Where I've been

Minneapolis, Philly, New York, Chicago, Princeton NJ, Southern Maine, and a few other spots along the way. I've been on a crazy travel schedule. It's been great.

I started writing for DailyServing and started a blog for print nerdery (the Wandering Printmaker). It's been crazy, and tomorrow I'm headed back to NY for Print Week.

Some recent ideas in no particular order:
- NEJAR, and Greg Cook can bite my left ankle. The worst public art thing is redic. It's insulting to the artists and myopic.
- Minneapolis Institute of Art is one of the best museums I've ever been to. With a good olde-fashioned dictator and a few hundred more years, it would be Louvre or Prado good.
- Writing about the arts is hard, but I love it.
- Seeing art is awesome, and I love it.
- Sarah Sze is a good artist.
- College art museums are the entrepreneurs of the art world. Some of their ideas are great, some suck-- all are pushing new ideas though. Their work makes big museums look better than they are.
- Independent curators are the risk takers that drive the college museums entrepreneurial spirit. Thank god the AAMC finally allows them to be members.
- I like this.
- I like Pipilotti Rist a lot.
- I need to go drinking with Natalie Jeremijenko and say smart and funny things to impress her.
- AICA/USA is the secret decoder ring I want. They are the art mafia illuminati that I want to be part of.


I'll be in Chelsea and at the E/AB fair tomorrow, the IFPDA fair, the Met, Prints Gone Wild, NYU, and maybe Brooklyn Museum over the next few days. My show at BCA is right around the corner in March/April 2011. I'm still applying to MIT. I'm absolutely ready for a nap.
