Whoops! Somehow I let the second anniversary of this weblog slip by--it was February 21. Thanks to Jim Bassett, the brains behind Digital Media Tree, and all the webloggers and posters on the Tree, for the feedback, tech advice, and good natured argument over the last 2 years. As I've mentioned before, I do seem to be one of the only artists in the New York art scene with a weblog, and I wish there were a few more of us. It would be nice to have discussions going on across pages, with pictures, rather than waiting to see if Artforum or the New York Times is going to say something (stuffy) on a particular subject.
There has been interest in this page outside of New York, I'm happy to say. I've had links, comments, and emails from Japan, England, Germany, Norway, and other places I'm sorry if I'm forgetting. Even if New York has limited interest in an internal cyber-conversation, I'm happy to be giving my biased translation of New York to the ouside world.
Since it's an anniversary, I offer a few of what I consider highlights from the past 48 months (most are actually since Nov. 2002, but whatever). The following pieces drew comments, public or private, or drew no comments but I'm still proud of them: Review of Gerhard Richter at MOMA
Thoughts on Monotrona, Cory Arcangel, and Old School Video Games
Report on Digital Painting Panel at Artists' Space (and comments)
Review of One Hour Photo from an art world perspective, which started as a few notes the day after I saw the movie and ultimately jumped to its own page.
Review of Scott Hug's K48: Teenage Rebel: The Bedroom Show (and related posts discussing it in connection with Laura Parnes' Hollywood Inferno video).
Thanks Tom. Happy Birthday.
Maybe there aren't more artist weblogs because there is no flicking of bics and mass hysterical chanting--Moody, Moody, Moody!!! That oughta do it.
Actually, artists can't be blamed for not wanting to be as verbose as me and risking damage to their careers by popping off all the time. I do have a number of links to artist websites--as opposed to logs--that I've been sitting on, and will be posting soon.
