Cabaret Series: ha ha ha (The Funny, the Witty, and the Grotesque) | February 14, recommended by Alexander Walter
"Seldom the focus in dominant discourses of art, design, and architecture, there is a recurring interest in the explorations of irony, satire, and the grotesque as a means of critique of the status quo," reads the preface of this latest Storefront event, presented in conjunction with the ongoing Freeman & Lowe installation, Paranoia Man in a Rat Fink Room, in search for the intersections between humor, art, and architecture.

The Casual Pleasure of Disappointment | Opening on February 16, recommended by Nicholas Korody
The Norwegian artist Bjarne Melgaard is known for his provocative, immersive installation work. Recently, he's been collaborating with the creative director Babak Radboy on a unisex fashion line entitled "The Casual Pleasure of Disappointment". This will be the first presentation of the fashion-cum-art line, "which violently embraces the obsessive and self-destructive aspects of fashion and consumerism".
