Our MBF Favorite Picks are back! Although our original plan was to post our favorite picks every other month, we realized there are just too many things we wanted to share. (We hope you don't mind!) Focusing more on the local, indie, and underground scene this month, here is our little compilation of art, literature, food, and music. Enjoy!
May Day by Deitch Projects, May 01, 2010 - May 29, 2010
18 Wooster Street, NYC
Deitch Projects is pleased to present May Day, an exhibition of new work by Shepard Fairey, as its final project. Titled not only in reference to the day of the exhibition’s opening, the multiple meanings of May Dayresonate throughout the artist's new body of work. Originally a celebration of spring and the rebirth it represents, May Day is also observed in many countries as International Worker's Day or Labor Day, a day of political demonstrations and celebrations coordinated by unions and socialist groups. “Mayday” is also the distress signal used by pilots, police and firefighters in times of emergency.

The Thoughtful Dresser by Linda Grant
“You can’t have depths without surfaces,” says Linda Grant in her lively and provocative new book, The thoughtful Dresser, a thinking woman’s guide to what we wear. For
centuries, an interest in clothes has been dismissed as the trivial
pursuit of vain, empty-headed women. Yet, clothes matter, whether you
are interested in fashion or not, because how we choose to dress
defines who we are. How we look and what we wear tells a story...The Thoughtful Dresser celebrates the pleasure
of adornment and is an elegant meditation on our relationship with what
we wear and the significance of clothes as the most intimate but also
public expressions of our identity. (More info here.)
