Speaking of museums of modern art, I was so happy when I found out that the Museum of Modern Art in Kamakura has the touring Jean Prouve exhibit [1]. If you care about design, you’ll love it… if you love Jean Prouve, you’ll shit your pants. It’s an incredible show, drawing on the archives of Germany’s Vitra Design Museum as well as from the archives of Patrick Seguin [2] and other private collectors. You’ll see a Prouve-designed bicycle, prototypes for the Standard Chair, the Dismountable House [3], models, sketches, video, and oh so very much more. The show runs through January 16th.

Also, while waiting for the train up there, I photographed these ladies…
