Bierstadt with Holes, 2007 by Valerie Hegarty

Welcome back to the Week in Review! What's that, you ask? Every Friday we reminisce on the highlights of the week, point out some great things we saw on the internet and drop hints about what the future holds.

* Before we begin, I have a RIDICULOUSLY MAJOR, LAST MINUTE HINT: If you are not on the 20x200 mailing list, you would be wise to sign up for it RIGHT THIS SECOND. I can say no more, really, but sign up!!! *

Now back to our regularly scheduled programing:

New Editions
Let's face the facts: Valentines Day was invented by big evil corporations to sell greeting cards. Before you dip into your nearest drugstore to fulfill this Hallmark prophecy, may we suggest giving some art instead? Trust us, it's so much classier. For this very occasion, we have brought you these three totally lovable V-Day editions, so far, with more to come:

#51 by Kent Rogowski	#52 by Kent Rogowski	Lovebirds by Lisa Congdon

20x200 and Brooklyn Museum
On Saturday, February 6th from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m., join some of us from 20x200, including Ms. Jen B herself, at the Brooklyn Museum for a Target First Saturday event with 1stfans. We'll be giving away 10"x8" prints by artist Valerie Hegarty to new and renewing 1stfans members and Jen will be speaking to an intimate group of 1stfans at a meetup. Meetups are an opportunity for 1stfans to interact exclusively with the Museum's staff, its collections, artists, and other members every month at Target First Saturdays. Read more →

20x200 News

• 20x200 edition-maker Brian Ulrich will be giving a talk tonight at Hous Projects Gallery, and is part of a two-person show with Amy Stein currently open in Brooklyn. We've got all the details on that here.


• Dads love us! 20x200 got an awesome shout out from The Dad List, a parenting website for both dads and moms, recommending that you surround your kids with (affordable) art from an early age to help grow huge imaginations.


• We're thrilled that edition-maker Liz Kuball will be donating proceeds from a self-produced print to Haiti through wall space gallery's life support benefit sale. Go, Liz!


• You know you've made it when your work not only graces the cover of The New Yorker, but is projected on stage during a Stevenote!! You heard that right, the famous New Yorker cover by 20x200 Edition-Maker Jorge Colombo was shown in a demo of the Brushes app for the new Apple iPad.


• Last night at 92Y Tribeca, Art:21 threw an art/culture trivia night, Team 20x200 was competing fiercely, and though we didn't win, we were glad to throw in a few prints, gift certificates and totes for the winning team. Congratulations to all who played and thanks to Art:21 for an awesome night.


• Inspired by 20x200 edition-maker Lisa Congdon's new project, A Collection a Day, we put together our own collection of artists who are collectors.


• Edition-maker William Crump's piece Everlasting Light is in the group show VISION QUEST now on view at OBSERVATORY, a presentation/exhibition space in Gowanus, Brooklyn. The show is on view through February 21st.

Live With Art III by Mikey Burton

From the Web

• Mikey Burton, the designer who created our logo and awesome Live With Art posters (above!), was featured on Swissmiss this week. Woohoo!


• Somebody in the office has been anonymously brainstorming new 20x200 Brand Apparel. Perhaps we should stick with art.


• It's not that we don't love New York, but we're dying to go to Philadelphia. Why, you ask? Well, Maira Kalman (an artist on Jen's 20x200 wishlist) has a survey exhibition opening called Various Illuminations (of a Crazy World).


• Have you heard about YoGA @ MoMA? So cool! The yogis among us were bummed to have missed the chance to do our downward dogs under Gabriel Orozco's giant drawn on whale skeleton, but we're keeping our eyes peeled for next opportunity.
