Core-fave Subports, a text-to-buy retail platform aimed at helping artists and designers sell their stuff without needing four walls, a roof and a cash register, is ever present during this year's design week, partnering with Fair Folks & A Goat, the Joey Roth Sounds Like Show, Uncomfortable Conversations, and CITE Goes America. Many objects from these shows come with codes, allowing you to purchase them securely and on the spot with your cell phone. We love this—with Subports, exhibition spaces hybridize with retail spaces, helping young designers sell work while upping their visibility.

Subports' just-published first catalog is one of the more fun publications being tossed around at openings. Named Portal/76825 after their SMS number, the pamphlet indexes the newest Subports offerings with images, descriptions, and purchase codes. Many of these come directly out of Design Week, so it also makes for a nice souvenir. Pick one up at any of the Subports partner shows mentioned above. Or get in touch with them if you've got ideas for more retail experiments with SMS.
