Dream maps of North America by Canadian artist Greg Curnoe from 1972, 1989, & 1990. Curnoe also painted the hospital where I was born, his studio looked out over it - Victoria Hospital in London, Ontario, Canada. Here’s a picture of my mom looking at that painting. In high school, I slept under a reproduction of a Curnoe painting of a Mariposa brand road bike. He painted Mariposa bikes many times and ended up dying in a bike slaughter.
In 1992, a group of seven cyclists out for a club ride, Curnoe among them, was plowed into by a pickup truck driver. Every cyclist was hurt, only Curnoe died. He was only 55. The driver was charged on 5 counts but acquitted of the crime.
Years before, in 1965, Curnoe had co-founded one of the very first noise bands, Nihilist Spasm Band, cited by members of Sonic Youth as an inspiration.
He’d also co-founded an artists union.

Another recent @cooperhewitt acquisition, Pippa Garner‘s THINKMAN (1984) is a rare-early-large-scale work by the American artist, industrial designer, illustrator, and writer known for her parodies of consumer products and social critique. THINKMAN came to the museum through the advocacy and scholarship of @fifidunks from the collection of Denise Domergue, a design legend, friend of the artist, and former neighbor in the storied Los Altos Apartments in Los Angeles. Denise acquired the work in 1987 from painter Nancy Reese, Garner’s ex-wife. Garner built THINKMAN in her Los Altos basement studio while living and working under her given name, Philip Garner. It’s constructed from components of another of her seminal works, PERMAFASHION SPORTS JACKET (984), a sculptural garment designed to evolve with the wearer as an expressive canvas. These works, also her HALF-SUIT (1981-82), belong to Garner’s early play with American codes of masculinity.

Images of THINKMAN with its peekaboo cabinet doors closed; magazine tearsheet as found in Garner’s archive; and Permafashion Sports Jacket in Garner’s Utopia... or Bust! Products for the Perfect World (Delilah Books, 1984)
