Mad Quickies: making art from harassment, anxiety, myths, child sketches and more
Hey, kids, have a spoonful of Quickies to make this Monday go down much easier.
- “A Woman’s Room Online: An immersive experience of the daily harassment women face online” is by our very own chief, Amy Davis Roth, and it is an extraordinary art installation. Check out the site for the live feed of the gallery. Also, thanks to the super-awesome Dr. Phil Plait for his post Harassment as Art on Amy’s work, the installation and the back story. {ht Courtney for the live feed}
- 30 Under 30 is an excellent curation of 30 women photographers under the age of 30 from 2010 through 2014. Includes a substantial selection of images. {via Kerry S.}
- Andrea Gonzales and Sophie Houser are high school students who met at Girls Who Code. Their final project was this completely endearing game: Tampon Run. Play it online! {via Lauren L.}
- The art of Paul Reid is the art of mythmaking. Spectacular work from a gifted painter with a fascinating resume. {ht @FlyingTrilobite}
- The Mütter Museum in Philadelphia is one of my favorites. If you ever have the chance to go, do it! So much to see… except, at least, for these 11 things that are not on display.
- Rock on, Etsy, for banning the Redskins name and logo. {ht @artologica}
- The Memory of an Elephant: An Unforgettable Journey is a beautiful and most unusual children’s book illustrated in the style of mid-century design.
- Photographer John William Keedy as diagnosed with an anxiety disorder. He decided to document his illness and loneliness with the large-format series It’s Hardly Noticeable. At NPR.
- Canadian artist and mother Ruth Oosterman turned her 2-Year-Old’s Sketches Into Watercolor Paintings. Absolutely gorgeous results! {via Courtney}
