_being a TED Fellow has been without a doubt one of the most important experiences we have ever had here at the Gopher. Applications are now open, so fill the application and lets meet up in Edinburgh in the Spring!

_ as you gear up for turkey gobbling, consider the lovely printed matter. The FPO Awards Book is available for pre-order now!

_it was done over a decade ago, but we’re still completely in love with the Mended Spiderweb project by Nina Katchadourian. “In the forest and around the house where I was living, I searched for broken spiderwebs which I repaired using red sewing thread.” Beautiful.

_as simple as possible: Larissa Kasper lives in Zurich and studies visual communication. She’s also a good friend of Rosario Floro‘s.

_we’re digging [ no pun intended ] Jae Rhim Lee’s TED Talk on her Infinity Burial Project, an alternative for the postmortem body. In other news, a sky burial sounds beautiful, but the images prove otherwise.

_we’re late to this funeral but mourning none the less: Colophon is officially over.

_last week at the TXContemporary we met the lovely folks behind Cosmocosa‘s art space in Buenos Aires.

_before you go to sleep: Joan Saló.

_busy week for Mario Wagner: yesterday he published a new website and on Monday announced a couple of exhibitions featuring his work.

_our dear Nathan Rothstein sends word of his latest project, in which “people raise money for the cause they care about by selling their used clothing.” Interested? Contact them at buymyne@gmail.com
