On Saturday Chelsea smelled like sewage. I try not to capitulate to the pathetic fallacy in writing, but sometimes the jokes write themselves. First I ducked into the WangShui show at Kurimanzutto. Their work has seemed interesting but oblique to me. Unfortunately I still don’t get it, even though—or more likely, because—the artist themselves was there in the exhibition space, conversing with the painter Maryam Hoseini for an audience of some fifty people.

Huazhi 720 Degree Swivel Gargle and Eyewash Station Faucet AeratorDispiriting times; it’s hard to think much about art. I had a fever for a few days and spent a week alone in my apartment menaced by my phone and laptop screens. I’m claustrophobic to begin with, and the whole experience left me feeling hemmed in.

In Spigot this week, I got inspired by a chance geographic pairing of Martha Rosler and Syd Mead—present/past vs. future, seamy photomontage vs. lush gouache, "the real" vs. fantasy. FYI the Mead show is super fun. @sydmeadofficial https://t.co/m0toLuuYdN https://t.co/aF0oLEzcRT
This week Spigot brings you literature, booze, and disco. Featuring paeans to Shirley Jackson—take note @PenguinBooks !—and Donna Summer's exquisite "Lucky." https://t.co/w2vb5Kj3dm https://t.co/uL6ek17oZX
This week Spigot offers you Kianja Strobert's excellent show, closing this week in NYC; a little Lana; and a Monastrell, the perfect Euro value wine for the New Great Depression. https://t.co/QqsT2hXom9 https://t.co/ErAWMEEGm2
