Best Public Art Project of the Summer: Anna Schuleit Haber and Fitchburg, Massachusetts Newspaper
I love excellent type design. Anna Schuleit Haber convinced the local paper to use the front page for 26 days to display a new letter each day by an invited artist.

New and Old Glass Ceilings
With Spencer Finch's new ceiling in Seattle, I was reminded of some others by Carl Cheng and Seyed Alavi. Unfortunately, none of them compare well the late 19th century and early 20th.

Both artists made a name for themselves through a … [Read more...]
