Mesh Magazine is flippin’ it again! Ok, so we had a super rad layout coming, but it breaks in Internet Explorer! BOO! Who likes or uses Internet Explorer anyways!? Nobody! But, we wanted to make sure that Mesh was compatible with everything, so we are keeping the same template, but changing it up a little.
Differences:
- Only Content will be featured on Mesh Magazine.
- All News and Events will be pumped out to Twitter. Don’t have a Twitter, don’t worry. You can still click on our handy little widget labeled, “THE COOL” on the right or text follow meshmagazine to 40404 for updates!—>

Tim Masset, who helped build a following at the San Marco Theater, plans to re-launch the 5 Points Theatre in a couple months. He is using Ulele and plans to raise $95,000. For much more on this project, read 5 Points Theatre to Re-Launch with New Ownership and Funding Campaign. Urban Jacksonville has also issued a matching challenge program to help raise funds for the theatre.

SPIN teamed up with director Dan Huiting to bring a short film about Justin Vernon of Bon Iver. This week’s pick of The Cool is a great inspiration to all artists. Justin tells the story of the live-in studio, now called “April Base” where he records music with Bon Iver. Vernon talks about how the Wisconsin lodge was found, converted, what it’s like to work and live there, how it affected the sound of the record and about the equipment within.

So as you have noticed, Mesh Magazine hasn’t been updated in a month. With all the craziness in everyday life, it’s sometimes hard to keep things updated with just a single person doing all of the work. That’s why I have devised a plan (does evil laugh) to keep this thing going. Stay tuned my friends!
Art is a very important part of life and culture, but it isn’t something everyone gets a chance to enjoy. A lot of work that is confined in galleries and museums doesn’t get to be enjoyed as much as it can. What we have done is create a way to let anyone who wants to see, enjoy, and even keep a piece of fine art for free. For a few years we have been hosting free art hunts.
A free art hunt is like a treasure hunt for art. We hide paintings in random locations in the streets of Chicago, then using social media networks like Twitter and Facebook clues are given to the locations of the hidden art. It has become a hit here in Chicago and now we would like to expand this to all 50 states including a stop into Jacksonville. We have purchased a bus that needs a lot of work to get on the road safely.
We plan on driving the bus across the country hosting at least one hunt in every state. We will involve the local artists in each location to join us by placing their work out with ours. Our hopes are that after we leave, the local art community will continue their own hunts and get their work out to the local community. We hope to visit all 50 states during 2011. Of course we will have to fly to Hawaii.
The money we hope to raise will be used to make the bus road worthy and convert the inside to a mobile art studio.
