Go to any grocery store, and it will feel as if pesto is everywhere—but nothing beats fresh basil ground to a pulp at home. Photographer David Kitz is no stranger to re-imagining the cliché, in his pesto recipe as well as his still lifes of obscure objects, like scrub brushes, clocks, and quail eggs.

Most mornings for Joan Jonas begin with walking her poodle, Ozu, returning to her loft on Mercer Street, where she has lived and worked for over six decades, and having breakfast. A collector of odd and unassuming things, her home is filled with relics and curiosities that inspire her: drawings and notebooks sprawled across tables, stacks of books, numerous mirrors, time-worn masks, sun-bleached kites, several bird-callers, collected stones, and wooden animal figurines.

Ben Werther’s “Townworld” exists in a place that both is and isn’t. On view at Amanita’s Bowery location through April 20, the artist’s solo exhibition of large-scale acrylic-on-collage works on canvas center on a paradox of site.

The office of Jean Paul Favand, the founder of the Musée des Arts Forains, or the Museum of Fairground Arts, in Paris, is everything you might hope. A large desk, at which you could imagine a king writing letters to goblins, faces extraordinary artefacts strewn here and there – a giant harp, a model of Atlas carrying the Earth, a painting of the Pope in Avignon – as if waiting for some idiosyncratic form of processing.

‘I was in one of the sex chat rooms and accidentally pasted a recipe for how to cook a baby shark in the chat window but caught it in time,’ wrote Miranda July in her dream journal, as shared via her Instagram account. As for me, I don’t remember any details from the dream I had last night. A glimpse of a bedroom in a London house? Worn-out carpet in an open-plan office?
