20x200 News

• Mike Sinclair got a shout-out in this week's New Yorker Photo Booth blog post, specifically for his rendition of a Midwestern July 4th, shot, appropriately enough, in Independence, Missouri (shown above). (Psst: editions of this print are still available.)

• Artist Mickey Smith had her enviably clean desk featured on Kate Donnelly's blog From Your Desks, a site dedicated solely to, "...the canvas of the desk." In a smart and understated show on one of our favorite topics, books, the work of Mickey Smith, as well as HHS! honorable mention Mary Ellen Bartley and Maira Kalman is on view at McKenzie Fine Art in Reader's Delight. The show is on view through August 6th.

• Karolina Karlic is graduating from CalArts! That means her MFA show is currently on view at the POV Gallery in L.A.'s Chinatown. If you're on the left coast, the opening reception is TONIGHT from 6-10pm. Full details of all participating artists and galleries can be found on the CalArts website.

• Our very own Youngna Park and Yijun Liao are featured in a show that bucks the trendiness trend. Irrelevant: Local Emerging Asian Artists Who Don't Make Work About Being Asian is on view at Arario Gallery. A write-up of the show is available here.

• For all those too-hot-to-be-moved in quick action, we extended our semi-annual RIDONK sale through last Tuesday evening. We only have 2 sales a year, and this was the last one before Christmas. Hope you partook, and cashed in on that 20% deal.

• Our awesome 20x200 intern Keren has been playing around on Polyvore, making fun room collages that include 20x200 editions. You can head to 20x200 Editions on Polyvore to start adding our editions to your own collages. Have fun!

• Having just this last birthday graduated to the next rung of tickey-boxes in most surveys, I most certainly appreciate the release of the new zine Get Off My Lawn, featuring the work of photographers 34 and over. Get Off My Lawn is also available for purchase online for $10 here and here. It's 7"x7", color laser printed, and available in an edition of 222. See Youngna's post, and if your interest is piqued, get your copy soon 'cause they're selling out fast!

• While the BP oil spill disaster enters its third month, artists have taken up arms in the tools of their trade—are taking to the streets, quite literally—and creating work in reaction to what's happening with big oil, birds and the environment. Read our full coverage here.
  

New Editions

No Fun Sleeping Under a Picture Like This + Pink Elephants by William Wegman

Hard at work this week responding to orders from our RIDONK sale, we released only one new edition this week, but it's a whopper of one. Our second release from the famed photographer William Wegman, there are still a handful of small prints left, so don't miss out! If you're in the city, Wegman also has work in the JBG Land Use Survey show.
