Underneath the metal is always a bunch of rotten meat. Take it from me, I work at the factory. I pack the meat into the machines . This is one of three brand new pieces at the @mortalmachinegallery booth in @scopeartshow Miami. This is always the case but this one REALLY looks better in person and I wish more of you could see it for real. . . . . . . . #meatpacking #collageart #handcutpaper #handcutcollage #surrealcollage #surrealist (at SCOPE Miami Beach) https://www.instagram.com/p/ClkIZXcOZ1R/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
Here’s something I learned today. We are sending children to do these jobs again. I really had hoped that we as a society had moved beyond these kinds of horrors. These plants shouldn’t exist and we certainly shouldn’t be sending children into them. #MeatPacking #osha #ChildLabor
This cookbook is much less of a novelty - but that's partially made up for by that wonderfully appetizing cover pic!
I'll just quickly point out that the National Live Stock and Meat Board "was officially organized to 'build demand by promoting the product'" in 1922. And that, in 1921 anti-trust legislation directly targeting the meatpacking industry had been enacted. Just sayin'.
A week into the new tour in support of her second solo album, the recently released Hole in My Head, Against Me! founder Laura Jane Grace was back in NYC on Saturday night for a sold-out show at Racket in the Meatpacking District.
the standard hotel is a great model of how a new building can be constructed in an architectural style that echoes past trends while introducing new elements. it's such an excellent homage to the international style that you'd be forgiven for thinking it dates to the 50s — actually, it was completed in 2009 — but the irregularity of turning two halves of the building at a slight angle (visible here as the tilt of the roof, which is in reality straight) is a postmodern touch that has no comparison in the style's skyscrapers around the city, like the UN building or columbia's SIPA. there's also the elevation (alluding to the citigroup building and le corbusier's piloti), supported by giant columns, letting the building float while also allowing the high line park (public flow through private property) to pass through, giving it a sense of monumentality and grandeur; at the same time, it imparts airiness and accessability by breaking the rectangular slab with space. great building 10/10
