Happy Monday-after-Christmas, collectors! What a wonderful year it's been for us at 20x200. We hope that you've enjoyed this year's editions, along with the other goodies we've brought you: a handy framing how-to video, gift wrap and framed prints, along with prints benefiting some of our favorite organizations like Creative Time and the Cooper-Hewitt! For those of you still enjoying the warmth of friends, family and scrumptious food tonight and this weekend, and those of you back at the office, here are last week's art-related highlights:

• As always, the artists behind our editions are ever busy producing more projects and we couldn't be happier for them. The 2011 New Yorker Goings On About Town calendar will feature work from Landon Nordeman.


• Joe Holmes's exhibition Urban Wilderness is on view at Jen Bekman Gallery through January 16, so hop to if you haven't gotten the chance to see it yet. Note: The gallery will be closed for the holidays through tomorrow, December 28 as well as December 31 and New Year's Day.
  


• Eirik Johnson, the 2010 Foster Prize recipient who we've had much to say about, has a photographic sound-based installation, Madre de Dios, on view at the ICA in Boston through January 16. If you won't be in that neck of the New England woods in time to see it in person, check out some video of the installation.
• The indefatigable Jason Polan is still at it, creating those humorous, evocative portraits of the fine people of New York City. NPR's The Picture Show recently weighed in on the project themselves and featured a selection of images from the series that you might want to take a look at.
• This week we also got a once-every-400-years treat: an absolutely jaw-dropping lunar eclipse that happened to fall on the same day as the winter solstice. On the Hey, Hot Shot! blog, Youngna offered up some great images of the ruby-glowing moon along with host of links even more photographs.
• In addition to all the two f's of the holiday season (that's food and family, folks), there is also the overwhelming presence of music: carols, song and instrumentation are a huge part of many winter celebrations. This week, Emma's post draws out a common link between visual art and music, and offers a nice look back at some music-related 20x200 editions that you probably haven't seen in a while.
• Thank you all for a stupendous year!
