THE CURATOR: M.I.A. hates gingers, boobquakes and more

POSTED: Tuesday, April 27, 2010, 7:32 PM

Every Tuesday, Critical Mass pokes around the art blog world so you don't have to. — Free People's got the lowdown on Lizzy Janssen, designer for both FP and Print Liberation. She's one of those gals who can incite jealously with the flick of her tiny talented pinky finger â yet you still have to love her surreal designs. Janssen drops a sweet allusion to Great Expectations and mentions her youth as a puzzle box model in her short and sassy little interview. — Phrequency shows off M.I.A.'s new video for her single "Born Free," in which redheads are rounded up and slaughtered. But that's not fair, because GINGERS HAVE SOULS. — BOOBQUAKE! Or so says PW style, who yesterday encouraged Philly women to whip out their busts in protest to Iran cleric Hojatoleslam Kazem Sedigh. The cleric claims women's immodesty is to blame for recent earthquakes. Is it just me, or does this sound like an excellent plot for a porno? — Our Chief Cultural Officer wants you to counterfeit for a cause with the Fundred Dollar Bill project. Created by artist Mel Chin, the project aims to collect 300 million faux-hundreds to encourage congress to fund lead neutralizing efforts in New Orleans. A special Fundred exhibit at the Fabric Workshop and Museum has been installed to encourage Philly's participation. So go feel bad while you do some good.
