As 2012 comes to an end, we are taking a look back at some of our favorite posts of the year by our guest editors.
More than 10 years have passed since Rebecca Gates put out her solo debut, Ruby Series. The former member of the Spinanes mostly shifted her energy to other projects: coordinating and managing exhibitions for museums, lecturing at arts centers, composing music for dance and film, participating in performance pieces and stylizing photos for magazines. She also did some bookkeeping, retreated to Rhode Island and helped friends build a movie theater. But as time and money allowed, she also popped back into studios to put together her follow-up, The Float (12XU). Gates will be guest editing magnetmagazine.com all week. Read our brand new Q&A with her.

Gates: Aviator shades, rumpled suit, tennis shoes, off kilter, musing perfection. In my dreams, there’s a Bob Newhart and Mitch Hedberg round table where stilted verbal grace abounds.
