Ed. Varie the East Village gallery and bookshop has quietly been organizing some exciting shows and events including last year’s launch of Apartamento #5 where they hosted “Tasca, Everyday Life Recipes,” a dinner event that was held over 3 nights. For their latest exhibition “Departure,” featuring polaroids from Amanda Marsailis and Thayer Allyson Gowdy, Ed. Varie teamed up with Makr Carry Goods to develop a case made especially for Polaroid’s iconic SX-70 camera. Manufactured from 1972-1981, the SX-70 was the number one selling camera in America at one point. The collectibility and cult-like following of the SX-70 gave the camera iconic status with some fetching upwards to $500 on eBay. The design of the case is based on the original and updated with Makr’s signature stitching and top notch material and construction. Only 10 were produced. The show is on view for only one more day, this Thursday, June 30th from 12-6 and the cases may not last much longer. Contact Ed. Varie for more details.
