Rose Art Museum
You may remember this from before: in 2009 Brandeis University in Waltham, MA had decided to close the Rose Art Museum [S|C|P Link and LA Times] and auction off the 6,000 works in its collection.
In a turn of events, i.e. settling [...]its legal dispute with a group of prominent museum supporters, including Meryl Rose, Jonathan Lee, Lois Foster and Gerald Fineberg, [...]who had been seeking to protect the collection from a full or partial sale.[...]
They have gone so far as to say that [...] the Rose will remain “open to the public and that Brandeis has no plan to sell artwork. [...]
The museum’s collection, valued at more than $300 million, includes works by Andy Warhol, Jasper Johns, Willem de Kooning, Roy Lichtenstein and Robert Rauschenberg.

If I only had one word to describe this I would use the word AWESOME.
The Ice Book (HD) from Davy and Kristin McGuire on Vimeo.
The Ice Book is a miniature theatre show, a pop-up book that comes to life as if by magic.
It tells the story of a mysterious princess who lures a boy into her magical world to warm her heart of ice. It is made from sheets of paper and light, designed to give a live audience an intimate and immersive experience of film, theatre, dance, mime and animation.
We created the show during a four month artist residency at the Kuenstlerdorf Schoeppingen in Germany. All we had was a 5D Mark ii, an old Macbook with After Effects, some builders lights and a green cloth that we improvised as a makeshift green-screen. Before we started we had no idea how to make pop-up books let alone how we could combine them with projections. With a lot of care, love and arguing the idea eventually came to life.
