Dream maps of North America by Canadian artist Greg Curnoe from 1972, 1989, & 1990. Curnoe also painted the hospital where I was born, his studio looked out over it - Victoria Hospital in London, Ontario, Canada. Here’s a picture of my mom looking at that painting. In high school, I slept under a reproduction of a Curnoe painting of a Mariposa brand road bike. He painted Mariposa bikes many times and ended up dying in a bike slaughter.
In 1992, a group of seven cyclists out for a club ride, Curnoe among them, was plowed into by a pickup truck driver. Every cyclist was hurt, only Curnoe died. He was only 55. The driver was charged on 5 counts but acquitted of the crime.
Years before, in 1965, Curnoe had co-founded one of the very first noise bands, Nihilist Spasm Band, cited by members of Sonic Youth as an inspiration.
He’d also co-founded an artists union.

Another recent @cooperhewitt acquisition, Pippa Garner‘s THINKMAN (1984) is a rare-early-large-scale work by the American artist, industrial designer, illustrator, and writer known for her parodies of consumer products and social critique. THINKMAN came to the museum through the advocacy and scholarship of @fifidunks from the collection of Denise Domergue, a design legend, friend of the artist, and former neighbor in the storied Los Altos Apartments in Los Angeles. Denise acquired the work in 1987 from painter Nancy Reese, Garner’s ex-wife. Garner built THINKMAN in her Los Altos basement studio while living and working under her given name, Philip Garner. It’s constructed from components of another of her seminal works, PERMAFASHION SPORTS JACKET (984), a sculptural garment designed to evolve with the wearer as an expressive canvas. These works, also her HALF-SUIT (1981-82), belong to Garner’s early play with American codes of masculinity.

Images of THINKMAN with its peekaboo cabinet doors closed; magazine tearsheet as found in Garner’s archive; and Permafashion Sports Jacket in Garner’s Utopia... or Bust! Products for the Perfect World (Delilah Books, 1984)

View Instagram Stories in Secret

The Instagram Story Viewer is an easy tool that lets you secretly watch and save Instagram stories, videos, photos, or IGTV. With this service, you can download content and enjoy it offline whenever you like. If you find something interesting on Instagram that you’d like to check out later or want to view stories while staying anonymous, our Viewer is perfect for you. Anonstories offers an excellent solution for keeping your identity hidden. Instagram first launched the Stories feature in August 2023, which was quickly adopted by other platforms due to its engaging, time-sensitive format. Stories let users share quick updates, whether photos, videos, or selfies, enhanced with text, emojis, or filters, and are visible for only 24 hours. This limited time frame creates high engagement compared to regular posts. In today’s world, Stories are one of the most popular ways to connect and communicate on social media. However, when you view a Story, the creator can see your name in their viewer list, which may be a privacy concern. What if you wish to browse Stories without being noticed? Here’s where Anonstories becomes useful. It allows you to watch public Instagram content without revealing your identity. Simply enter the username of the profile you’re curious about, and the tool will display their latest Stories. Features of Anonstories Viewer: - Anonymous Browsing: Watch Stories without showing up on the viewer list. - No Account Needed: View public content without signing up for an Instagram account. - Content Download: Save any Stories content directly to your device for offline use. - View Highlights: Access Instagram Highlights, even beyond the 24-hour window. - Repost Monitoring: Track the reposts or engagement levels on Stories for personal profiles. Limitations: - This tool works only with public accounts; private accounts remain inaccessible. Benefits: - Privacy-Friendly: Watch any Instagram content without being noticed. - Simple and Easy: No app installation or registration required. - Exclusive Tools: Download and manage content in ways Instagram doesn’t offer.
