in, and around
lambda print on metallic paper, 380 x 1080 mm (with small white border)
Just finishing up at the Frans Masereel, having completed 5 new digital and 6 new hand-made Compressionist prints (the latter inspired by the former, made by performances with scanners) for Art on Paper Gallery in Johannesburg (their site is finally up, [...]

the ‘market’

Not to again mention Winkleman’s appearance on the US telly about the big Warhol sale a few weeks ago, but there are quite a few good reads about the art market on the web as of late. Not gonna list all the ones I’ve seen (one reason being that it’s not really a focus of [...]

come to Documenta, anyone?

So, we’ve got two extra beds/couches in a lovely house in Kassel from 20 - 25 July (had cancellations). Self catering, and we’ll cook together… €195 per person for all 5 nights, including taxes and exchange, and we will have a car to get to/from the festival (if we squeeze for the 5 minute ride, [...]

Rudy Giuliani

via Tom Moody:
You might have noticed the CBS News story “McCain Backs Bush’s Iraq Strategy” on the blogroll to the left for several months now (or maybe not–well, it’s been there). Lots of other people linked to the story, too, and now it shows up in the top 10 Google searches if anyone is looking [...]

The former was my supervisor when I was at ITP; she is a total star many times [...]

Artists Johan Engels and Robert Whitehead have transformed the space into their own pre-Crapalite universe that includes various flamboyant installations; their combined Tele-Pathetic Conception; Engels’ extraordinary [...]

NOW can we impeach those fuckers?

Seriously.
Look at these frikkin numbers. That’s double those who wanted to impeach Clinton, and also more than wanted Nixon ousted. When will Congress catch up? It’s an evenly divided split*, for God’s sake, the least you can do is start hearings and probes!
*note the split is evenly divided for Bush, while Cheney’s impeachment is in [...]

greetings from Belgium

Yo.
Brussels was fun. I saw good art and Zhane Warren and Simon Gush, among others (my new friends Ivan Durt and Jean Hoffman, for example). Currently working my ass off in Kasterlee, at the Frans Masereel Centre, a printmaking residency: Compressionist images as silk screen, litho, wood cut, engraving and dry point…. Pix soon (my [...]
