Back in September, this blog reported on the crowdfunding sensation that is Kickstarter. Two of the projects profiled in that article recently checked in with updates:
Amanda Wilder’s campaign to fund the completion of her documentary, Approaching the Elephant, has begun. Watch her five minute pitch video above and click the link to find out more about how to back her project, which was one of just six picked by the Kickstarter for its weekly blog post that highlights the staff’s favorite recently-launched projects. The title of that post, by the way? “New Projects Are Approaching the Elephant.” It can’t be a bad thing when Kickstarter itself gives you a shout-out.
Meanwhile, Kianga Ellis reports that her unsuccessful Kickstarter campaign has a happy ending — The New York Group Show will live on at the end of this year on the walls of her new Brooklyn loft, and she’s currently looking for artists to submit up to five pieces that relate to theme of “rebellion and empowerment in contemporary art.” You can find out more, including the artist submission deadline (December 10th!) and details about the space and the show, here.
