“Hi all,
The Exquisite Book—100 Artists Play a Collaborative Game by Julia Rothman, Jenny Volvovski and Matt Lamothe with a foreword by Dave Eggers is now available. There will be an exhibit of prints of the work in New York/Brooklyn on October 22, as well as a one month online sale. There are several LRS artists featured in the book: Lisa Congdon, Mike Lowery, Matte Stephens and myself.

From The Exquisite Book website: ‘there are ten groups of ten artists who participated in the process. Each artist contributed one page to the book. The first artist was given a few words to inspire their drawing. Each of the following artists only saw the page that immediately preceded their own. Each artist used images (and optionally, words) to create the continuation to the story, and the inspiration for the next artist in line.’

Friday: The latest and greatest patterns by Helen Dardik

This piece is entitled, “Count Abernathy’s brother Sigmund Abernathy on his first trip to the United States with Mr. Owl bumps into a hungry yet friendly Augustus the lion.” We love you, Matte!

Matte was asked to do a whole series of pieces for the Jonathan Adler shops which will be shown at the Madison Avenue, Soho, and Columbus Avenue stores in NYC.

Tomorrow: Bonnie Dain’s recycle pieces.

Matte’s pillows that we’ve been waiting for.

Tomorrow: Lisa DeJohn’s fab canvas wall art.

Matte was asked to do these pieces on wacky, cool, different kinds of hotel structures for the October issue. I love these pieces.

Tomorrow: A lovely new personal piece by Diane Bigda
