Current Obsessions: The City in Autumn

Ahead this weekend: not one but four soon-to-open exhibits, plus a tiny shop in upstate NY, wineglasses “inspired by 16th-century still life,” and more.

• On our reading list: Women’s Work: From Feminine Arts to Feminist Art by Ferren Gipson, who will also be part of an upcoming exhibition at Hauser & Wirth in LA. (And take a tour of Ferren’s own place in Kitchen of the Week: An American In London Creates Her Dream Ikea Hack Kitchen.)
• In addition to being a longtime Remodelista editor (and co-author of our newest book, Remodelista: The Low-Impact Home), Margot is the artist behind Dog Walk Diary. Next Saturday, October 22, from 2-7 p.m., she’ll be at Abroad Modern in Cambridge, MA, for the opening of a new exhibit showcasing her ephemeral botanical arrangements. Stop in for refreshments and to say hello (or take a virtual foraging walk with Margot in How I Became an Accidental Leaf Artist).
• Julie is eager to stop into The Rabbit Hole, Priscilla Woolworth’s shop near Hudson, NY. “My tiny shop has things that I have found, grown, or made,” Priscilla wrote of the shop. “You are welcome to check out my Cabinet of Natural Curiosities, as well as chose a free item from my giveaway area.” Find more info via Priscilla’s Instagram.
• Opening Thursday, October 27 at Tiwa Select, 181 Mott Street in NYC: “Moments of Fulfillment”, textile works by Megumi Shauna Arai, with “an ensemble of folding screens inspired by shoji (Japanese room dividers), each representing the changing seasons.”
• Italian furniture brand Moroso is opening a new flagship, designed with Studio Urquiola, at 105 Madison Avenue, NYC; take a look.
• And Muuto has taken over a SoHo flat at 23 Greene Street in NYC to create The Muuto Apartment; stop in for a look around.
• Evangeline Linens’ limited-edition woven mohair throws are on sale for a limited time.
• “Woven Conversations” opens at March in SF on October 20, featuring the work of English artist and craftsperson Annemarie O’Sullivan and “cross-cultural conversations through the language of utilitarian basketry.”
• A one-stop shop for conscious cleaning products.
• On the new British monarch’s passion for sustainable gardening.
• Last but not least: admiring these stout wineglasses, hand-made in North Carolina and inspired by “Flemish wineglasses, the kind you see peeking out of a pile of fruit or fish in a 16th-century still life.”
