-garde artifacts." i usually find myself perusing the short films or dance sections, but there's so much of the avant-garde to explore!

i think i'm a little late on this one because it came out near the end of last year, but got a few friends together to see this at a local indie theater. none of us had any idea what we were getting into, and i think that really worked, so i'm not going to share too much beyond saying that it was zany, funny, and shot beautifully.
