I curated a show on add-art, the firefox plugin that replaces internet advertisements with art. You can read my curator’s statement and install the plugin to see the show which will be up through the first week of December. It features five super talented artists who work with the language of geometry. Here’s a preview of a few of the 136 images that make up the show:

Fun-a-Day, a show I started with some friends almost seven years ago, is coming up again! The premise is simple: pick a project (take a photograph, make the bed, draw a picture, bake a cake, etc), do it every day in January, then show your work the following month in a big group show. There will be a bunch of shows around the country this year and everyone is invited to participate. Check out our site for more details and to post your project ideas. Or read our quick start guide to starting a Fun-a-Day show if you want to bring Fun-a-Day to your community.
