Some friends invited me along to an opening this past Friday at the Oliver Kamm 5BE Gallery and I’m now recommending it to all. Seonna Hong was the artist who was featured. The work shown mainly consited of whimsical animals, that were sometimes accompanied by a little girl. Her technique was both striking and suddle, and the images she created have lingered in my imagination long after first seeing them.

‘PSST! Pass it On…’ is a collection of films where designers, directors, and animators collaborate to create shorts based on every art-nerd’s favorite game, Exquisite Corpse. The first PSST! project contained six films and was released in July 2006. The next installment, PSST! 2, contains nine films and is to be released online March 10th. There will also be a screening held in Tribeca on Wednesday, March 14th.

Dutch design studio LUST has recently opened the Generation Random: 10 Years of LUST exhibition at the <> tag gallery in The Hague. For this event LUST has created a new touch-screen interactive catalog to present a decade’s worth of work. To coincide with the event there will be various workshops and events happening while the show is up through the month of March. This includes a two-day workshop by David Reinfort on Semi-Automatic Generation and a city tour led by LUST and Luna Maurer that looks at physical locations where design, interactive media, architecture, and urban development overlap. I really wish I was in the Netherlands right now.
