Tom Shannon: The painter and the pendulum

Please watch this and be inspired.  I know I was. :)

TOM SHANNON: THE PAINTER AND THE PENDULUM

TED visits Tom Shannon in his Manhattan studio for an intimate look at his science-inspired art. An eye-opening, personal conversation with John Hockenberry reveals how nature’s forces — and the onset of Parkinson’s tremors — interact in his life and craft.

Artsprojekt – Make Money With Art

As soon as I find more info on this, I’ll post it up, but this seems like a dope idea.

From Wired:

Ex pro-skater, artist and entrepreneur Andy Howell talks about ‘Artsprojekt’, a place where artists can connect, collaborate, and showcase original art. They can also create everything from t-shirts to skateboards and sell them worldwide.

Inspired: Artist Josh Keyes

"Hive" by Josh Keyes

Josh Keyes – ‘Fragment’
Jonathan Levine Gallery

Josh Keyes is riding a tsunami wave of success. His work has appeared in multiple galleries over the past three years including David B. Smith gallery and Joshua Liner gallery, as well as on the covers of both Hi-Fructose and Juxtapoz within the past 8 months. At the heart of this success is a man focused on reconnecting with nature via his minimalist yet emotive new paintings featured in his solo show ‘Fragment’ at Jonathan LeVine gallery in NYC.The ten new works were created in Keyes’s signature style; acrylic on 30 x 40 inch wooden panels that show the joining of natural and man made landscapes, floating within blank white space.

Super Wonderful!- New Gallery in San Marco

Super Wonderful(Gallery) will open Friday, February 12 at 1992 San Marco Boulevard, right next to the San Marco Theater. Super Wonderful was established by Kyle Lemstrom, local artist and manager of the San Marco Theater. The first show will run from February 12 – 26 and will feature local artist including: Matt Allison, Clay Doran, Barrett Fiser, Tonya Lee, Kyle Lemstrom, and Jen Morgan. With a name like Super Wonderful, it has to be great.

Pop-up galleries have been happening across the country as stores close and landlords look for inventive ways to get tenants in their empty spaces. Locally downtown has seen the rise of pop-up galleries like NullSpace and 229 Hogan. There have been whispers about the San Marco merchants starting an Art Walk. Maybe with the addition of Super Wonderful, those whispers will become a reality. Super Wonderful will bring a new vibrancy to the Square for 2010.-BG
