Rodger, Nelda

Design Exchange

From the publisher: "a spectacular survey of contemporary art and collectible design inspired by the Design Exchange exhibition, guest curated by Pharrell Williams with John Wee Tom and Sara Nickleson. This substantial publication is an even deeper consideration of some of the exhibition's themes, including an exploration of the allure and mystique of the art toy; the accessibility of art; designer toys as portals to an artist's oeuvre and the wider art world; and urban vinyl's unique relevance and significance in contemporary culture ... includes thoughtful essays from several contributors including artist, thinker and pop-culture guru Douglas Coupland, Toronto Star art critic Murray Whyte and Magic Pony's Kristin Weckworth, along with artist biographies and over 200 selected works with complete descriptions from KAWS, Takashi Murakami, Yoshitomo Nara, FriendsWithYou, Frank Kozik, Coarse, Huck Gee and many more - plus there's an exclusive interview with Pharrell Williams."

The 2017 Ryan McGinness To-Do List Calendar Pad is the perfect resource for any artist, designer, or list-maker's desk. The lightly gridded space of each page is a blank slate for everything from points of business and grocery lists to scribbles of inspiration.

The pad is bound along the top and packaged in a box with a black ribbon attached to assist in removing the pad from the box. The lid fits under the box base and can be used to store completed calendar days. At the end of the year the box is filled with the entire year's to-do lists, ready for easy archival. Each day features a different drawing within a circle at the top of each day's page, with 365 unique drawings total. The 2017 Edition is limited to a printing of 1,000 copies.
