Chelsea

I took a trip to the East Coast a couple weeks back and was able to see Philippe Parreno's Suicide in Vermillion Sands exhibit at the Friedrich Petzel Gallery. His sketches felt like my brain on paper, plastered all over those walls in bright red pastel. There was a little back room where a magician made things disappear. I missed the magician. This is what I saw instead:



Perrano had listed the names of the 31 graphic designers from whose art he had derived his inspiration for the show. I didn't know that at the time, but had felt like writing all their names down... since I didn't, I now have a little Treasure Hunt ahead of me.
