The Artist's Guide to Making Money


An exciting, decidedly eccentric, relentlessly well-crafted, and not without hope of being lucrative venture — The Artist's Guide series. The Artist's Guide is a topic-driven art journal produced
by Matt Cassity and Sam Spratlin.

This is a book/magazine full of inspiring, self-deprecating, insightful, intelligent and humorous creative discourse. Buy it for the words, buy it for the pictures... or both! Not by a Cranbrook grad, but the team behind "The Artist's Guide" certainly deserve your support for this exciting creative endeavor.

Moon Joo Lee [Painting '03] Berlin Artist Residency


Moon Joo Lee [Painting '03] has been accepted to Kuenstlerhaus Bethanien GmbH's Artist Residency program, beginning in March, for a period of one year. The Kunstlerhaus Bethanien is a service enterprise whose goal is to further contemporary art and contemporary artists.

Chae Eun-young, Curator of Alternative Space Pool, characterizes Moon Joo's work as "...juxtaposing in a canvas the sights of ruined houses, construction waste, and rubbish heap...present[ing] a space we occupy in our everyday life. The viewer may experience not only our surrounding spaces that lie in the sphere of our property right, but the space of possibility that might exist in the environs of our lives."

With its 25 studios, Kunstlerhaus Bethanien represents one of the largest establishments among international residency programs. The selection of artists - predominantly in the area of visual arts - is carried out according to the standards of originality and creative quality. Individual applications are not accepted by the Kunstlerhaus, which owes its international renown as one of the most prestigious institutes for the support of contemporary art to the stringency of its selection criteria.
