Things Worth Sharing
Le Cinema Club
Le Cinéma Club is a free streaming platform presenting one handpicked film each week, celebrating emerging voices and rare gems with global access.
I love getting their weekly pick in my inbox, and while I don’t always make the cut-off to watch the films (you have 7 days), their taste is impeccable and offers an instant watch list for life.
Art
I came across the work of artist Erica Baum, which led me to the NYC art gallery Bureau, which led me to the work of artist Tom Thayer, which led me into a 3-hour transcendent rabbit hole where I emerged obsessed with Erica Baum, Bureau and Tom Thayer.
Erica Baum, Minotaur Grey, 2023 (Fabrications) Archival pigment print 16 × 16 in.
A Book (That Continues to Haunt Me).
The following books, one from childhood, one from adulthood, and both in direct conversation, haunted me then; they haunt me now. Let me know if you had the same book as a kid and whether it also messed you up. Upgrade here to see books.
