In this recurring column, we highlight a few items we've run across that don't merit a full story of their own but are interesting enough to bring to your attention. This time we look at Wilton-Steer, Dylan Hausthor, Teatro Ridicolo, the Museum of Oddities and AppexIndexer.
- Kate Mothes presents A Contemporary View of an Ancient Trade Route from Christopher Wilton-Steer's 25,000 mile journey from China to Rome. ‘He captures elaborate mosaic ceilings like those of the Tash Hauli Palace in Khiva, Uzbekistan, or the Shrine of Fatima Masumeh in Qom, Iran. And traces of medieval cities, like Ani in Turkey, sit timelessly in vast landscape," she writes.
- Mee-Lai Stone features images from Dylan Hausthor's What the Rain Might Bring. "Hausthor's lyrical visions delve into themes of storytelling, faith, folklore and the inherent queerness of nature," she writes. "Small-town gossip, relationships to the land, the mysteries of wildlife, the drama of humanity and the unpredictability of human spectacle inspire the stories in these images and installations."
- Suzanne Sease showcase Teatro Ridicolo -- a Farce in 28 Collages, the personal project of Clemens Ascher. "My initial basic idea was to stage a play as a photo and collage series," he writes. "I draw my inspirations from across art history and various cultural influences. From the theatre, painting, photography and collage art throughout the centuries."
- Abigail Vân Neely documents in words and photos Willie Kremen's Museum of Oddities, a 2,000-square-foot storage unit in San Francisco's Bayview district. "Makeshift aisles snake between towers of cardboard boxes blooming with mold. As Kremen wanders through, his head of wiry hair bumps into lightbulbs hanging from the pipes, though he barely seems to notice," she writes.
- Howard Oakley has releases the first version of his free AppexIndexer. "App extensions, appexes, have become plentiful and widely used by macOS and third-party software, yet discovering and controlling them is patchy and limited," he writes. "Please let me know what features you'd like the app to support, whether you'd like it to access appex property lists or other useful data and how you might want to use a future version."
More to come! Meanwhile, here's a look back. And please support our efforts...
