And if you can convince your program to throw in some travel dollars (from Philly next year…), happy show up in person to have your students yell at me about how I was wrong to say X in article Y! 🍅🍅🍅

First week in August syllabus drafting reminder: If you assign anything I’ve written, I’m always happy to zoom into your class! Or if you just want to have your students discuss what public art they think is v v great or v v dumb, always happy to do that too!

and now for something good: architecture people, design people, urbanists! most aesthetically innovative/ distinctive public (maybe government maybe just public access) buildings constructed in the U.S. in the C21?

"Are you wearing the—" "The airbrushed T-shirt version of the 1974 artwork Lynda Benglis ran as an ad in Artforum printed as an almost unrecognizably ethereal palimpsest on a sheer, beaded, short-sleeved dress in the Dior Haute Couture F/W 26-27 collection? Yeah, yeah I am." greg.org/archive/2026...

a thin fair skinned model with straight dark hair back wears an off white tshirt style dress in sheer organza i think with intermittent strings of beads, that comes to her mid calf. there is a faintly painted or printed outline in airbrushed rainbow colors of a figure, and the faint letters artf across the chest. the model stands on a black parquet floor with palm fronts behind her, and holds a platinum colored pleated metallic bag. this is from the lynda benglis inspired dior haute couture show, and the figure alluded to on the dress is benglis, posing with a giant double dildo for a work she published in artforum in 1974 as an advertisement. but none of that is really legible in this five-figure made to order garment

"You've finished the manuscript. Now what?" Usually I eat Cocoa Krispies while wearing my pajamas for a week or so, while the cat doesn't know where to sit because there are papers on every inch of the floor and other vertical surfaces. Oh. Uh oh. You mean professionally....
