I bought this book – Destination Art- when I was back east at the Storm King Art Center in New York. It is a great travel guide for anyone interested in visiting some sight specific works. If you like outdoor sculpture–check it out!

Animated short film by Lauri Warsta, Royal College of Art, London, 2009
Dictaphone Parcel is an animation based on a sound recorded with a dictaphone travelling secretly inside a parcel. As the hidden recorder travels through the global mail system, from London to Helsinki, it captures the unexpected. We hear a mixture of abstract sounds, various types of transport and even discussions between the mail workers. The animation visualizes this journey by creating an imaginary documentary.
Dictaphone Parcel was awarded the Passion Pictures Prize in London, in February 2010.
A while ago I found this amazing woman who does taxidermy art. Check her out shes amazing!
Here’s her website: Sarina Brewer :http://www.roguetaxidermy.com/members_detail.php?id=85
Photography Michael Wolf spends hours traveling around via google street view looking for private moments, surprises, mundane gestures and other anonymous people to create his images. ‘It looks as if Wolf is stealing moments of privacy when all he did was just spot and select scenes mechanically taken by Google’s vehicle.’
An interesting concept to say the least.

EXHIBITION: FATE OF THE FOREST
CALL TO ARTISTS
An Open Hanging
Presented at the Whatcom Museum Lightcatcher
June 4 – September 18, 2011
In celebration of our upcoming exhibition, Evergreen Muse: The Art of Elizabeth Colborne (1885-1948), the Whatcom Museum will be hosting FATE OF THE FOREST: AN OPEN HANGING. The reception for both exhibitions will be held on June 17, 2011.
Any artist who is a member of the Whatcom Museum can submit one exhibition-ready work in any media interpreting the Pacific Northwest forest. From alpine meadows and rocky peaks to surf-splashed coastline, the dense forests of the Pacific Northwest offer boundless inspiration for art. The exhibition will stimulate vital dialogue on the future of our forests while strengthening the Museum’s relationship with regional artists.
For the first time, the Whatcom Museum will be introducing a special artist membership rate: $30 for the year. As long as artists – or their representatives – can deliver and pick-up their artworks in person, it does not matter where they reside; participation is open to all members from any geographic area.
For more information about submission guidelines & deadlines, visit Whatcom Museum’s website:
