Eurobus book out now on Matmos Press (Montreal)
I just bought this book and love it! The first place I cracked it open was on my bus ride home. Pretty sure the boring blue MTA bus I was on felt a little envious.

This autumn the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art launched the first in an annual series of exhibitions devoted to the Scottish Colourists. The Scottish Colourist Series: FCB Cadell is the first major retrospective of his work to be held in a public gallery in almost seventy years and brings together almost 80 paintings, from collections across the UK, many of which have rarely, if ever, been shown in public before.
Francis Campbell Boileau Cadell (1883-1937) is one of the four artists popularly known as ‘The Scottish Colourists’, along with S. J. Peploe, J. D. Fergusson and G. L. Hunter. Cadell’s work is perhaps the most elegant of the four: he is renowned for his stylish portrayals of Edinburgh New Town interiors and the sophisticated society that occupied them; equally celebrated are his vibrantly coloured, daringly simplified still-lives of the 1920s, and his evocative landscapes of the island of Iona. — ArtDaily

“The entablature is an architectural element resembling a band or molding lying horizontally above the columns of a building. Originating in the architecture of ancient Greece, the motif was also abundantly represented in America in the early twentieth-century Beaux-Arts and Greco-Roman revival style used for public buildings such as museums and libraries. Lichtenstein’s Entablatures comprised of a first series of paintings from 1971-72, followed by a second series in 1974-76, and the publication of a series of relief prints in 1976.” [source]

Tobias Wong, a Canadian artist and designer whose star was rising fast, died last year at the age of 35—“or, more specifically, 13,138 days,” reports the design blog Colossal. As a tribute, Wong’s friend Frederick McSwain made a portrait of Wong using exactly that number of dice, arranged on the floor without adhesive. Die was shown at Gallery R’Pure in New York City in May. “The idea of a die was appropriate,” McSwain tells Colossal, because it represents “the randomness of life.”
