Brooklyn Museum Sun K. Kwak Enfolding 280 Hours




I was recently at the Brooklyn Museum and saw this great exhibit by artist Sun K. Kwak. The exhibit is made completely from black masking tape. I think Sun's idea has a lot of potential for event design and lobby spaces because it is removable and can serve as a really cool temporary installation. Sun K. Kwak is a New York based artist and the title of the exhibit 'Enfolding 280 Hours' is the estimated amount of time the exhibit took to make. March 27 - July 5th.

Housing Works Design on a Dime Benefit






I had the pleasure of attending the Design on a Dime Benefit last night. The event was sponsored by Sears and Kmart and cochaired by Parker Posey and James Huniford. The event featured 50 room "vignettes" decorated by designers. New and vintage furniture and hosewares from the vingettes was sold at 60-80% off. There were some amazing deals to be had! And all of the proceeds went to Housing Works' facility the Stand Up Harlem House for low-income individuals and families affected by HIV and Aids. Overall the event was a lot of fun and a great success! Here are some photos I took at the event.
