What You're Told by Clare Grill at Jen Bekman Gallery, Installation Shot by Elizabeth Leitzell
Welcome back to the Week in Review, where we reminisce on the highlights of the week, point out all the great things we saw on the internet, and drop hints about what the future holds!
New Editions:
- Our photo edition this week was a beautiful-yet-sinister artificial landscape Rincon Artificial Island and Pipeline, Ventura, California by Ian Baguskas.
- Our fine-art edition was a brightly colorful off-the-grid island-scape titled Gauntlet by Rachell Sumpter.
20x200 News:
- Last week we posted a guide to Buying Art to Benefit Haiti and today we posted Even More Ways to Buy Art (& Design) to Benefit Haiti, an update including your suggestions and additions to the list. If you have contributions, please let us know!
- Gary Petersen has been included in a group show titled Paper Works which opens tonight in Brooklyn!
- Ms. Jen Bekman herself wants to know which artists you would love to see 20x200 editions from. She posted her own wishlist on Tumblr and you can comment on this post to chime in!
On the Web:
- We had lots of fun at the opening of Clare Grill's What You're Told opening last week. The reception was packed and the tweets were full of praise. We're delighted to hear that others love Clare's work as much as we do! We posted two sets on our Flickr: photographs from the opening and installation shots taken by photographer Elizabeth Leitzell.
- Youngna spotted the sold-out 20x200 edition Prospect Park by Joe Holmes in a photo posted by her friend Brian Ferry. Boy does it look good framed. If you've got framed 20x200 editions in your home or office, let us know by leaving a link to the image in the comments.
- William Crump was interviewed by LittleBird Gallery and had some some really wonderful things to say about how working with 20x200 has given him support and exposure as an artist.
- Edition-makers Penelope Umbrico and Jessica Eaton, as well as Hey, Hot Shot! Panelist Lesley A. Martin are included in the upcoming photography magazine Lay Flat 02: Meta
- Kevin Miyazaki posted a beautiful photo on his blog this week. If you haven't collected his two 20x200 editions yet you are seriously missing out.
- Jeffrey posted about Holly Lynton's great new work-in-progress on the JBG Blog. Her photo The Turkey Madonna is pretty unforgettable.
- Austin Kleon has been making waves across Tumblr and blogs in general with his Newspaper Blackout series, including Agoraphobia, released last week. If you haven't yet seen this snapshot of Austin's process and timelapse video then head on over to our Tumblr to check them out. And, how great is this DIY Blackout Poem that someone created in response to Austin's? So great!
- The name of our very own Raul Gutierrez popped up on someone's name tag at a recent Creative Mornings event with Michael Bierut, in answer to the question: "If I could have any Creative Mornings speaker it would be..."
Hot Shot Q&As:
- On Monday we posted our final Hot Shot Q&A, meaning all five are now available online. This is a great way to get to know this round of Hot Shots and future 20x200 edition-makers: Jessica Eaton, Justin James King, Alejandro Cartagena, Leah Tepper Byrne, Marisa Aragona
