Rossina Bossio Interview
We like to see our clients experience success while using media we built. Our friend Rossina Bossio, is a study in artistic prolificacy, as the pages upon pages of content in her MOCHIMAD-built site testify.
Rossina’s latest exhibition, currently showing at Gallery Grafiska Sällskapet in Stockholm, highlights a book that was born from her collaboration with Swedish artist, Jonna Bergelin.
Revista Neon, a magazine from Rossina’s Colombian homeland, interviewed her about the project and about her work in general. The interview contains footage from the making of two of the final pieces currently on exhibit.

Le Grande Bébé Rises Again
Friends of MOCHIMAD, Jonathan Haner and Teresa Holmberg, made a big baby again. Actually, not ‘a’ baby, but THE very same big baby Sue and Matt helped put up for ArtPrize 2009 in Grand Rapids, Michigan. This time, the Jonathan and Teresa are showing Le Grande Bébé in Kristianstad, Sweden to coincide with the launch of their global, interactive art project entitled Armé des Enfants.
From their Armé des Enfants web site, you—or anyone so inclined—can acquire a little bébé to photograph in your own part of the world, then upload the results to your own personal bébé gallery.
MOCHIMAD has special affection for this project, even though it’s not our baby—I know, stop it. Joking aside, the experience we have in project management, online marketing and public relations can be put to work for you—fine artist, gallerist or agent alike.

MOCHIMAD made CNN with La Grande Bebe
On September 15, Sue Lott and Matthew Richards of MOCHIMAD traveled to Grand Rapids, Michigan to join a team of artists supporting Jonathan Haner and Teresa Holmberg in Haner’s entry for the world’s largest art competition, the Grand Rapids ArtPrize. The team built the world’s largest doll, La Grand Bébé—a 72-foot tall soft sculpture made of industrial plastic tarp and polystyrene foam. Sue Lott provided project management while Holmberg, still in Sweden, watched the project’s progress via Internet. Holmberg flew in for the final day of the build to stay through opening day at ArtPrize. Thanks to Grand Rapids native, Jen Walsh, news media leader CNN took great interest and broadcasted ongoing reports on the big baby’s progress. Matthew Richards’ and Sue Lott’s photography was emailed to Holmberg as the events unfolded and published with each CNN report. The Grand Rapids ArtPrize awards a grand prize of $250,000 and the winner is decided by popular vote. The city-wide competition is the first of its kind and runs from September 23 to October 10. We’ll be posting more as ArtPrize continues to catch the world’s attention.

Rossinabossio.com Now Live
MOCHIMAD is proud to work with artists and musicians. We ARE artists and musicians, after all. One such artist is Colombian fine artist, Rossina Bossio.
Rossina’s former site was Flash-based and heavy on browsers, making navigating through her extensive portfolio cumbersome. Utilizing clean graphic elements provided by Rossina, we set up her new site in WordPress, the highly-customizable open source blog platform. What many people don’t realize is that WordPress is also very powerful for building dynamic web sites because of its excellent built-in content management system.
The new RossinaBossio.com is clean, functional, search engine-friendly, and most importantly, easy for Rossina to update whenever she gets a new exhibition or completes her latest commission.

Rossina Bossio Site
We are about to launch a new site for Colombian fine artist, Rossina Bossio. The new site departs from her prior, Flash-based web site and provides a simple and clean gallery showcase for her evocative painting, photography and drawing where users can purchase prints. Additionally, users can learn about upcoming Rossina Bossio exhibitions or potentially participate in Rossina’s ongoing interactive art projects, such as Dialogue with the Radio.
We built this web site on the WordPress blog platform, but it’s not a blog. It does not have the appearance of what you think of when you think of blogs. Word Press’ versatile Content Management System (CMS) enables Rossina to update her own content without relying on developers like us to perform every task that arises. We also included powerful, easy-to-use Search Engine Optimization (SEO) tools into her WordPress build to help her continually hone her site to achieve better search engine results, and therefore increase traffic, response and print sales.
