THE BASEMENT STACKS

"Books breaking through the wall downstairs, referencing the 'basement stacks' every library has. In this case it's as if those stacks had been sealed up during some remodel, and are anthropomorphically breaking through, referencing the old library, history, roots, poltergeists... Created for the VIA Advertising Agency, which recently renovated and moved their offices into the old Baxter building, which served as Portland's public library from 1888 until the 1960s."

Who knew potholes could look so pretty?

I love this installation by artist Juliana Santacruz Herrera! I never thought I could be cheered up by a pothole, but I couldn't help but smile looking at these. (via HonestlyWTF)

On a completely different note, what are your thoughts on the Lollapalooza lineup for this summer? I just made my custom lineup, here. I'll actually be in Chicago later this week to see Matt (I haven't seen him since my trip to Austin in March!) and watch Local Natives play a show at Columbia College. Needless to say, I'm excited! After that, I have one more final and then I graduate college! Crazy!
