Collection #3, 2009, from the series Desire by Emily Noelle Lambert

Happy Friday, Collectors! Welcome back to Week In Review, a (somewhat) short-and-sweet recap of 20x200 news and links!

20x200 News

• Two new works by painter/skateboarder/Josef Albers-loving Sean Greene are included in Some (Are) Painting, the summer show at Jaeckel Gallery.
• Valerie Roybal will be unveiling her first ever exhibited textile work in a fiber arts show, Unraveling Tradition, at 516 ARTS in Albuquerque. The opening is Saturday, July 17, from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m., and the exhibition runs through Sept. 11, 2010.
• Emily Noelle Lambert currently has work in two exhibitions. At the Priska C. Juschka Gallery, Lambert's work is included in the group show Big Picture. From the press release:

  The pictures—all paintings—are big in terms of size, subject matter, energy, ambition and visual generosity. Many are aggressive or even garish in the color, they are often over worked, heavy layer upon layer of paint, combining dissonant styles and subject matter. These paintings are big in that there is a hell of a lot to look at.

  Big Picture runs through August 6th. Lambert also has work in Chicago's Thomas Robertello Gallery, in the show About Face, on view through the end of July.

• Also on our gallery-going list of must-sees are 20x200 artists Kevin Cyr and Jaclyn Mednicov in the Mixed Greens show Gimme Shelter. From the press release: "This show brings together 17 artists and investigates the delicate balance of perception of 'shelter': whether a space is inviting or uninhabitable, comforting or crumbling, being constructed or consumed." Be sure to make the opening, next Thursday, July 15th from 6 to 8:00 p.m., where there will be a Waffles & Dinges truck on hand offering s Belgian waffles with ice cream to soothe your sweet tooth.
• We're pleased as punch to have been featured as a daily dish pick this week, in a post highlighting our kid-friendly offerings. If you've got baby showers to go to, giving great art to deck the newborn's walls is a solid way to go.
• Speaking of online shout-outs, Chad Hagen received quite a favorable one on Motherboard, where they are as in love with his "nonsensical infographics" as we are.
• Ever seen a phrenology chart? Well Wendy MacNaughton, creator of our recently debuted and muchly loved Things Happen print, made a similar psychological map of her hometown of San Francisco for 7x7 Magazine. The feature also includes a great Q&A with the artist. Check it out!
• Ms. Jen Bekman has been selected to serve on the advisory board for the newly launched 25 for 25, which seeks to award twenty-five $25,000 grants to "tomorrow's ground breakers and visionaries," which specifically refers to journalists, artists and innovators. Read more about Jen's role and the grant here.
• Zoe Strauss is in the Gulf of Mexico, documenting landfall and the anxiety of landfall from the BP oil spill. She's crowd-sourcing donations for this documentary work on the arts-funding platform Projectsite, and would really appreciate a look-see at what she's doing and a possible donation to her work.
• Keep showing us your frames! We love seeing how our fellow art collectors are housing their 20x200 bounties in their homes. Send us your images of framed or otherwise displayed prints by uploading photos of your wall to our Facebook wall, and we'll post our favorites on the Facebook page.
