signed Freeing Lunch #RANK texts ready to travel to Florida
Today, the United States wakes up from our tryptophan induced slumber and head out to the malls for holiday shopping in what the retail world calls Black Friday. Next week, the art world heads to the Miami Art Fairs to buy, sell, browse, work, network, blog, drink and, in general, hang out.
This year, MTAA will attempt to send four new artworks to Miami as part of Jennifer Dalton and William Powhida #RANK project with Winkleman Gallery at Seven.
Together the artworks are titled Freeing Lunch #RANK. You can find details on the project on the Freeing Lunch #RANK website. The site, along with the MTAA-RR blog, will be updated with documentation as the project unfolds.
So, if you are out shopping today, relax and try to be kind. If you find yourself in Miami next week, stop by #RANK and check out Freeing Lunch. Tag any photos, video or thoughts on the work with #RANK and #MTAA and will add it to the documentation. permanent link to this post

Consider The Panda
posted at 14:17 GMT by M.River in /news/mriver
If tasked with a Noah’s Ark 2.0 scenario and we come up short on cargo space, let us pack extra earthworms, frogs and bees. Let’s leave the pandas behind.
The current population of roughly 3,000 giant pandas, or panda (Ailuropoda melanoleuca) spend their slow days snacking on 20 to 30 pounds of bamboo followed by nights of notoriously lousy breeding. Like the unicorns, fabled rejects in the first great world flushing, pandas might be better suited as poster children than Darwinian positive members of our planet. They are perfect fuzzy icons for the World Wildlife crowd. And, perhaps, a perfect icon for the rarefied ecology know as contemporary art.
