••• New York magazine’s Design Hunting checks out the 4,000-square-foot home/studio of Tribeca artist Kathryn Lynch. I can’t quite justify making it into a Loft Peeping post because most of the photos are of her art—the painting of a dog mid-poop is a keeper—and the ones that aren’t are rather bare.

Visitors will find two floors of expanded gallery space, cleaned, updated and re-envisioned by a new team of experts.

••• J.C. Chandor, the director and Oscar-nominated writer of Margin Call, got the idea for the film when “he was working as a real estate broker and developer in Manhattan. While renovating a building in Tribeca, he received an early tip from a financial insider that he should sell it, before the market crashed in 2008. ‘I started to think back on what was it like for that guy to be the first person’ with knowledge of the coming crisis, Mr. Chandor said. ‘Do you intervene? Who do you tell?'” —The New York Times (which calls the film a thriller, which makes me think they didn’t see it)
