Shakespeare’s invention of the prefix Un- has been put to use in some pretty splendid ways (unreal, unperturbedly, but its place in the North Korean leader’s name seems appropriate. Rumored to have fed his dissenting uncle to 120 starved dogs, Kim Jong Un is quite an uncompassionate and undeserving and unqualified leader. Turning 31 today, Kim Jong Un is certainly swiggin’ some Hennessy with Dennis Rodman and gettin silly. Here’s hoping you have an unsavory and ungainly year Mr.Un! Enjoy […]

Chris Gilmour used to build models out of cardboard as ‘rough drafts’ & mock-ups for larger scale works out of bronze, wood, & stone; when he realized that the cardboard mockups were alluring their own right. “The thing that I like is the contrast between a very poor material, and very beautiful objects, very desirable objects,” Gilmour says of his own work.
