Objet is a two-part creative collective of KC artists, and a shop that specializes in seasonal lifestyle products and generative happenings. The images above are from an Objet weapons workshop, and yes the finished products are for sale. Objet is sincere in its disinterest. It’s (post)aestheticism in exactly the way that Adorno reacts critically on Kant’s aesthetic judgment. The (post)aestheticist diagnose the destabilization of reason and provide new interpretations of rationalistic principles of the Enlightenment that are necessarily intertwined with the current problems. The best way to ease yourself into this contemporary art movement is to read Objet co-founder Dean Roper’s interview with LVL3 Media.

The Rabbit Hole | The Incredible Painting of Felix Clousseau
400 E. 17th St.Crossroads Arts District Fridays 4-8, Saturdays 10-5, and Sundays 12-4 through May 20

What if you could walk into a book? Pages turn to passages and corridors in the Rabbit Hole’s first full-scale immersive storybook prototype “Explorastorium.” A 4,000 square-foot temporary space located in the Crossroads Arts District will be transformed into Jon Agee’s beloved picture book classic, The Incredible Painting of Felix Clousseau. Visitors walk into 19th-century Paris where an unknown artist enters the Palace’s Grand Contest of Art and a chain of bizarre events ensues. The story unfolds in an environment that is interactive art installation, narrative journey, jungle gym, and art gallery. This storybook prototype demonstrates a key component of the Rabbit Hole’s larger vision to create a national center for the children’s book here in Kansas City. Visitors are asked to visit rabbitholekc.org/felix-clousseau and reserve a time for a short docent lead tour.  A $3 donation per person is suggested. Help the Rabbit Hole create a visionary national center for the children’s book for young and old alike by donating to their Indiegogocampaign!

The Rabbit Hole studios is one of our favorite neighbors, sitting right next to ArtsKC at 110 Southwest Blvd.
