So much to love about this boxed set of puzzles…the price tag, the die-cut patterns, the actual-size poster.

A boxed set of rubber stamps from France.

Throwback to last year’s @halifaxartbookfair and some of the people who made a “Collaborative Hole Punch Drawing” with me. This year’s Halifax Art Book Fair happens August 22nd & 23rd at the All Nations Church. The Collaborative Hole Punch Drawing is an ongoing project in which I collaborate with others to make a drawing consisting of one or more holes punched in a piece of paper. The project was initiated in 2018 and first presented at the Toronto Art Book Fair but I have taken the project on the road a few times since. In addition to Halifax in 2024, I presented the project at The Prairie Art Book Fair in Winnipeg in 2018, at the @eskerfoundation in Calgary in 2019, and at the @unlimited_edition_seoul in Seoul, Korea in 2023. I have also done some long distance ones including as a version which took the form of Issue No. 12 of @fifthsyllable’s A 3/4 publication, which was published last year.

A rather nice, appropriate, original Mel Bochner drawing on the front endpaper of his 2007 Domaine de Kerguéhennec publication. Great provenance too, as this copy was owned by Elaine Lustig Cohen. Mel and Elaine were friends. @elainelustigcohen @melbochner.studio #melbochner

My mom was ridiculously creative. As an example, in 1966 she was in charge of decorations for the Angels’ Ball in Winnipeg and she made these as centerpieces for the tables. Made almost 60 years ago and still looking great.

I just found my notebook (image 2) that had the very first rudimentary sketch of the idea for the wall drawing I installed last fall at @einbuch.haus (images 1, 6). The wall drawing is based on an illustration of “evaporation in a closed vessel” (images 3, 4). When I made the sketch I only had a vague memory of what the illustration looked like. Image 5 was also a sketch, made on top of a photocopy, but this time I had access to the source illustration so it’s a lot more accurate. Once I decided to move forward with this wall drawing, I worked with @lnaftolin to rationalize the drawing into a number of standardized shapes. We settled on 7 different rectangles and 5 different sized circles. A version of this wall work will be a big part of my upcoming solo exhibition at @mkg127, opening mid October.

Micah Lexier Sixty-One Found Things (六十一个拾得之物), 2025 摄影拼贴，乙烯基UV喷绘 1670 cm x 200 cm，场地特定装置
2025.6.26 - 2025.8.26 Shanghai Micah Lexier 的《Found Things》系列将日常物件转化为对形式、记忆与意义的深刻探 索。该系列收集了废弃的纸板、教学工具、游戏、拼图和实用物件，展现了Lexier 对被忽视的和短暂事物的迷恋。每件系列作品，无论是陈列于展柜中、制成拼图，还是通过其他媒介呈现，都邀请观众重新思考普通材料的审美与观念潜力。 相比 Lexier 其他公共艺术作品中的简洁语言与空间秩序，《Found Things》更强调“发现”作为创作起点的可能性。Lexier 像一位视觉诗人，通过物件的拾得与再语境化，探讨时间如何塑造物质的痕迹，而人的分类本能又如何与偶然性博弈。观看者在拼图的缝隙间行走，共同完成一场关于遗失、记忆与重组的集体想象。 Micah Lexier’s Found Things series transforms everyday objects into a profound exploration of form, memory, and meaning. The series gathers discarded cardboard, educational tools, games, puzzles, and utilitarian items, reflecting Lexier’s fascination with the overlooked and ephemeral. Each work in the series—whether displayed in vitrines, crafted into puzzles, or presented through other media—invites viewers to reconsider the aesthetic and conceptual potential of ordinary materials. In contrast to the restrained language and spatial order of Lexier’s other public art projects, Found Things emphasizes the possibility of “discovery” as a creative starting point. Like a visual poet, Lexier engages with found objects and their recontextualization, probing how time shapes the traces of materiality and how the human instinct for classification contends with chance. As viewers navigate the interstices of the puzzle-like installation, they participate in a collective imagining of loss, memory, and reconfiguration.
