TGIF collectors—not because we're tired, but because—we're totally excited to bring you a new feature called Week in Review. Every Friday from today til' infinity we will 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! Let's do this thing:

What we've been up to:

• Tomorrow is the absolute last day that you will be able to catch Mixtape at Jen Bekman Gallery! From time-to-time we sneak a few 20x200 editions into shows at the JBG, but once a year we put on a show like Mixtape that is overflowing with genuine 20x200 editions. Earlier in the week we rounded up these editions for people who wish to bring a little Mixtape into their own homes.
• Have you heard about the next show at JBG? A solo show of paintings by 20x200 edition-maker Clare Grill. We can't wait to get these gorgeous works up on the walls.
• As if three blogs wasn't enough for you, JBP is officially on Tumblr! We haven't made a fuss about it yet since we're still kicking the tires, but it's a casual running dialogue from our team in New York (a.k.a. an opportunity for us to share the funny things we find on the internet and drop hints about upcoming editions, exhibitions and things you can look forward to from JBP). If you're on Tumblr, follow us for the inside scoop.

New editions:

• Our art edition this week was the kaleidoscopic Mixup by Gary Petersen. If you get down to the JBG by tomorrow, the original painting is definitely worth a look!
• For our photo release, we unveiled another gorgeous Starn edition titled alleverythingthatisyou sno6_005. This nearly sold-out snowflake is so hot that it almost brought down our poor servers!

Press:

• Fashion designer Isaac Mizrahi was literally wowed by 20x200 in a video we posted earlier this week.

Openings:

• On Wednesday, a whole bunch of us headed to Brooklyn to catch the opening of Leonards for Leonard & 5,537,594 Suns (above), two found-photographic installations at BAM by edition-maker Penelope Umbrico. The works are photographic in the unorthodox sense that Umbrico used printouts of photographs she found on Google Images and Flickr to create her installations. See this next time you catch a movie at BAM, highly recommended!

• Versus, a show pitting photographers against each other as well as pairing them together, opened at Hous Projects yesterday. The show includes 2008 Second Edition Hot Shot Cara Phillips, photographer and 20x200 edition-maker Brian Ulrich, and 2008 Second Edition Honorable Mention Alex Leme, among others.

Hot Shot Q&As:

• If you really want to be ahead of the curve with your collecting, then check out our awesome Hot Shot Q&As. Chances are you'll see some editions from these folks in the coming months. This week we heard from Leah Tepper Byrne and Alejandro Cartagena. The last three Q&As will run this coming Monday, Wednesday and the Monday after that, so get pumped and stay tuned.
