"BLOG," the gallery exhibition, opens tomorrow night in the artMovingProjects project space. Above, artist Aron Namenwirth gives the artwork a test drive. What we have is a dedicated, frequently updated, remote content delivery system in the gallery, clearly visible in the space, which is as interactive as the viewer wants it to be. Using a feature called "comments," one can communicate directly with the artist. The future arrived early.

The subject came up: Who is a female German artist that is a contemporary of Baselitz, Penck, Immendorf, etc. In other words, a hardcore neo-expressionist, not an ironic conceptualist. I suggested Ina Barfuss. Here are some images of hers pulled off of Google images. Some nice things here, I think! Especially that blue one, whoah!
So far Mike Gravel on the Democratic side and Ron Paul on the Republican side lead all the candidates in willingness to speak truth instead of poll-tested BS. Watch this YouTube of Paul responding logically and articulately to Rudolph Giuliani's thuggish questioning of his patriotism. Wolf Blitzer, reinforcing the status quo as always, seems to have a hard time wrapping his head around the concept of "blowback."
