Swoon, Chris Stain & The Polaroid Kidd

One of my professors (Nicholas Lampert) is a member of the Just Seeds collective which I just wrote about five minutes ago. In class he showed a pretty cool video of another installation by several members of the collective. The music in this video is absolutely euphoric and the art is pretty solid too! There will be a video of the most recent installation coming soon, but for now snack on this:

UWM Union Art Gallery Just Seeds exhibition(?)

This past week was awesome. About 13 Just Seeds artists flew in to work on an installation at the UWM Union Art Gallery. The other gallery assistants and many student volunteers worked for 6 days to transform the gallery into a... well, you'll just have to go check it out and see for yourself.

The opening was incredible. Almost 500 people showed up and there was an energy I haven't felt at an opening before. Who knew paper air plane fights could last three hours? Many people have said that this is the best show the UAG has had in many years, it certainly is the best I've seen since I moved to Milwaukee. I'll be posting images of the opening on the UAG website later. As a teaser these are some shots from the installation off the Just Seeds blog.
