100 Blankets from Lois Klassen on Vimeo.
Between 2001 and 2011, 100 blankets were made by participants of Comforter Art Action. The blankets were fabricated in schools, libraries, museums, studios, galleries, homes... They have since then moved to NGOs, shelters and fundraising auctions.
This short video displays each of the first 100 blankets. Frederick Cummings edited all of the photos and video clips, AND added a unique sound track that he recorded with James Diamond. Together Frederick and James are a duo known as "Mangina". Their cover of Israel Kamakawiwoʻole's "Somewhwere Over the Rainbow / What a Wonderful World" resulted from a song request by Lois Klassen. Thank you Frederick!
