Shea Hembrey's 100 Artist International Biennial (Video)

Written by Andrew Katz Katz

Ok, we are a little late in posting this video that was introduced in June. But it's too good and relevant to care about timing. About the video, from the Ted website: "How do you stage an international art show with work from 100 different artists? If you're Shea Hembrey, you invent all of the artists and artwork yourself -- from large-scale outdoor installations to tiny paintings drawn with a single-haired brush. Watch this funny, mind-bending talk to see the explosion of creativity and diversity of skills a single artist is capable of." Is Hembrey a critic, an artist, or both? Or neither?! Check out the full video below (16 minutes in length) and let us know in the comments section what you think of the project.  [ted id=1169]
