To wrap up the year we thought we would highlight the many (web) faces of the IMA. Below you will find our Top 10 list of websites that we have created in semi-chronological order.

Escape in Your Pajamas: Get Thee to The Toby
There are actually more than 10 reasons to visit
What, you haven’t been to the IMA’s new Tobias Theater yet? Consider this your personal invitation…along with ten good reasons to get thee to The Toby to catch a film in the next two weeks:
1. To be surprised: Little Fugitive, a black-and-white beauty made in 1953, is probably a film you’ve never heard of. Let that be a good thing. This 80-minute indie gem is about a boy who runs away to Coney Island. Think of it as Leave It To Beaver infused with art, subtlety, and cinematography to die for. Sneak away and see it at The Toby Tuesday, December 30.
2. The sound rocks: As the museum’s senior AV technician, sound hound Chris Cruz made sure the sound system in The Toby is top notch. Three refrigerator-sized speakers lurk behind the movie screen to give you blasts of aural delight.
Power and Glory is coming soon
I thought I would use my space on the blog this week to give you a sneak peek of the new website we are creating for the upcoming show, Power and Glory: Court Arts of China’s Ming Dynasty.
My kind of crazy…
That sums it up. You can always tell how stressed out I am by how messy my desk is. To the untrained eye my desk might look pretty neat. But only I know that I have stuffed papers that ought to be filed into that little tray and I have five new projects with documents waiting for a file folder. (So maybe I am a little crazy with the organization…I think it keeps us all together in the long run.)
Check out this photo on Flickr to see a diagram of my crazy.
This is a super-busy time for the Nugget Factory and it just sort of happened. For a couple of days last week, Daniel was out of the office with Dan shooting some video in San Francisco for the upcoming show, Power and Glory: Court Arts of China’s Ming Dynasty. I found myself sitting at my desk, working at a normal pace…and bored out of my mind. Two days later, with the full factory back in action, things sort of erupted, with new tasks flying in at every angle. I guess I prefer it that way…Check out this selection of stuff we have coming soon: Read the rest of this entry »
