This week we were thankful for…*Ivan Puig's trippy new installations. [123 Inspiration]*The existence of Existential Bummer. [The Artful Desperado]*NYC's legendary Mudd Club getting a new scent--we just couldn't get that Talking Heads song stuck out of our heads. [HintMag]*Paper Magazine's pretty great Art Basel guide. [PaperMag]*Designers geeking out over Marimekko. [Mediabistro]*Art created from earthquake refuse. [Trendland]*NYMag listing their favorite holiday display windows. Personally our favorite was the one above from Joanie Lamercier. [NYMag]*The Palace of Versailles getting its first permanent installation--a "12-metre-high stainless steel installation, weighing just less than 500kgs, is adorned with more than 800 Swarovski crystals and illuminated by multiple LED lights." Stay flashy Versailles! [Design Indaba]*10 Nigerian hip-hop wedding videos. No further explaination necessary. [OKAfrica]*Cheeto still lifes (lives?). [Art Fag City]*Icy Intervention making central Rome look high-tech. [Evolo]*Folks improving school lunches via design. [NYTimes]*UK-based record store Rough Trade opening in Williamsburg, and everyone in BK (including the VICE staff) going nuts. [RoughTrade]*A ring that could potentially allow the deaf and mute to literally speak with their hands. [Prote.in]*Crazy tentacle art. [FilthyLuker]*The delightfully fresh and far-out photography of Synchrodogs [The Cut]*Andy Warhol's cake doodles. [DesignTaxi]*And Robyn meeting a robot named Robot. [Vulture]Have a great break everyone!
