Last night’s CARNIVAL opening at the Jeffrey Deitch gallery was nothing short of electric. From the visceral, mind-bending visuals to the unforgettable performances, it was a full sensory immersion—and one hell of a tribute to outsider brilliance.

A special shoutout to Joe Coleman, whose work continues to haunt, provoke, and mesmerize. His latest book, A DOORWAY TO JOE: THE ART OF JOE COLEMAN, out now from , is a must-have. A portal into the raw, the grotesque, and the sublime—just like the man himself.

This was more than an exhibition—it was a communion of the strange and sacred.

Just read the book 2025 needs - Women of the Fairy Tale Resistance by Jane Harrington. Despite my love of fairy tales and studying children's literature for a while, I never knew the true origins of fairy tales in 17th century and the conteuses/female storytellers behind them.
Beautifully illustrated, this book offers short biographies of seven women and a sample of their empowering, feminist stories of fantasy, romance and controlling own destiny. It's a joy to read! Forget Disney, Grimm brothers and Perrault, these are how fairy tales should be told. If only I could read French and the original books.
I can't wait to own a physical copy in August when it's finally published.
