And now, a brief peek into some of the minds at Jen Bekman World Domination HQ, as seen through our IM conversations
Lia ok, i think this has got to be my favorite news story of the day
Lia http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2008/apr/04/france.britishidentity
Lia France "currently preoccupied with the fate of its ailing semicolon."
Jen omg
Jen BEST THING EVAR
Lia i know!
Jen there's more wacky news from france too
Jen http://edwardwinkleman.blogspot.com/2008/04/interest-free-loans-to-buy-art.html
Jen "the French government is proposing interest-free loans (up to $10,000) to less wealthy people toward the purchase of art"
Jen i just think it's so FRENCH
Jen and also kind of cool
Okay, so having art on your walls is never going to be an addendum to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and it's not like France doesn't have its fair share of problems far more urgent than sluggish art sales, but stop for a moment and think of how great a future would be in which humanity gets its act together enough that people not having enough access to art in their daily lives can qualify as a pressing concern for governments. I can only hope it does not involve jumpsuits! In the meantime, we'll keep doing our part to make fine art more accessible to everyone (not just the "less wealthy") with awesome prints that start at an affordable $20.
