visited the haus der kunst on this rainy day in munich. great exhibit of the daled's collection of conceptual art, or at least the (mostly paper) evidence of it. on kawara's postcards and date paintings are an intriguing and visually sound example of the exploration of time, personal experience, travel, and those relationships (or non-relationships?) between each other and to art. giving me great ideas for things i can work on while im running around the globe...

besides comme des garcons, issey miyake, and yohji yamamoto, the book chronicles lesser-known designers from the past 25 years that have been pushing the limits of beauty, fashion, and technology with their innovative designs.
