Catalog Gallery | Chris von Szombathy & Drew Shaffer: ‘Love is in the Error’

Gastown’s Catalog Gallery continues on their tear of amazing artist exhibitions month in, month out. This week marks the start of a new show by an artist we’ve been fortunate enough to connect with in the past. We interviewed Chris von Szombathy a little while back in our Cheaper Show No. 10 Warm-Up feature and now you can see some of his new work this coming Thursday. Read below:

Love is in the Error: Pathetic Solutions to Pathetic Problems is new work by the artists Chris von Szombathy & Drew Shaffer. This show of sculptural work puts forth their mutual conception that our actions are both pathetic and divine; that what is gauche is more revealing than what is graceful. Both artists’ work grows between Rococo and Pop branches and their work is proof that the exegesis of our existence is as ignored as it is apparent.

Designed By Thelermont Hupton

I love stumbling on incredible designs and then digging deeper to find out about the creatives behind the products. Case in point, the design studio of Thelermont Hupton. I can’t remember how I stumbled on their fine work but to say the least I am very inspired by what they produce and offer. What caught my attention with their products is the strong visual identity and the surprising functionality of each design.

Head over to the next page to see just a slim showing of their large catalog:

Score + Solder Terrariums

With each passing new year comes the desire to try and buy new things. For weeks I’ve been a little obsessed with these Score + Solder terrariums. Who knew horticulture could look so neat? Founder, Matt Cleland, hand-crafts each of these with glass and lead free solder. Terrarium shapes range from multiple sizes in quartz, diamonds, cubes and decahedrons. Each one also comes with a starter kit which includes rocks, sand, activated charcoal soil and a crystal. And for all of us novice green thumbs, he also provides you with instructions on how to set up this bad boy.
