Most -- not all -- of the twitter follows I have done have proven less than satisfactory. I think the format is just too concise. The nonprofits seem to use it too much; friends are very cryptic; the Dalai Lama doesn't tweet enough (can I say that?!).
Yoko Ono's tweets have proven a welcome exception. I am enjoying her posts enough that I followed a link to her weekly Q&A, where she answers a dozen questions posed to her via twitter through the week. Here's the link to this week's (which co…

When is a wall not a barrier?
Artists are invited to submit video or still images of work in any medium. The work will be projected onto a prominent building wall in northern Manhattan (Washington Heights/Inwood).
Please submit work that considers the concept of wall -- barrier, community, container, environment, canvas, etc. -- in ways that transcend the cynical. The exhibiti…

I can't wait to see Megumi Sasaki's documentary on
Herb and Dorothy Vogel, who love art more than anybody
I know. What other middle class couple lives on one spouse's salary in order to devote the other's to collecting work they love? The Vogels did that with Herb's mail carrier salary for 30 years, becoming friends with many of the creators of the works they own. (Now that they're retired, they do the sa…

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 onc…

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.

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