@abstanfield Tweekly

Each week here I share what I think are the best and brightest of my tweets on Twitter from the past 7 days. Usually, I repeat the exact tweet. I’m shaking things up this week.

FOR FUN & INSPIRATION

San Francisco Museum of Modern Art announces the acquisition of the MoMA logo (April Fools)
On April 1 (no foolin’) I participated in The Great Yawn, a free-form public art experience on Twitter–sponsored by @platea, “A Global Online Public Art Collective.”
Watched “IM Pei in China” on PBS American Masters. Excellent! Be sure to catch it in reruns or on DVD.

Loved seeing exhibit title “Fallis in Wonderland” (artist Abigail Fallis). The work is loosely related to Alice in Wonderland and plays off of success of the movie.
