A classmate and I were commenting on how we were tempted to sit on a cardboard chair by Frank Gehry at an exhibition at the Walker Art Center. We were wondering if it was comfortable. A man approached us and said it was and how he was sincerely sad we couldn’t try it. It was Gehry himself. Nice guy.

Following Sarah’s lead on advent calendar reveals, and my lead to forget and thus open two at once, here are days one and two. It appears there’s a theft in progress at the LRB shop and Sauron is back.
