Marina's Collection ( 9/14)

Marina sent a lot of great sites in her collection email this week.
I especially enjoyed:


  • http://www.booooooom.com/ 
    • It's a great source to see a bunch of awesome new works of all mediums. I was fascinated by the tree phonograph on the home page. I found that I just kept going through the archive for at least a good 20 minutes, I love how easy to navigate the site is, with links to each category at the top. It's also really great that they have links to other awesome blogs on the side that everyone should take a look at.
  • http://paulphung.com 
    • Paul Phung's photos are very beautiful. I was particularly drawn to his visual diary collection ( which was what Marina linked us to) as opposed to his other work. His photo's are so simple, yet I find them so interesting. It's probably because he find beauty in such mundane places and situations, such a girl standing in the corner with her hair in her face and an empty laundromat. Unfortunately, I found his other work to feel more like school projects. 
  • http://yerinmok.tumblr.com/ 
    • As for Ye Rin Mok's work,  the same could be said as Paul Phungs. Her photography is very simple and beautiful. Her portrait projects seem so natural - its great to see a portrait in followed by images that tell a story about the person.
  • http://www.oogaboogastore.com/ 
    • This was probably my favorite part of the whole collection. I loved just about everything in this store. I really can't wait to see them at the NY Book Fair, so I can try and get a copy of Lab's with Abs!
  • http://weeknights.wordpress.com/
    • Although I didn't enjoy that much of the artwork this gallery was showing, it's really awesome to see what Purchase alumni are up to and to see fellow classmates getting their art in gallery shows.
  • Bonsai by Alejandro Zambra
    • After reading the first couple of paragraphs, this is definitely added to the top of my reading list. It seems very interesting and the writing style is great. I can't wait to finish it.
These sites were fantastic. There was so much great work going on. She definitely gave me new tumblr pages and blogs to follow check out daily.
