#Requiescat #MichaelCuscuna ❝Even if you put something out and it only sells a thousand copies and gets deleted in two years… Once you put it out, it exists. Once it’s out in the world, it can get copied, it can get analyzed, it can get critiqued. But if it’s just sitting on a shelf, it only exi…

#Requiescat For #BarbaraStauffacherSolomon. She was still doing exhibitions and publishing zines filled with her visionary supergraphics up until last year.

A color photo of Barbara Stauffacher Solomon in 2023. She is smiling, standing outside her home in San Francisco, wearing an eggplant purple blouse with black stripes and sunglasses. Oh yeah, and there’s a pigeon perched on her shoulder! 📸 by her daughter, Nellie King Solomon.

A color photo of the Kaiser Channel Studio in San Francisco sometime in the 1970s, featuring Barbara Stauffacher Solomon’s trademark supergraphics on the building’s facade.

A color poster advertising her fall, 2023 exhibition at SFMOMA called “Strips of Stripes”, a dynamic site-specific commission. There are bright red diagonal lines, black-and-white angled patterns, and use of large type set in her favorite, Helvetica.

“People go to record stores for the same reason they go to the farmers market. You get to see the merchandise, wander around, look at things you would never consider on your own, take advice from people who know what they’re talking about, stumble onto stuff, and maybe get your mind changed about something. No kidding, since when are there more than two kinds of eggplant? Man, a butternut squash. I’ve always …

#Requiescat This is hitting me harder than most celebrity deaths. #SteveAlbini was someone I admired and respected. He was very outspoken, sometimes disagreeable, but he really cared about the craft of making music. In the 1990s I tried my hand at releasing records, worked for some small, independe…
