Brooklyn Museum | Playing House Exhibition Opens Feb 24
Artist Anne Chu prepares her installation in the museums period rooms
Brooklyn, February 20, 2012 submitted by: webmaster (via Twitter @brooklynmuseum)
February 24–August 26, 2012
Period Rooms, 4th Floor
Playing House is the first in a series of installations that
aim to engage visitors with the Brooklyn Museum’s period rooms. Artists
Betty Woodman, Anne Chu, Ann Agee, and Mary Lucier have been invited to
place site-specific artwork in eight of the Museum’s historic rooms,
which have been interpreted by curators over the years to illustrate how
Americans of various times, economic levels, and locations lived. The
artists were asked to consider these factors when developing their
ideas. The project originated with Woodman's observation that although
being an artist means confronting the art of the past, no one can enter
the past—except through “make believe,” or “playing house,” by which the
past can be appropriated.
The installation is organized by Barry R. Harwood, Curator of
Decorative Arts, and Eugenie Tsai, John and Barbara Vogelstein Curator
of Contemporary Art, Brooklyn Museum. (Reposted excerpt from Brooklyn Museum of Art Website: http://www.brooklynmuseum.org/exhibitions/playing_house/)

Quadrupeds Go Green with Sustainable Doghouse "Does Your Doghouse Have A Green Roof?" Repost from Dog-milk.com

Super Green for the Quadrupeds! Dog-milk.com has a great post on sustainable living for you & your dogs. Check out–http://dog-milk.com/does-your-dog-house-have-a-green-roof.
Thanks to dog-milk, I was able to link to an article in ReadyMade magazine about architect Stephanie Rubin's sustainable doghouses and birdhouses. The post was written by Sonia Zjawinski for ReadyMade and is re-posted partially below:
"When Los Angeles-based landscape architect Stephanie Rubin decided to
experiment with green roofs, she wanted to start on a small scale. But,
she explains, “It’s really not sustainable to create a display that has
no practical application.” She came up with a model that could serve as
both an example of her work and a resting spot for her pup. That led to
the launch of Sustainable Pet Design,
a collection of bird- and doghouses made with eco-friendly woods and
materials and topped off with lush green roofs. Since it wouldn’t be
sustainable to toss out your old doghouse for one of Rubin’s models,
here’s how to give your pup’s pad a green makeover."

Send your own mini-tale of streetlife in Brooklyn to us with photos. Feel free to send short narratives (several sentences) and
three photos max.
Or it would be great to receive snapshots of cool things that
you see in and around NYC and would like to have or build or wear. When
sending these include a link to the store site that they can be found
on-or at least the store name and street. Tell me why it caught your
eye or why you want it.
Pics of you growing, wearing, building or otherwise engaged
with B5+10 gear would likewise be appreciated. If you appear in the
blog, we will send you a pair of Nippon Work Gloves from the shop as
compensation for your permission to post it here.
