All Art Friday Spotlights
✦ The remarkable paper artist Werner Pfeiffer is the subject of a significant exhibition, through May 3, at Toledo Museum of Art: "Drawn, Cut & Layered"; an online exhibition site has been set up that presents six video segments from an interview with the artist (available on YouTube), lists exhibition-related programming, and spotlights, among other information, a 250-copy, signed and numbered box set of Werner miniatures, Paper Structures. The exhibition catalogue, including an essay, exhibition checklist, images, video, and demonstrations by the artist, is a multi-media e-book available at iTunes.

✦ "If you let art be a living force, it will tell you what to do; that is inspiration on the deepest level." Poet and writer John Yau's conversation with painter Bill Jensen is marvelous. Read "Bill Jensen by John Yau" at BOMB Magazine.
✦ No excuse now for not knowing The Art Story has a blog.
✦ In early March, the Scientific American art blog Symbiartic launched "SciArt Week", asking for artists to post images of scientific art (paintings, medical illustrations, etc.). On a single day, under the hashtag #sciart, almost 5,000 images were posted. Learn more in this Nature post "Celebration of Scientific Art Kicks Off Twitter Storm" (it includes images from several tweets). Fascinating and wonderful initiative!
✦ The video below is A Timeless Legacy - Women Artists of Glacier National Park. It previews the forthcoming exhibition of the same title at Hockaday Museum (May 28-July 18), Kalispell, Montana. This is the first show devoted solely to the women who paint or painted the wilderness: Carole Cooke, Kathryn Stats, Linda Tippetts, and Rachel Warner (all contemporary artists) and their forebears Else Jemme, Nellie Knopf, Katherine Leighton, Elizabeth Lochrie, Merle Olson, and Lucille Van Slyck. A DVD of the documentary and a limited-edition book will accompany the exhibition.
