who's your artist?

Think Picasso rocks? Think he's the most overrated artist of all time? Join the Times of London's poll to pick the 200 most influential visual artists of the era (lumping together modern with contemporary). Sattchi Gallery Online and the Times put together the polling list from user votes, narrowed to 500 -- so you can't put yourself in -- but the list is pretty interesting, from my… Continue

Ouch! It feels like I stepped on the 3rd rail

Do you use public transit to go see art or do anything in NYC? If you live here or come here often, find out how proposed service cuts and fare hikes are going to affect you and respond.

Way off track!





Can you picture this? Arrested for taking photos of the NYC subway, even though it's legal. Don't these guys have anything better to do? The camera-wielding perp knew his rights and it didn't seem to matter. Still, you might want to know your rights:

“I said,…

what we've all wanted to say...

Holland Cotter, in his story The Boom Is Over. Long Live the Art! (New York Times, Feb 12) tells us what we've known all along: the art market has been one big, self-serving, economic frenzy. He thinks the coming crash is going to help art (the content). I'll drink to that.

What do casinos, golf courses, and museums have in common?

Well, according to the Senate, they should all be banned from receiving any funds from the the economic recovery bill. Casino = museum? This is ridiculous.



Breaking News

Americans for the Arts reports that yesterday the U.S. Senate, during their consideration of the economic recovery bill, approved an egregious amendment offered by Sen. Tom Coburn (R-OK) that… Continue

Review: Notes from the playing field

I confess: I know less than nothing about sports. In fact, my closest connection to any football field came last Thursday at Marlborough Gallery in Chelsea, where I went to see Jane Dickson's show Night Driving, an exhibition of about twenty recent oil paintings on astroturf. Yes, that's right. Astroturf. Think pointillism meets the playing field.… Continue

bloom

After reading Damon Krukowski's review in Art Forum of Brian Eno's latest venture in atmospheric composition, I rushed right over to the iPhone Apps store and bought my very own copy of Bloom. Bloom is an interactive compositional piece by Eno and Peter Chilvers made exclusively for the iPhone and iPod touch.



I've spent hours over the last two days creating and enjoying the recurring and "evolving" loops that you create by tapping… Continue

Shadows and Light

Photographs allow us to stare at people and things and observe them in a much more invasive way than would ordinarily be tolerated in public.

What to do now?

Very glad to have come across this site. I live in Inwood in Upper Manhattan and have just quit my job to work as an artist full time - pastel, pen and ink, acrylic, paper. I mix media all the time. Since I am sooooo inexperienced at living like this does anyone have any suggestions as to what associations to join or how to find exposure besides locally? I want to ultimatly get into galleries in Soho. Quite an ambition.

Well, thank you in advance for any suggestions you may… Continue

black is the new white

With the inauguration just around the weekend, the celebration of all things Obama -- and all things racial landmark -- is in high gear. In this Sunday's New York Times Magazine, there's an add for the ultimate Visa card ($495 annual fee) and, in an aesthetic turn around, black has become the new, well, black (but in that white, Masters of the Universe way!)…

Gallery Crawl January 10th - recap

Sure enough, people were lined up down the block on January 10th, waiting for Metro Pictures to open their doors. If I were Bill Cunningham of The New York Times, I would have had lots of material for a…

Artists suggestion for the President Elect

Quincy Jones has started a petition to ask President-Elect Obama to appoint a Secretary of the Arts. While many other countries have had Ministers of Art or Culture for centuries, The United States has never created such a position.

Pipilotti Rist at MoMA

I just made it over to see what the Times supposed to be one of the few pieces that has effectively filled MoMA's central space, Pour Your Body Out (7354 Cubic Meters) by Pipilotti Rist. It was like a juicy candy apple: sweet, luscious, and a little naughty...…
