Entries of particular merit will be exhibited at the Museum during the London Design Festival in September 2009. <br/><br/>The organisers are looking for designs that positively portray non-central London areas as exciting and varied destinations for both Londoners and visitors alike. Entries are limited to one poster per entrant and the deadline for entries is Monday 27 July. <a href="http://artdaily.org/index.asp?int_sec=2&int_new=31761" target="_blank">via…</a><br/> </blockquote>http://hydeordie.com/post/133605827http://hydeordie.com/post/133605827Wed, 01 Jul 2009 09:32:39 -0700LondonTransportationMan RayDesignPosterCompetitionSeattle Art Museum returns Austalian/Aboriginal artifact: The Seattle Art Museum has decided to...http://hydeordie.com/post/133213300http://hydeordie.com/post/133213300Tue, 30 Jun 2009 17:23:27 -0700Seattle Art MuseumRepatriationUPDATE: Andrea Bowers has pulled out of the "Bitch is the New Black" exhibition at Honor Fraser,...http://hydeordie.com/post/133200001http://hydeordie.com/post/133200001Tue, 30 Jun 2009 16:53:00 -0700Andrea BowersExhibitionHonor Fraser<img src="http://20.media.tumblr.com/eEpoSv5pDpcsal97nNKsuEQVo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Installations by <a href="http://www.steinbrener-dempf.com/" target="_blank">Christoph Steinbrener</a> and <a href="http://www.steinbrener-dempf.com/" target="_blank">Rainer Dempf</a>…</p> <blockquote> <blockquote></blockquote> <p><a href="http://www.zoovienna.at" target="_blank">Schönbrunn Zoo</a> in Vienna is host to a fascinating series of temporary art installations by Christoph Steinbrener and Rainer Dempf.
