Lina's Lookbook: October 2007
http://linaslookbook.blogspot.com/2007_10_01_archive.html
Sunday, October 28, 2007. Before I left New York, I was lucky enough to get a glimpse of Jeremy Flattau's work in various funky living rooms across Brooklyn. The subject content may be all about street cred but his works also have wonderful formal qualities. The colors are saturated and the paint has a sensual fluidity to it that draws you in. Very Rothko meets Warhol. Enjoy my favorites below and check out more at jeremyflattau.com. Wednesday, October 10, 2007. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Things that Li...

Lina's Lookbook: November 2007
http://linaslookbook.blogspot.com/2007_11_01_archive.html
Monday, November 5, 2007. Strolling through Meiji Japan. Somehow or other, all the rest of my papers for this semester are about exchanges between Japan and the West in the late-nineteenth century. For my class on Japanese prints, we had to pick a topic relating to Yoshitoshi, considered the last great master of the ukiyo-e tradition. One of his most popular prints is "Stolling: the appearance of an upper-class wife of the Meiji era," which depicts a woman in (gasp! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Lina's Lookbook: November 2008
http://linaslookbook.blogspot.com/2008_11_01_archive.html
Sunday, November 30, 2008. On a recent trip home, my father proudly showed me one of our family's more infamous heirlooms, which had recently come down to him. Known amongst the relatives as the "Captain's Desk," it was built for my great-great-great-great-grandfather, Ebenezer Cooley (really, shouldn't everyone have someone named Ebenezer in their family tree? What my dad didn't know is that once you take that drawer out, you can also pull out the side walls of the cavity. Each "wall" is actually a ...

Lina's Lookbook: June 2008
http://linaslookbook.blogspot.com/2008_06_01_archive.html
Saturday, June 14, 2008. The spring semester has come and gone, and although I mentioned them in my last entry, somehow I never got around to actually blogging about Susan Frackelton's Dessert Plates. But that's a tangent for another time! Once again I seem to be trying to get out of writing about Frackelton's Dessert Plates. Much as I was all last semester. For whatever reason I just couldn't get excited about these objects or the paper I wrote on them. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). The Starbucks Experime...

Lina's Lookbook: March 2008
http://linaslookbook.blogspot.com/2008_03_01_archive.html
Monday, March 31, 2008. For the past month, my fellow residents of Madison, WI and I have been wondering if today will be the first day of real spring. March has been less "in like a lion, out like a lamb" and more "in like a piranha, out like a barracuda," but seasonal changes, though subtle, have definitely occurred. Some signs of spring in the land of the long winter:. Not to mention that the bulldozers look lovely dozing in the fading light. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile.

Lina's Lookbook: April 2009
http://linaslookbook.blogspot.com/2009_04_01_archive.html
Wednesday, April 15, 2009. New Orleans: Arts Warehouse District. Between the Garden District and the French Quarter lies downtown and an area cunningly named the Arts Warehouse District, with, you guessed it, old warehouses, art galleries, and museums. In general New Orleans feels like a cross between downtown Manhattan and Charleston, South Carolina. I hope some of these bring that across . . . Tuesday, April 14, 2009. New Orleans: French Quarter. Monday, April 13, 2009. New Orleans: The Garden District.

Lina's Lookbook: October 2008
http://linaslookbook.blogspot.com/2008_10_01_archive.html
Wednesday, October 15, 2008. But at least that means I can do a project on architecture, which I get to talk about but rarely. The working title of my final paper is Curating the Cultural Landscape: Chipstone House as Historical Property. And how do these landscape curatorial practices relate to those used to curate what is better known as the “Chipstone Collection” of decorative arts? And it's more or less a domestic version of Williamsburg's Governors Palace. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Tuesday, April 14, 2009. New Orleans: French Quarter. The French Quarter really is as amazing as everyone says. Every where you go you see incredible architecture, hear live music, and can get a drink to go from the bar. Remember you can click on the pictures below to get a larger view.

Lina's Lookbook: September 2007
http://linaslookbook.blogspot.com/2007_09_01_archive.html
Wednesday, September 26, 2007. The post-modernism all around us. Monday, September 3, 2007. The only thing I bought during my recent experience at the Dane County Farmers' Market. Were some exquisite and inexpensive gladiolas. They make a perfect arrangement. All on their lonesome, because their fluttery petals nicely balance their spiky stalks. Stick them in a trumpet vase and you get an arrangement with some flare. I was somewhat more successful with this arrangnement. I'm always keeping cut flowers ou...
