Quote of the day: Leonie Bell, V&A Dundee



Disco by Bill Bernstein

“Even though nightclubs won’t be reopening for a long time and many have closed down permanently, we wanted to assert them as critical cultural spaces, just as much as museums are. We’ve never had so many people ask if we’re having an opening party. People are just desperate to go out and dress up.”

Museum director Leonie Bell on the new nightlife exhibition Night Fever: Designing Club Culture that has just opened at the V&A in Dundee. (I had no idea there was a V&A in Dundee). The exhibition is an updated version of a show that was first staged in 2018 at the Vitra Design Museum in Germany. It sounds superb. More info here.

Quote of the day: Dimepiece founder Brynn Wallner

“There’s also no centralized resource for women who have a similar mindset…There’s just not a place where you can get a straight answer about anything even down to the fundamentals. Like: How do I know what kind of bracelet I want? Or do I want a leather strap? Or what’s the value of a metal? Do I want gold? Do I want stainless steel? There’s nobody helping answer those questions in a centralized place for women. And I feel like men have the luxury of nerding out on Reddit threads and can figure it out from there. But there aren’t that many women included in those dialogues.”

Quote of the day: Ron Finley

“When I wake up I’m successful. I’m not measuring my success by what we’ve been trained to think success is. What gives you value? The watch? The phone? The shoes? No, motherfucker, there’s only one thing that gives you value and that’s you. It’s that simple. You can have value just by saying ‘I have value.'” (more…)

Quote of the day: Fran Lebowitz on wants vs needs



Fran Lebowitz quote

“I’m very materialistic. Unfortunately, I am also very uninterested in money, so it’s a horrible combination. I have more Anderson & Sheppard suits and jackets than I should. More than I could really afford. Of course, you don’t actually need any of these things, and I have more than I need. That doesn’t mean that I have more than I want, since I seem to be the only American who knows the difference between desire and need. But I enjoy the whole process. There is nothing that I like more than to spend hours looking through swatches. I love deciding between 17 shades of grey.” (more…)
