1stfans Twitter Art Feed Artist for November 2009: Cass Bird When Shelley and I went to visit Cass Bird at her Brooklyn studio last week, we weren't sure what to expect. We had known her work via Global Feminisms and read more...
Cass Bird (American, born 1974). I Look Just Like My Daddy, 2004. Chromogenic print, 40 x 30 in. (101.6 x 76.2 cm). Brooklyn Museum, Gift of the Prints and Photographs Council and the Robert A. Levinson Fund, 2005.40.1.
So this month, Cass will be posting to the feed a variety of things including her own photographs, photographs from other photographers she likes, and various other visual and pop culture images. Though she won't be "curating" the feed, the end result will be a strong collection of pictures that reflect her personality, her artistic process, and her own work. Like Joseph Kosuth's month on the feed, we really have no idea what to expect from her. One of the reasons we started the Twitter Art feed was so we could give artists an opportunity to experiment with a few vehicle for their work and, in doing so, give 1stfans access to an artist in a new way. I promise that access to Cass for a month will not be dull!go to the original blog post...

Trish is a photographer by trade—her work was featured in our Click! exhibition in 2008 and was recently part of an exhibition at the Morris-Jumel Mansion in Washington Heights. In addition to having her work featured in the New York Times, she has a huge following on Flickr. Trish's proposal was selected from the open call and we've noticed that the proposals we receive via this channel tend to be from artists who use Twitter everyday and have a great understanding of how people interact with the medium in their everyday lives. Here, in Trish's own words, is her project for October's Twitter Art Feed:go to the original blog post...
