Art in a Can
A blogging site based in Madrid, Spain is calling on artists to use discarded drinking cans to create mini-masterpieces.
The site encourages artists to "Use the can as a blank canvas, express yourself on it, and send it to us. Just follow the specification: Keep the “easy open” for hanging it. The perimeter of the can is the limit. Do not use filled cans, it must be crushed."
Any individual or any group from anywhere in the world can be part of the project. The painted cans will be placed in a digital gallery on paintingcans.com and sold, displayed in a show in Madrid, and also published in a book.
The project is to support the use of mediums such as aluminum cans which are only limited to the brief time of their consumption and then not used again, and to encourage independent art. Whether its green, innovative, or just art; it is different.

Philly: Notations: Gilbert and George thru 11/2
From the outset of their joint career, Gilbert (British, born 1943) and George (British, born 1942) explored and redefined picture making while bridging the gap between art and life. Dressed in suits and often displaying decorous manners, the duo presents an image at odds with the brutal sincerity with which they expose their deepest desires and fears. Documenting the reality of daily existence through the lens of their unique sensibility, the artists present a poignant and all-embracing vision of life where marginality and isolation, unhappiness and despair, nature and urban beauty are tenderly revealed.
This presentation of large-scale pictures by Gilbert & George traces their stylistic departure from austere black and white and monochromatic compositions of the 1970s to the bolder clashes of images and colors in the 1980s. Constantly aware of the changes in the social and political climate, Gilbert and George address head-on the burning issues of our times--be it social marginality, religion, the AIDS crisis or multiculturalism--while at the same time defining a unique visual language. The quotations that unfold around the gallery space are by Gilbert & George, and their words address the viewer as directly and uncompromisingly as does their art. From the outset of their joint career, Gilbert (British, born 1943) and George (British, born 1942) explored and redefined picture mak... more -
