As gimmicks go, this one from diver and photographer Andreas Franke is pretty smart: The novelty of an “underwater gallery” is likely to bring lots of attention to his work in the press (heck, it worked for me), and the situation of the exhibit itself pre-screens for clients who are wealthy enough, both in terms of free time and in terms of disposable income, to appreciate and buy expensive art.
If you’re in town for World Maker Faire New York and have a little extra time to make your way to the Museum of Modern Art, I recommend checking out their Talk to Me exhibition, which features many of the projects we’ve posted about on this blog such as Boticalls and Cubelets.
Here’s by way of a can-we-still-be-friends for those annoyed by yesterday’s steampunk toilet post. The Museum of the History of Science at Oxford’s Old Ashmolean building is hosting an exhibit of contemporary steampunk art curated by Art Donovan. It runs from today until February 21, 2010. If you’re interested in steampunk and you’re anywhere near the UK during that time it’s probably worth checking out.
Dinosaurs and Robots points us to this incredible set of photos showing how exhibits are prepared at the American Museum of Natural History.
