The massive two-museum blast of Dynasty , an exhibition of 40 artists at the Palais de Tokyo and the Musée d’Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris , is something of a moveable feast of contemporary French art – a collision of dust and Disney with a bit of dinnertime thrown in. The concept, launched by directors Marc-Olivier Wahler and Fabrice Hergott was to invite youngish artists working in France to exhibit two sets of works in each museum. (The two art spaces sit side-by-side looking out towards the Seine River).

I read a interesting blog post from the Baltimore Sun recently about a holiday savings program Toys R Us is starting. The idea of the program is to encourage people to start saving for their holiday shopping now, so that buying presents won’t be as much of a burden later in the year. While it’s great that a store is encouraging people save money for big purchases, the author of the blog post points out that you may get a better return on your investment from a bank or other type of savings plan

I am smitten with this highly inventive and entertaining animated film: Something Left, Something Taken . It was created by husband-and-wife team Max Poter and Ru Kuwahata of Tiny Inventions . What’s special about the short is how it blends so many types of animation — hand-drawn, stop motion, After Effects, and even some good old fashioned puppetry — all with a charming hand-made crafty feel.
