A movie of the one exhibit so far of 25,000,000 Stitches, a very cool six+minutes. It sounds like there might be more exhibits coming up of this work in the near future, I hope I can go see it.

You might want to participate in this starting in February, #The100DayProject what you do is of course, all up to you, but making some sort of art every day for 100 days in a row is a great project to do for yourself.

One of my favorite collage artists, Barbara Kruger has an exhibit at the Art Institute of Chicago which you can experience via a 3-D walkthrough. Futura Bold for the win!

It would be a real treat to see these creations in person. I somehow missed the political commentary stop-motion movie Liberty & Justice that Sally Mavor and her husband created a few years ago.
