Time traveling here from today's 'sletter, but I want to state for posterity that I thiiiink that beautiful textile pattern on the cover of Music for 18 Musicians comes from the work of Beryl Korot, Reich's spouse and an all-time textile/video/software artist. I'm thinking of her piece Text and Commentary, which I had the pleasure of hanging out with on the daily while I was working for a gallery that had it on display, more details of the installation here: https://www.moma.org/collection/works/191231?artist_id=35522&page=1&sov_referrer=artist

Couldn't not share for all the textile maniacs out there (in here)!

Are you going to wear this when you lounging at home? Or do you practice the House clothes/Street Clothes divide?

Morning coffee hour type lounging will be in morning coffee hour type fits but when I get dressed, these are the clothes I'm wearing !

The Tauba show at SFMOMA was all time. This was my first art moment I've experienced in 2 years, left me without speech and mind full of wonder.

Great write up in this weeks NYT on it as well. The catalogue is a type nerd's book design dream.

What’s the plan re: washing your core clothes?

The thinking is that the cooler weather and undershirts will help the shirts not get grody (they’re not machine washable anyway) and I’ll wash the pants as needed !

Smart thinking Spyplane! I’m going to go pick out my favorite clothes to wear for a month
