Also currently on view at Haunch is Polly Morgan’s Psychopomps room installation. Totally worth seeing for olfactory reasons even if you’re already familiar/bored with her oeuvre.

Perfect Interior of the Day XXVII: Symon Chow

NYNHM by Joao Ruas, 2010 - taken at the American Museum of Natural History, I reckon.

Yay! Finally a great use for Mr Armadillo the Terrible VIII!

Mr Armadillo the Terrible VIII and I back in 1899 or so..

Perfect Interior of the Day XIX:

I almost bought a bloated Victorian frog in the exact same position as the one above at Spitalfields today, but it had this really scary expression of immanent explosion on its blown-up face so I passed and went for a haunted 3-faced doll’s head instead.

P.S.: If you ever find yourself in the beautiful little village of Estavayer-le-Lac in the French part of Helvetia for some obscure reason, go see the Musée des Grenouilles. You won’t regret it.

This might be the one in Paris, actually, it looks awfully familiar. And awfully perfect. I can only dream of having not just this much taxidermy, but such a wonderful array. Plus some nice big Parisian windows, please. Somewhere recently, I heard them described ‘windows like doors’, I really like that.

Perfect Interior of the Day XVII: Yep, that’s indeed Deyrolle - after the fire, I should think. Looks like a fairly recent picture to me.

So happy it is still around after the fire - I feared I would never have a chance to experience it!

From what I’ve seen so far it looks better than ever. Like a phoenix… arggh… let’s not go there, shall we? :)

I wrote about the photo exhibition that documented the fire - Touché par le feu - earlier this year if you’re interested. x

Thanks to these shoes, I am currently reeling in a giddy, dizzying, vaguely nauseating conflation of emotions. (Angeliska, where the hell did you find them?!)

They’re the Moulded Mole slippers by Studio Van Eijk & Van der Lubbe, 2004 - to be seen at the V&A’s Telling Tales exhibition that closed its gates last week.
