Masumi Tipsy Saito in Tokyo
Masumi has posted some snaps of her performance on 15 Jan at the Art Complex Center of Tokyo. Looks fabulous, and I regret I couldn’t make it over to see the show.

“I had a childhood fantasy of having a tea shop with mismatched cups” — Tony Hornecker Tony’s Pale Blue Door installation/performance/pop-up restaurant has been one of our very favourite happenings of 2009.
