Marina Abramovic and Ulay started an intense love story in the 70s, performing art out of the van they lived in. When they felt the relationship had run its course, they decided to walk the Great Wall of China, each from one end, meeting for one last big hug in the middle and never seeing each other again.
At her 2010 MoMa retrospective Marina performed ‘The Artist Is Present’ as part of...

I arrived at work this morning to the phone ringing off the hook, numerous emails, and a to-do list as long as my arm. Happy Valentine's Day, right?
A man walked into the gallery and stood in awe in front of a large Jack Bush painting hanging out front. I approached him and asked if he’d ever visited us before.

In a week where we have seen how the actions of one person can affect so many in such a horrific way, we thought it would be fitting to highlight an artist who has used his work to positively influence others around the world.
JR, is a French street artist who exhibits in the biggest art gallery in the world.
He exhibits freely in the streets of the world, catching the attention of people who are not typical museum visitors. His work mixes Art and Act, talks about commitment, freedom, identity and limit.

We are huge fans of kickstarter! If you don't already know what kickstarter is, it's an all-or-nothing funding platform for individuals, or groups to gain the funding they need for a particular project.
there are 13 categories, in which the website is divided into: art, comics, dance, design, fashion, film & video, food, games, music, photography, publishing, technology, and theater.
