Michelle Obama is putting her newfound knitting hobby to good use. After telling Ellen DeGeneres about the skill she picked up during shelter-in-place, the former first lady recently expanded further on what she loves about knitting during a
CBS This Morning interview with Gayle King. A word of advice? Don t call the pastime an old lady activity when you re talking to Michelle.
Gayle told Michelle, I was surprised you re knitting . . . no disrespect, but that sounds very old lady. But the former first lady said it s actually in line with her personality because she likes creating something out of nothing. She jokingly told Gayle, I don t want you to come for my knitting community!

Sara Pedigo, professor of Fine Art and chair of the Department of Visual and Performing Arts, will have an exhibition of paintings titled, Home, at the Museum of Arts & Sciences in Daytona Beach from May 8 to July 25.
The exhibition highlights Pedigo’s preference for painting the daily life around her, and in particular, her home. The paintings focus on intimate, everyday scenes, often caught in lived-in states. This has taken on renewed relevance due to the increased time spent in domestic settings due to COVID-19.

So it makes perfect sense that David Datuna, the Georgia-born artist who gained wide notoriety for brazenly eating Maurizo Catellan’s $120,000 absurdist banana art at the 2019 Art Basel Miami fair, would enter the scene. Earlier this week, he revealed his first foray into NFTs with a series of five mixed media collages being auctioned on Rarible starting on May 6. (The cryptoart online marketplace also has a listing for a gif of Datuna’s infamous Art Basel banana moment an “art performance” titled “Hungry Artist.”)
