Lauren Porter Knit Ferrari
In this economy, it'd be crazy to buy yourself a Ferrari. Better just to get yourself 12 miles of yarn and make one instead. (Via What's Wrong With the Zoo.)
Catalog: The Illustrated History of Mail-Order Shopping
In this tome, author Robin Cherry traces the catalog from the farming supply days of Montgomery Ward to the infamous J.Peterson and all the goods in between—from submarine to aquarium bathtub—once available to be shipped to your door.
Peter Beste
As one of our graphic designers said, "If there were two subcultures I wouldn't want to fuck with, it'd be Norwegian Black Metal and Dirty South Rap." In 2008, Peter Beste released a book called—what do you know—True Norwegian Black Metal, and 2009 promises to bring his monograph of Houston Rap Culture. It's his world and we just live in it.
Yiorgos Kordakis
In his current show, Global Summer, Yiorgos Kordakis presents hazy photographs of vast beachscapes giving the uncanny impression of miniature isolated dioramas. Through January 24 at M+B Gallery.
Mercedes Salazar
A more polished version of the bracelets you pick up on vacation and keep on until they're moldy, wet pieces of string, Colombian jewelry designer Mercedes Salazar bases her Putomayo collection on traditional South American designs, but updates them with a magnetic sterling clasp.
Isaacymanu
You don’t need a protractor to wrap your head around Paris-based Spanish designer Isaacymanu’s geometrically-inclined garb.

Luella Bartley and Linda Farrow
Luella Bartley's much loved SS08 collection was largely inspired by Ghost World's wisecracking Enid (played by Thora Birch), and the look relied heavily on heavy, square black glasses created for Luella by Linda Farrow. Now the glasses are available to all, so that you too can accentuate the negative.
We Are Experienced
Photographer Danielle Levitt spent years documenting the teenagers in We Are Experienced, and the resulting cross section includes pageant queens, prom goers, suburban goths, band members (both punk and marching), skaters, Wiccans and wanna-bes. The result is a compendium of adolescent life more accurate than any yearbook could ever be.
222 Gallery Group Show
Giving the pretentious elements of the group show the brush-off, 222 Gallery calls its latest exhibition just Group Show and forgoes the standard minimalism in favor of salon-style walls packed with works from the likes of Jeffrey Stockbridge, Maureen Duffy, Damien Correll, Emily Erb and more.
