Big day for 20x200: Lindsay Pollock broke news this morning about our Lawrence Weiner edition to be released on Wednesday AND Jen is interviewed in Fast Company’s Most Influential Women in Technology 2010. So proud!
Lindsay Pollock of Art Market Views broke the news earlier this morning of an A-List edition by conceptual artist Lawrence Weiner being released on 20x200 this Wednesday.
Lindsay writes:
Weiner’s work is likely to be among 20×200’s most challenging and least visually conventional collaborations. Jen Bekman, 20×200’s founder, met with Weiner last week in his studio to discuss the project. “I went to the meeting expecting to talk with him about how it might work, but he already knew what he wanted to do,” said Bekman. “He loves making work that lives in public and that a lot of people get to have relationships with.”
During his four decades of art making, Weiner has received plenty of acclaim from critics and curators. The biography listing awards and exhibitions posted on his dealer Marian Goodman’s website is seventeen pages long.
As always, subscribers to the mailing list will get the first word on the release of this edition.
The Big Sur Marathon is this Sunday, and @20x200’s very own @sldistin is running in it, in support of First Descents.

Second from the right!
Sure, Raul can draw tiny heads that perfectly evoke the moods and hairstyles of eleven of my esteemed colleagues, but let’s face it:
Your eye went straight to my hilarious robot first.
Raul has “always been able to draw exactly what people look like,” as demonstrated by this whiteboard illustration of most of team JBP!
Why You Should Buy Art by William Powhida
Just ordered this, but—not gonna lie—it took me a few minutes to decide whether or not buying it would be hypocritical.
Was up late last night collaborating with the JBP crew on cramming all the major art fairs, museums, some nice galleries + shops, a Taco Bell, and TWO zoos onto the back of Jason Polan’s—awesome!—hand drawn map that we’re handing out this weekend at the fairs. 8pt font to the rescue!
Oh, and jenbee is making me blush:
This is the back of the printed version of our opinionated map + guide to the 2010 NYC Art Fairs, painstakingly, logically and gorgeously laid out for us by the if-I-wasn’t-so-goddamned-principled-I’d-pluck-him-out-of-undergrad-and-give-him-a-fulltime-gig Casey Gollan.
Copies will be exclusively distributed in our nifty Art Fair Survival Kits, which we’ll be distributing to a few hundred fortunate fair-goers. Assembled in our rather handsome and reusable totebags, our kits will include this map, a swank city guide from Daily Candy, primping materials, things to eat (popcorn, for instance) and other surprises. And also: plenty of room for all the art-fair related things you’re bound to accumulate during your travels.
We’ve also got an online version of our 2010 NYC Art Fairs map here — less visually delightful, sure, but highly useful! (No popcorn though, you have to find us in person for that.)

Tufte is probably going to put a curse on me for making an infographic that straight up lies, but I have seen these prints in real life and they are pretty huge.
The 20x200 Blog: Ginormous Prints, 20% Off Through Noon Tomorrow
We wanted to illustrate just HOW FREAKIN’ GINORMOUS our 40”x50” prints are so we whipped up this handy infographic for you. Somewhere between Canary Wharf and the Empire State Building in scale, these editions will fill even the loneliest wall space.

Love this image by Ian Baguskas, it’s a lot more sinister than it appears.
Rincon Artificial Island and Pipeline, Ventura, California by Ian Baguskas
Rincon Island, built in 1958, is a man-made island off the coast of Ventura, California. Its palm trees are deceiving; infamous for its oil spills, the island is used to extract and transport crude oil to the shore.
Part of the series, Sweet Water, this imitation desert island is one of many instances throughout Southern California where artificial landscapes and environments have been built. In the course of my travels, I found places that seemed to defy both nature and reason having been transformed from desert into lush palm-tree groves, green lawns and lakes. Like the eroding Rincon Island, most of these transformations are not likely to last.
Casey, our awesome intern is helping us out with a super-important-but-exhaustive project. He wrote in today from home: “…going much faster thanks to the moral support of my dog, Miko.” Wish we had an office pup in HQ!
I can haz too much fun at work?
My favorite thing in the world besides chocolate is kittens on t-shirts. I have yet to collect any real winners. Casey wore this one to the office today. It will someday be mine.
