[Image: Saul Alverez, Primary ventures in house-breaking or Pissing my pants while wearing a coyote pelt, 2005] “ Joao Ribas: There are two things you mention that bare developing. One is a change in the models of production, which in an odd way have partly veered off into a blurred territory on both sides in the last three decades. The distinction between “studio” and “exhibition space” that defines some of the inherited hierarchy in the roles of artist and curator — [...]

On this blog, we don’t discuss weirdness of politics. Instead, below, find weirdness as a result of photoshopping: Moonlight: tilted sunshine, and finally, a monster rock. What am I doing to myself? Will my perception be altered by such playing with images? Creatures learn what they see. Kittens raised in a world of vertical stripes stumble over a horizontal stick. I remember more clearly last spring’s photographs of mudflats, rather than the 3-D world out there. Would I now see 2-dimensionally [...]

When you download the pdf from this page the document might look weird at first for those not used to looking at scientific papers. But keep flipping the pages to see some of the art work... I'm aware of the fact that this might be really just a fringe issue for this blog, but I'm sure there are enough people out there who'll enjoy seeing this stuff.

Bumper Sticker Via Here's some more Palin dirt; as Paddy Johnson points out in her comment on this post at Ed Winkleman's blog:the impetus behind cutting the arts has less to do with an under-estimation of its inherent value, than a desire to control independent thinking and the freedom of speech.via Artnet News, Sept. 4, 2008 {links via newsgrist}:REPUBLICAN VP A MUSEUM FOE Much of the copious news coverage swirling around Sarah Palin, Republican John McCain’s surprise pick for [...]

While Tyler Green was working on a story for the Washingtonian on the National Gallery of Art and looking to include information on the upcoming Leo Villareal show, I was working on a story about the Leo Villareal show for a contemporary art magazine—and I, too, could not get the National Gallery of Art to confirm the show. For the same reason: The National Gallery of Art, like many art institutions, pledges news items exclusively to the New York Times, or [...]

brand-new work by jon feinstein. as he explains: "the project is stills from the intro logos to '70s and '80s horror and sci-fi movies—all shot from VHS tapes. many of these logos are from now defunct production companies, but my main interest in them was their ability to create a false sense of eeriness simply from combining a cheap, yet vibrant logo with lo-fi casio-soundscapes, a burst that at times created more of a sense of terror than the movie itself."

Con-Edison outside Kravets|Wehby. Photograph AFC The most disastrous of all the Chelsea openings last night has to be Sydney Chastain-Chapman’s solo show Modulus at Kravets|Wehby which was shut down due to an electrical fire. Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to get too many more details about the fire other than what I saw; the gallery owners understandably weren’t really that interested in talking to the press. “The gallery is closed”, Susie Kravets told me as I peered into the unlit space [...]

Thanks, artnet for this harrowing account of the anti-art mayor of Wasilla, Alaska working her executive style magic.Much of the copious news coverage swirling around Sarah Palin, Republican John McCain’s surprise pick for vice president, has focused on the relative inexperience of the freshman governor of Alaska and former mayor of Wasilla, a suburb of less than 10,000 people outside Anchorage. However, the 44-year-old Palin had proven experience with one thing during her brief tenure in government: slashing museum funding. As [...]

As a student of Sforzian backdrops, this scenario being discussed here is almost too... and yet... Did the GOP really use: - an image of the main building at Walter Reed - only it's not the Army's Walter Reed Medical Center but - Walter Reed Middle School in North Hollywood - that looks like a giant Mediterranean-style mansion, perhaps the McCain's place in Palm Beach? - And which has a giant green lawn - that ends up recreating the horrible [...]

"Just from what little I've seen of [Michelle] and Mr. Obama, Sen. Obama, they're a member of an elitist-class individual that thinks that they're uppity," Westmoreland said. Asked to clarify that he used the word "uppity," Westmoreland said, "Uppity, yeah." -Rep. Lynn Westmoreland, Republican congressman from Georgia's 3rd District, as quoted in The HillYou know, I was going to make a joke about how John McCain had said, "We're all Georgians now," but then I realized Westmoreland is the guy could [...]

An extension of her “Miss Rockaway Armada” boat projects of 2006 & 2007, the new armada, known as “Swimming Cities of Switchback Sea” represents the ultimate evolution of the series [...]
