THE CURATOR: Coked-out chairs, Foursquare etiquette and vomitting gifs

POSTED: Tuesday, April 20, 2010, 6:02 PM

This could have been avoided if Alex Forrest had just checked in.

Every Tuesday, Critical Mass pokes around the art blog world so you don't have to. — Hopefully it's safe to say we're out of the doom-and-gloom naysaying portion of the recession and onto the "I may just be gainfully employed in the next three months" part. Philebrity's got some good news to bolster spirits. Local art orgs like First Person Arts and Peoples Light have received grants of $75,000. On a sadder note, the hot guy on my Puma Stock Exchange app is less naked these days. — Design-Phan's digging Emeco's new Coke chair. While numerous conceptions may be floating around that imagination of yours â this chair is not made of cans Gorilla-glued together, nor is it a place for the ambitious snorter to get his fix â rather it's a pretty standard four-legged sitting contraption composed of recycled Coke bottles. Coming soon to Design Within Reach. — Fatal Attraction would be a totally different movie had it been set in today's world. Shmitten Kitten's Phil has the lowdown on Foursquare etiquette while on a date. Hint: If you want to "check-in" and not look like a disinterested jerk, show up early. Problem solved. — Chris Zak of Pistola Press caught up with Kurt Vile at this weekend's Record Story Day . Turns out the Vilester was a big NOFX and Candyskins fan in his youth. Which just goes to show that poor taste is a bit like herpes: Not there all the time, but can affect anyone â even accomplished musicians. — Life is too short not to make light of other people's misfortunes. Used Wigs has got an animated gif to help put a smile on any previously-disgusted Philly fan's face, made complete with some party projectile vomit. Go Phils!
