Kelly Tunstall at 111 Minna

Kelly Tunstall is a favorite of ours here at We Love Art & Design. Thursday September 8th is the opening of her newest solo show The Secret State at 111 Minna.
The Secret State examines civilization’s long romance with the examination of the space that we inhabit and our scale within it; the exhibition itself is aimed not at providing any comprehension of our universe’s truths, but instead, at celebrating the joy of discovering new clues to their elaborate puzzles and the spaces between.  Large and small works present a think tank of characters; a seer, a scientist/naturualist, an astronomer, and a doctor/engineer all bravely led by Alexander the Great and a shape-shifting machine.  This solo exhibition includes the largest works of Tunstall’s career, some archaic drawing methods, some site-specific installations, and a reinterpretation of the Eames’ classic power of 10.  Join us at 111 Minna in exploring our greatest human powers: curiosity and imagination; where freckles become entire star systems and seemingly empty spaces become maps to constellations of atoms.

NPR is streaming Bon Iver's recent concert, the second of two sold-out performances at Washington, D.C.'s 9:30 Club, recorded August 2. Bon Iver finds a good balance of new material from its excellent album, Bon Iver, and classic cuts from 2008's For Emma, Forever Ago. There's even a cover of Bjork's "Who Is It." The nine-member band assembled for this tour, includes two drummers and a horn section featuring bass saxophonist Colin Stetson. Check it out here.
