Go Ken!

I went to college with Mr. Wingard--lovely man, great designer, and he lives right here in San Francisco! I was very excited to see that his designs are being featured in the SMH store.

When I was in New York for that Here and Now conference I received a copy of Studio, the Studio Museum in Harlem's Fall/Winter 2008 "magazine"--it seems more like a nicely bound calendar/bulletin than a magazine--and this announcement for Ken's work being featured in their store is in it. I couldn't find out any more info about this "magazine" on the SMH website (which has always been lacking)--I don't know if this is an inaugural issue (the cover states it's a "collector's issue") but it's pretty great, with entries written by varied staff (you'll notice this is written by the Director's EA, which you never, ever see), including a feature "Ask a Museum Guard."

It's full color, 76 pages, and worth seeking out--it doesn't seem as though you can subscribe, but perhaps it's a perk of membership. I never did get to the Museum, but I do love a good publication.
