News from Jaclyn Medincov

Posting some good news from Jaclyn Medincov...

I have exciting news to share with you! My artwork has just been released on the website www.20x200.com.

Take a look at:
http://www.20x200.com/email/edition-announcement-142-jaclyn-mednicov.html 20x200 is a site that sells affordable fine art prints. They have chosen two of my paintings on paper to reproduce into archival prints of various sizes. This is a great way to get some inexpensive art for yourself or a gift to your loved ones, co-workers, strangers... whomever you feel like giving to! Even if you never thought of having art in your home this is a great way to try it out. Also if you have a second and want to learn about other artists it is easy to sign up and receive weekly newsletters from 20x200. Please spread the word!

I have more good news! I am in the current #80 edition of New American Paintings magazine. You can find it at your local Barnes and Noble or order it from www.newamericanpaintings.com. They feature 40 emerging artists in each book. If it is not out yet it should be shortly so please keep checking.

And finally I have a new website, www.jaclynmednicov.com

Thank you and I hope this finds everyone well and staying warm this winter!

Artistic Collaborations

It's not every day that artists meet other artists who are interested in so many of the same things, and even have an appreciation for one another's aesthetic.

I have known Tokyo-based Colombian artist Klaus Fruchtnis for many years, but it is just recently that we discovered our similar interests in using photography as a way to capture urban spaces, in particular public ones. We also seem to always end up in language-based exercises.

We first collaborated on the Thing-a-Day blog run by some great people over at Eyebeam, and most recently decided to continue these ideas in a project we are calling Cross Urban.

I also recently met Brooklyn-based artist Annie Leist, (we were in a group show together at Broadway Gallery) and when I read her artist statement, I had to make sure I was not reading my own. I'm sure we'll find a way to work together as well - something I look forward to!

Recent (old) Work

I actually dug these two images out of my vault recently. The one with the lens flares of the fire is probably going to go into the book I'm working on for my 'points of interest' series but the one of the doorway is a bit of an orphan right now, it may find it's way into the same body.
