Your Own Little Cabin in SF

...which probably still has a monthly rent exceeding $2,000.

Jenny Chapman and Mark Reigelman recently constructed this temporary rustic cabin on Bush Street at Grant. The installation piece should be up through October, so you have ample time to check it out!

Her Secret is Patience

Janet Echelman's latest installation piece, "Her Secret is Patience", was inaugurated last night in Phoenix, Arizona. During the day, it may look like a bit of tangled fisherman net;but at night, it lights up like a jellyfish under a blacklight.

Janet is known for her large and elegant netting sculptures that often mimic undersea creatures. Here are some of her past pieces...

Melting Man

Though far less of a spectacle than Burning Man, Nele Azevedo's installation piece is still a fun concept.

don't slip

Stefan Sagmeister has a show in Soho related to the books we were looking at yesterday, 20 Things I Have Learned in my Life So Far. The exhibit includes 7,200 bananas on the largest wall of the gallery, highlighting one of the twenty, "self confidence produces fine results." Bananas were mailed as invitations to the opening. It's been on view for 3 weeks and will close tomorrow.

Since the giant inflatable monkey flanking the banana wall can't eat them (poor little monkey), this certainly begs the question -- is this an enormous waste of perfectly good bananas or a sculpture that will avoid the eventual landfill and become compost? It's a slippery slope.
