"YUNS" is how people say "y'all" deep in the southern Appalachian Mountains. It's an inclusive term of endearment.“

As modern society is progressively dependent on technology and convenience culture, the hardware store remains one of the richest places for us to learn and solve problems with our own minds, hands and abilities. Our goal is to build a strong relationship between people and everyday tools in hopes that the more they can do themselves, the more they can improve the world around them.

People who say, "The system we have isn't perfect, but it's the best we're going to have," are people who don't have or can't imagine utopias.

The art market's mild self-reflections, be they regarding its white-male dominance or its role in the late-capitalist state of the world, are performances of self-criticism.

„unpredictability is what makes natural materials so special. Working with the unexpected to resolve the challenges that these materials present is often where the most interesting moments of a piece are found.“

„Zuzanna Czebatul (born in 1986, Poland) lives and works in Berlin. She graduated from the Städelschule Frankfurt in 2013, and later attended the MFA Program at Hunter College, New York as Fulbright Fellow. The artist operates mainly in the field of sculpture, creating pieces that blur the lines between commercial product, architectural relic, and artistic production. Her work investigates complex relationships between the viewer and the viewed. She produces her own materials and creates works that deal with different themes representing strength or weakness, depicted in their opposed …

Antwerp based roastery and coffeeshop Andy Roasters All 📸 © @andyroasters WHO’S ANDY? „Rather than a person, Andy is a philosophy: seeing the art in everyday things. Coffee is consumed daily by so many people and is often not valued for the amazing flavour bomb it actually is. With Andy we try to get coffee’s true identity to a wider audience.“

‘The idea is to do as little as possible for a lot of money so that I can get back to my own stuff’

Photographer @benoit_paille ❤️‍🔥 „I’ve been homeless for the last 10 years, moving from friend to friend’s house every three months. During this time, I document my life, their kids, and my friends. My photography is a tribute to love, a question of the aesthetic of documentary, and a humorous play on an anti-capitalist setup. I use the power of representation to showcase my friends from lower social classes, the queer community, and our shared rage.“ From @noicemag

(think with your eyes) Corners, an art & design store in the Catskills upstate New York. Recommended by Malte Müller.

Starting in 1965, Mieko Shiomi conducted a series of nine events that she called Spatial Poems. Each one began with an invitation to a large number of friends and colleagues to respond to a simple instruction, which often took the form of an intimate action poem that anyone could perform. The responses she received in the mail would then constitute the work. In 1975, Shiomi published a booklet documenting the nine Spatial Poems and including a collection of responses to each of these works. The accumulated responses give a glimpse of the wide network of artists who were connected throu …
