Acquired Art Crusade by Josh Rubin
An anonymous artist has stamped and hand screened 450 pieces of US currency. The project is meant to explore finding, giving and receiving art in an unexpected way. Currency is the ironic medium that gives underlying purpose to the exchange of each piece which is meant to take the class system out of ownership. Presumably, the circulation of this work will never be higher than it is today as people lucky enough to find one may be inclined to keep it.

Everland Hotel
by Tacita Vero Just opened, the Everland Hotel sits like a jewel on the roof of that treasure chest, the contemporary art space Palais De Tokyo in Paris.

Tattooed Steel
Founded by a Los Angeles-based artist/engineer, Jared Van Orman, Tattooed Steel's line of artist-designed jewelry is a way for the tattoo-shy or wearable art-obsessed to get more images on their body. Designs by Rose Hardy are modern takes on more traditional designs (like those by her father, Ed) and range from angels to surreal images, like a flower and eye (pictured left). Other images...
