1. Bjorn Button Stool by KAOI
Cute as a button, and stackable as well, the KAOI Bjorn Button Stool uses clever details like lashing on the seat to mimic thread, and contrasting colored seats that can be switched out for a different look. Satin-finished components combine to create a sweet little seat, the bright shades sure to delight alone or in a spiraling stack.
2. Amalgams and Graphts by Nick Cave at Jack Shainman
A titanic figure towers over the spacious gallery, bronze blooms bursting out of the space where a head should be. Intricate cross-stitch work delicately shows aspects of the artist’s face, a first in his iconic career. Cleverly contrasting with the fractured portrait, cutouts of serving trays recall histories of slavery and servitude forced onto black bodies, with the added element of “serving,” a reference to ballroom culture. Nick Cave presents Amalgams and Graphts at Jack Shainman Gallery, inviting the viewer on a distinctly humbling and spiritual experience while also remaining close and intimate, meaning twisting us together as roots.
