site error – FIXED

My great host, hostgator, fixed the issue quickly and without complaint. you should use them to host your site cuz they are great Haven’t heard from hostgator yet – there’s obviously a compatibility issue, and I’m sure they’ll handle it cuz they are great – but I removed the line of offending code, which didn’t [...]

The Reverend Jeremiah Wright (updated) (updated again) (and again)

UPDATE Well, read the below and watch the interview, but I will admit that, to quote AmericaBlog, Wright “crossed over into cuckoo-land yesterday, saying that our government created AIDS, among other things.” It’s weird the juxtaposition between the Moyers interview and his self aggrandizing press conference yesterday. I don’t understand…. UPDATE II: Joe Conason argues [...]

window: fragments and the image of the week

Haydn Shaughnessy gives a little teaser / preview of his Fragments project today and features my work. For some reason, he put up a tiny image, so here’s a close-up: Window, 8×10 inches, lambda print on metallic paper, edition 100 Saving this for the web unfortunately managed to dull the colors a bit – the [...]

Till Joseph flies to hide the biting tears, by Doron Golan

I had to post this beautifully understated new video work by Doron Golan. Till Joseph flies to hide the biting tears (2008, 48MB, 5.20 min.) Michael Szpakowski, also of DVblog, says (via rhizome): …this is great & quite the strangest thing you’ve ever made. The tone is quite disturbing, made me quite nervous, but it’s [...]

Sub-text: Brian Dettmer’s book sculptures

Every now and then I see art that sort of crushes me and elates me at the same time. For example, Brian Dettmer‘s book sculptures. I love books. We might be at the tail end of the book as a form. I understand that, and, if books go extinct, it will probably be for the [...]

Printmaking Today (and a minor kvetch)

My hard drive died last week, which sucked. I didn’t lose anything important like art or my PhD (thank goodness), but it’s taken days just to get back to running, due to file and email jumbles on various drives, etc (still not quite there, and will have some crazy organizing to do in my spare [...]

Paddy Johnson interviews Aron Namenwirth of artMovingProjects

Fantastic interview here. Snippet: Two years ago Caitlin Jones observed in NYFA Current that net artists working in multiple formats were increasingly finding venues to show. Today, the art world is still figuring out how to manage the practicalities of dealer and artist relationships. I spoke with Aron Namenwirth, of artMovingProjects, in an effort to [...]

new media art: image of the week

Haydn Shaughnessy, founder of Gallery ICA and Ten Cubed gallery (the former in Kinsale, Ireland and latter in Second Life), has shifted his blog from a more tech – convergence – journalism focus to new media art musings. The most exciting feature is his “image of the week,” where he scours the internet for tech-related [...]

Artist-Blog versus The-Work-Itself

Every artist should have a website, or at least a blog. This is a point I’ve been making to a friend of mine who’s trying to make her creative way in New York City. She’s doing this and that, meeting with little successes here and there, but it isn’t quite adding up to something whole [...]
