God I love holidays. I went to Nice and had a fabulous time (even popped over to Marseille to spend the new year with friends). I hope you also enjoyed yourself. As a reminder, I started Sunday Scraps in 2018 as a way to clear my open tabs. Best to think of these as digital… Continue reading Sunday Scraps #108

Last one of the year and it’s definitely influenced by the Mediterranean (where I’ve decamped to for a week). I visited Villa Arson for the first time today and it’s doing what the Barbican should do with art education / even if Marty Supreme is basically a film about toxic masculinity, the soundtrack is amazing… Continue reading Sunday Scraps #107

The critique of the Vanity Fair White House photoshoot is on point / I’m late to the party but Articles of Interest is an excellent podcast about clothes which led me down a rabbit hole where I found out Levi’s created ‘casual fridays’ and a mysterious death in the 1940s / I’m not sure we… Continue reading Sunday Scraps #106

With that in mind, this is a longer list than usual as there are many tabs to close. I had totally forgotten about IBM’s Watson but it’s so funny to read it… Continue reading Sunday Scraps #103

Getting into Alan Watts is one of the more acceptable ways to have a mid-life crisis / enclothed cognition is an interesting phenomenon / the Japanese have a standard size for sports towels so it’s a shame we can’t find more over here / it’s always useful to compare calendars / I don’t understand why… Continue reading Sunday Scraps #102

Went to an open studio night and had the pleasure of meeting the artist Barby Asante / am going to try to go see Claire Fontaine‘s show and the AA Gallery show about Ursula K Le Guin’s maps  / the concept of a memory palace is so interesting / calling floppy disks old makes me… Continue reading Sunday Scraps #101

As 90s baggy jeans are coming back, maybe we should revisit this documentary about the role of hip hop in racism / the Institute for Public Architecture is doing some really interesting work on Governors Island / the visualisations done by Common Wealth are chef’s kiss / I am so here for Alfie’s project to… Continue reading Sunday Scraps #100

It’s been an exhausting few weeks so I’m a bit late with my links. The David Mellor museum looks interesting / I didn’t know Camille Pissarro lived in my area before Crystal Palace burnt down / refreshing to hear Malcolm Gladwell reflect on The Tipping Point / the growing number of people around me investing… Continue reading Sunday Scraps #99
