Opening October 12, visit a full-scale replica of Korean-born artist Do Ho Suh’s former New York City apartment—complete with light fixtures, radiators, and even an intercom! Titled Perfect Home ll, the replica draws upon ideas of cultural displacement, a longing for home, and the important connections we make between physical places and memory. 

This presentation is part of our One Brooklyn series, which focuses on an individual work chosen from our encyclopedic collection to reveal the many stories woven into a single work of art. Take a walk through this new contemporary artwork from October 12–January 27, 2019.

Everybody has a secret world inside of them. All of the people of the world, I mean everybody. No matter how dull and boring they are on the outside, inside them they’ve all got unimaginable, magnificent, wonderful, stupid, amazing worlds. Not just one world. Hundreds of them. Thousands maybe.

Nothing I've come across means anything anymore but it also means so much, yes it gets complicated. But what good story isn't?

Art is widespread, actually at this point, maybe even possibly thinly spread.

Y'all gotta stop “educating” people with a tone that implies they’re stupid for not knowing the shit already. Condescending asses.

It's easy to look at loss as a hollow pit but really it's like chewing gum so long it hurts your jaw, by then it already tastes like paper anyway... so who cares that you accidentally swallowed it?

It’s normal to talk about periods: A message from the guys at Clue

At Clue, we believe period tracking and reproductive health are relevant to everyone — not just those with a menstrual cycle. That’s why we created Clue Connect, a feature that enables users to share their cycle information with their partners to open up the conversation and share the responsibility of understanding reproductive health.

Some people are surprised to hear that members of our team DON’T have a period, so last year we asked our XY employees why they work for a period tracking app. Now we’re asking them why they’re comfortable talking about periods and for any advice they have for people who aren’t open to the topic.

1. Jón, Director of Engineering

“I’ve had the good fortune to be surrounded by strong women throughout my life. In fact you could say I was raised by women. So I’ve really always seen it as a normal part of life, which is exactly what it is. That said, working at Clue has taught me a lot as well. I’ve learned so many things, both from the people here and the product, and I’ve realized how important it is to understand what the female cycle is about to feel comfortable discussing it.”

“Be curious. Learn about them. For me, any discomfort I used to feel when talking about periods came from being out of my comfort zone, because I didn’t feel like I knew what I was talking about. Inevitably, the female cycle is a part of our lives too, so it really is worth taking the time to understand it better.”

2. Florent, Backend Engineer

“They are part of everyday life for the majority of the population, and as such, I don’t want to make it a taboo. It’s not because you don’t have periods yourself that you can’t talk about it or ask questions.”

3. Sven, Data Scientist

“The more you talk about it, the more comfortable you get. Be bloody brave! It won’t hurt you to better understand 50% of the population.”

Her heart is held together by safety pins. Every lover sticks a new one in; she’s a human pincushion with a love for caramel macchiatos. She has heart attacks a lot, usually while sitting in coffee shops.

I like the idea of being unsure, the anticipation that layers itself deeply in not knowing. The fear that slaps itself across your face at the first sight of change. I love what happens after winter. Spring.

I want to see you again through acid eyes. I want to see your love for me seep through your pores in purple hues. I want to feel my soul soaring above the clouds, when you grab my face and kiss me. I want to feel your touch just one last time. No words needed, just silence and hallucinations.

I just had one of those moments that hit you mostly after spending a little too much time trolling around social media. 

Yes ladies and gents I’m about to rant, but let’s not act like we don’t find these rants semi amusing. Everyone lives for a healthy amount of banter on these web coded streets. 

Anyway, I just read a very heartfelt post by a man about how he wishes that women would take things a little less seriously. According to him, you can’t be with a chick, flirt here and there, and throw in a roast for good fun without her getting super personal with you...

Guy: Your toes look like they’ve been dipped in hot water since birth.

Girl:  Well fuck, you ain’t shit, you earn minimum wage and your daddy left you!

So naturally I giggled a little after reading that. Hell typa chicks is this homie dating is the real question here. Brothers (you know yourselves) let’s not blame your taste in crazy on all women. You like living on the edge, you love the idea of a woman stalking the shit out of you, you like arguing over shit you don’t understand and you especially love watching her arms to see which side the next flying object will be coming from. It’s cool man, that’s your type (apparently there’s someone for everyone) but let’s not pretend your type is the only type of woman out there. 

We (all sexes) need to stop fearing women for their emotions. We need to stop acting like being hormonal is a disease that aims to destroy the female species. We don’t have to act like we understand what the hell happens in each others heads (pick a homie to experiment on and live hellishly ever after if you insist on knowing). It’s completely okay that the way we work makes no sense, it was never meant to.

Let’s fear woman for what they really are, hungry fragile beasts coming after everything you thought you knew.

When things don't work out with your wife are you finally going to start dating white women once you realize that black women ain't shit.

if my wife left me and magically came back with a secret black woman seal team consisting of her, harriet tubman, florida evans, michelle obama, oprah, and claire huxtable, and they broke into my home, burned everything I own and beat me with natural hair products until i bled shea moisture outta my pores as i watched everything i love be slowly reduced to ashes, they could ride off in a cadillac playing erykah badu and id still be like -43% interested in this bullshit u talkin about
