This week on the blog we discovered, the wonderful public library collection at the Brand Library & Art Center in Glendale, CA, and the lotus bed in Echo Park Lake. We shared photos of Oscar Tuazon’s Live Steam Shift Whistle on The Downs, Bristol, UK, Joe Bradley’s exhibition at Le Consortium, art group Gelitin’s cave art in Costa Rica, and Maria Eisl’s new book 207 Photograms. We announced X-TRA magazine’s open call for applications for their writer-in-residence program in Pasadena, their magazine launch in Berlin, and a little taste of the upcoming fall issue. And, we gave you a sneak peak of the latest install at The Velveteria: Museum of Velvet Paintings.
