MUSÉE 29 – EVOLUTION
Evolution explores the concepts of progress, transformation, growth, and advancement in an age when images are taking a dramatic shift in the role they play in our lives.
All in Holiday
The infamous spaghetti-tree hoax by the BBC current affairs programme Panorama, on April Fool’s Day 1957.
This week is World Innovation and Creativity week; Innovation progresses the status quo while creativity speaks to the human essence. Together they give free rein to the unlimited imaginative potential, without forcing the spark of progress to be brought back to the hard pavement of reality.
Be thankful your coffee spilled: it was your body’s way of telling you the extra caffeine wasn’t needed. Be thankful you missed that deadline, you needed the extra time. Be thankful you have no savings: you were thinking of dieting anyways, right?
I just put my winter coat away, because yesterday I was sweating in a tank top. But this morning I had to pull it back out since today it’s almost freezing. Global warming is no longer just knocking on our door; it’s about to break it down.
April Fool’s the only holiday where you are allowed to prank your friends and get away with it. So if your car tiers get “Slash”-ed, don’t worry it’s for a National Holiday.
From National Puppy Day to National Waffle Day, there are plenty of unofficial holidays to celebrate all the little things that make our lives a bit more worth living for. Today, March 26, is National Make Up Your Own Holiday Day. So from all of us here at Musée: Happy Musée Day!
It is now time to put an end to, yet again, cancelling plans and instead snuggling under the covers with your heat-radiating beau. The time has come to take off the handcuffs and step back into the social arena. It’s Spring Equinox today, and your 2019 starts now.
In the fifth century, St. Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland, infamously banished snakes into the sea and righteously doused Christianity over the pagan country, evangelizing thousands. His name has been made known internationally and, following his death on March 17 in the year 461, has been memorialized and celebrated with greatly-known holiday St. Patrick’s Day.
Feminist superheroes have flown over the house of the patriarchy and raised the female flag, creating safe passage for those behind them. International Women’s Day claims independence and power for women, it creates a safe place for those who feel that they don’t have any.
The Asian zodiac is characterized with hard-work and sensibility. Astrologers have projected progress for 2018 with people partaking in social and political activism on both a global and community level, which reflects the Dog’s virtue of being swift with due diligence for right and wrong.
Lucius Fontenot: "I believe it’s honesty. The honesty of the people participating in these rituals. The honesty in which I approach these subjects. We are nothing if not real here. Our traditions are practiced daily. Our culture is not play acting."
Jesse Rieser is a bi-coastal photographer, splitting his time between Phoenix and New York. Rieser considers himself a student of subtleties, exploring the intricacies of the quotidian through photography. This week I had the pleasure of chatting with Jesse about his 7 years of documenting Americans celebrating Christmas. In a hilarious show of excess, Rieser reminds us how endearing it is to flash that outward sign of inward cheer. Put your Santa hats on as Rieser reignites the thrill of joy in his series entitled Christmas in America: Happy Birthday Jesus.
