This is a video covering a Twitter Art Exhibit that I’m in and is being run by an amazing painter named David Sandum. More about the exhibit from David:

The interview is with the Director at the Moss public library, Lillian Salomonsen. I was featured on the NRK news the day after (see link below). Clip in Norwegian but show many art pieces. See: http://www.tvostfold.no/klipp/2708.html
 
Exhibit progress report/description: The exhibit opened in November and will last until Feb 1st. The exhibit features 260 artists from 23 countries, who have sent hand-painted postcards to exhibit together in Moss, Norway. The cards cost 200 NOK each ($32.00) and all proceeds go to fund children’s books for the library. The cards are displayed on a large wall donated by Momentum/F15 (government funded art-agency), and the wall is located in the entry of the Moss library. The exhibit is called “140 characters” and originated through David Sandum on Twitter. Thus, a real life twitter art exhibit, as it involves artists communicating through this social media. So far, we have sold 104 cards and raised 20.800 NOK ($3547.00). The cards will remain on display until the exhibit is over. So if you’re local and still haven’t seen it, please drop by! There is still time to pick up some amazing art at an amazing cost!
