  • Jen Catron and Paul Outlaw, who you may remember from the AFCRPAAaA*, won Creative Time’s sandcastle-building competition last Friday. In keeping with their longstanding interest in needlessly elevating people, they created a multi-tiered human fountain and spit on each other. Ryan McNamara, meanwhile, buried people in polygons.

  • AFC likes Randy Kennedy’s survey of art bookshops and art-book shops. [NY Times]
