A suggestion: Gather ~100 used valentines, masking tape each into a cheap frame, send to @SFMOMA. You will win next year's contest. #TrustMe

A love letter to @SFMOMA's Barry McGee pieces. Seriously. This would win. twitter.com/vossbrink/stat…

@SFMOMA It was my other (better) idea this year. But too obessive, work-intensive, etc. to actually do.

Another idea I had for my love letter to a piece of art. I refuse to spend this much effort on a web contest. But the idea is too good not to put out there in case someone wants to do it correctly.
The work of art in question. And a fantastic blogpost about how to conserve it. I wish I’d have known about that blogpost when I wrote my post on Archival Life as it’s highly relevant to the discussion and further points out that the idea that something should be kept from aging* is not the best way to think about art.
*An idea which is all too prevalent in photography circles.
And yes, technically, it should be 325 found Valentines or drawn hearts rather than ~100.
