Mira Schor: The Art of Nonconformist Criticality
Spend two hours thinking.
From 2006. Wonderful talk about-
the delay between initial thought and implementation
repetition from artists
what makes something feminist art
More than just that. Go on then! Download it and have a drink while you listen.

Sleng Teng 25th anniversary
Feb 23, 1985. Reggae became digital.
Except preforming it as an acoustic version makes it even more awesomer.
Thank you to Wayne Smith.

astro boy.
It seems we need to update the Astro Boy myth every 20 years. Each time we focus on another section of the story and change the presentation significantly. So we must be 10 years or so from the next iteration.
The quick observations: it becomes less silly symphony with each version. The relationship between scientist and son becomes psychoanalytical in the 80's and secondary in the 00's. Why the professor's hair was black in the two early videos I don't know. In the books he has white hair. Last, the message of robots and people living together in equality morphs significantly between the three.

Feb
I usually hate this month, but the weather is not that bad and there are lots of interesting things happening.
-Puppy wars- This is where I stand on the religious war between the protestants vs. Papist Saltz. I don't think either side is right or wrong. They are both. Koons is not the ultimate 000 artist. Yau is not dickish, yet his article is badly written for him and trite. And Koons does stand as the American version of Murakami and Hirst.
-Boston is rotating curators- Clean cup move down! to quote the Mad Hatter. I wish Jen Mergel the best of luck at getting what no one else has been able to do done at the MFA. Helen Molesworth may be the best choice for the ICA. That's yet to be seen. Both of these women are wonderful curators. Mergel apparently was looking for more curatorial and less paper work and Molesworth may have been annoyed by the delays in Allston.
-Editing as composition- I've noticed this popping up recently in people's work. Mostly photographers, but not always. Currently, Kayafas and Yezerski have up shows that support this notion. First, Pelle Cass edits together images from a multiple photographs of the same scene. Second Gary Schneider takes hand illuminated close up photographs of naked people. Yezerski also has shown Curtis Mann in the past who works in a similar manner of editing to compose his photographs.
