Welcome, art-minded alike souls, back to the Week In Review, where we dish out the week's best art-related links and events for your happy consumption. We've got a lot on the menu this week:
20x200 News
- A little bit of advance notice on where to catch 20x200 in action: We'll have all hands on deck at NYC's Affordable Art Fair next weekend. We'll be hosting a 20x200 Pop-Up Frame Shop Saturday, October 2nd and Sunday, October 3rd, from 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. We'll be posting more information on the blog, but if you're not already signed up for our newsletter, it's the best place to stay on top of our comings, goings and new edition releases.
- Prolific and environmentally mindful artist William Lamson has been enjoying a lot of positive press for his latest work, A Line Describing the Sun, currently on view through Pierogi's artist-run gallery located at The Boiler. Make sure to read the piece in the Huffington Post for a peek into what it is about Lamson's work that is leaving them all slack-jawed.
- Fernanda Cohen will be having a retrospective of her work at the Consulate General of Argentina Art Gallery from November 4-24th, 2010. The opening reception will be November 4th from 6-8pm.
- One of our favorite eyes-on-New York artists, Joseph O. Holmes will have work on view at the Capture Brooklyn photo exhibition at the Powerhouse Arena. The exhibition will be on view now through October 15th.
- Greg Lindquist will be having an exhibition, Odes (to the present forgotten), at the Ober Gallery in Kent, CT from October 2-28th. The opening reception is Sat, Oct 2, from 4-7 pm. A catalog will also be available. Lindquist also has work in a group show Planet of Slums, curated by Omar Lopez-Chahoud and La Toya Frazier, at Mason Gross Galleries, Rutgers University, New Brunswick, NJ from Sept 24-Oct 23, opening reception: Wed Oct 6, 5-7 p.m.
- Our ears were burning a bit from this happy plug we received from Annie Pauza, founder of Decorator in a Box. Happy to stop hanging up dime-a-dozen reproductions, Pauza boasts that 20x200 makes it possible for her to finally have an art collection of her own. We couldn't agree more—thanks for telling your readers about us!
- Not that we're prognosticators or anything, but we were pretty thrilled to read that Blurb's Photography Book Now awards selected three artists for prizes that are either 20x200 artists or were featured contenders in this round of Hey, Hot Shot! Contender Judith Stenneken took the top prize for her work on the closing of Berlin's Tempelhof airport, Last Call, and Emily Shur placed both as a first runner-up and an honorable mention for her works The Woods and Shizenkan. Our first-curator award winner, Phil Underdown, also claimed a first-runner up award for his book project Grassland. Congratulations to all, and stay tuned for the announcement next month of the 2010 Hot Shots!
- Valerie Hegarty is working her tromp l'oeil magic in a site-specific installation, Break-Through Miami at the Locust Projects gallery space in Miami. The show runs through October 16th, 2010.
- Ever want to take an art-related vacay? Lisa Congdon provides you with just that opportunity this October as she leads a 3-day/4-night painting workshop at a ranch in Oregon. Full details on the blog.
- Art Fag City's Paddy Johnson is on Kickstarter, with her project proposal Sound of Art: "...a limited edition vinyl LP composed of sounds heard in New York galleries, museums, and project spaces over the last five years." Read more about it and how to make a donation in our post.
