Filosofie van een werkbank
Eerder schreef ik over het recht op reparatie en de kunst van het rapareren van Tom Sachs.
In NRC schrijft Warna Oosterbaan een mooi stukje over de werkbank en het repareren van spullen. Heerlijk. Mijn handen jeuken.

Letter to a stranger
Great ideas in Rob Walker’s The Art of Noticing:
- Write a letter to a random person and leave it anywhere.
- Write a book about your memories. Write what you remember, without further research.

Paying taxes in the Faroe Islands
This article describes not only the wonderful simplicity of the tax system in the Faroe Islands, but also the backwardness of the tax system, and the banking system, in the United States.

Ans Westra at {Suite} Westra museum in Wellington
A friend recommended I check out Ans Westra when I told him we were going to New Zealand. Ans Westra is Dutch who moved to New Zealand in 1957. She is a documentary photographer.
In Wellington there is a gallery, called {Suite}, that exhibits and sells her work. The owner manages her archive.
Yesterday I visited the gallery, a small space on Wellington’s famous Cuba Street. I spoke briefly with the owner, who miraculously identified me as Dutch before I had spoken a word. Very nice guy.
I the gallery also hung work in color by Ans Westra that I did not know. Very good too. I bought the book Our Future by Ans Westra, with only work in color.
