this week is Art Basel week in Paris!

stopped by the private view at Esther Schipper Gallery and saw this AI lenticular print & custom frame by Anicka Yi. A great way to present AI art imo, using form & display to question where human, biological & technological matter starts, ends and where they become one.

thank you WC for giving me $5 on my birthday (โ—•โ€ฟโ—•โœฟ) i made it
just found out that the teaser for the 'Chรขteau de Lumiรจres' exhibition at Chรขteau de Vincennes has been released! as a part of my role as the Artistic Manager at Artpoint, I contributed a lil' curation to this show.

if you're in /paris from the 18th Oct - 2nd Nov, go visit!

"This weekend I went on a girl walk..."

My (first!) @paragraph post discusses the walk I went on yesterday, reflecting on what it means to take a stroll through the city as a woman or nonbinary person, feminism, and anti-capitalism.
for those interested, i went to The Real McCoyโ€™s in the 7th and they have pumpkin puree! Last year they had Libbyโ€™s; this year itโ€™s a different brand but Iโ€™m sure itโ€™ll do just as good a job. :)

โ€˜Itโ€™s an amazing thing to wake up in the morning, to make yourself a cup of tea or something, to start scribblingโ€ฆ without having any idea what it is youโ€™re after. And then you try with a computer, and what you were dreaming of slowly starts to unfold.โ€

anyone going to see an exhibition this weekend?

comment below if so; iโ€™d love to know more about it!
this week i built :

- the strategy & collaboration with a (major!) artist for /lanparty's next major project. planning on announcing it next week, so follow the channel to keep in the loop. :-)

- wrapped up the 'Mantras for Curators' Tokyo collection with artist @lxtxcx. This will be coming @zora very soon!
channel changes have taken place.

in the interest of keeping this channel as open as possible, i've just gone through and invited anyone i know, my friends, and anyone who works in art, is art-adjacent, or is interested in art to be a member of /curation.

if i've missed you, please comment & let me or @omlet know!
anyone know where i can get pumpkin puree (American style - for pumpkin pie and other pumpkin sweets) in Paris? ๐ŸŽƒ

I ask myself this every year and i still haven't figured it out loool. feel like it's the Americans-in-Paris' best kept secret.
"The World At Our Command" (2024) by Bobbi Essers

currently exhibited at Unit London (wish I could see it!).

as i'm sure you've heard, channels are changing tomorrow. what does this mean for /curation?

as of now, i strongly believe the /curation channel should be open to whoever would like to post about an exhibition they've attended, share essays and resources on curating, or even seek advice and exchange ideas with other curators.

i have temporarily removed moderation on the channel so that anyone who has casted and appeared in the 'main feed' will automatically become members.

question re: channel membership migrations :

from what i've read in the Notion, followers of a channel that have casted into the channel and appeared on 'main feed' will automatically become members.

will there be a way to invite *all* current followers of a channel to become members? instead of manually selecting people one by one?
if you love something and you're not critical of it, do you really love it?

things i'm thinking about right now:

streaming, permacomputing, Monster Hunter Wilds, gardening as an anti-capitalistic act, /humankind candles and our lil' group chat (props to @samantha on doing such a great job with this), indie web, easter eggs, pumpkin pie.
