  1. @jaymjordan "...start from the artwork but not stay there, to think with it but also away from and against it?" I like to stick w/the art. about 15 hours ago from web in reply to jaymjordan
  2. @jaymjordan I think I diverge from Lind at the beginning of the piece, where she says curatorial is "An endeavor that encourages you to..." about 15 hours ago from web in reply to jaymjordan
  3. @kueblerwolf Sometimes the works aren't even as clever at the hotdog/bun analogy. Like "Ever wonder why suburbs are so awful?" about 15 hours ago from web in reply to kueblerwolf
  4. @salvocheque thanks for that link to the Lind/Artforum article. about 15 hours ago from web in reply to salvocheque
  5. But the art versions are more "serious", less funny, and presented visually. Often with a political critique. Rather thin conceptually. about 20 hours ago from TweetDeck
  6. Sort of along the lines of "Did you ever wonder why there aren't the same number of hot dogs as hot dog buns?" about 20 hours ago from TweetDeck
  7. I think there's a strain of contemporary art that's like a visual version of a lame Jerry Seinfeld routine. Won't mention names. about 20 hours ago from TweetDeck
  8. But I still don't understand what Lind means by the concept of "the curatorial." Help? 5:56 AM Jan 6th from TweetDeck
  9. Have twice read the article "On the Curatorial" by Bard's CCS Maria Lind, in Oct. 2009 Artforum. Sorry I can't find a link to it online. 5:55 AM Jan 6th from TweetDeck
  10. But I think many folks in the artworld per se have heard of Tufte, just not his own art. 11:59 AM Jan 5th from TweetDeck
  11. A NYTimes article says "Before the [exh] opening in June 2009, almost nobody in the art world had heard of Mr. Tufte." http://bit.ly/8Jlmp1 11:58 AM Jan 5th from TweetDeck
  12. Tufte has a show now @Aldrich, but I'm not sure about his large sculptures. http://bit.ly/2HEw42 11:57 AM Jan 5th from TweetDeck
  13. Love Edward Tufte's writings (e.g. "Visual Display of Quantitative Information.") Didn't know he was an artist too. http://bit.ly/XmePZ 11:56 AM Jan 5th from TweetDeck
  14. @acmorton I'm going to probably do a bit less online reading and a bit more print, that's the goal. I'm not going to be pious about it tho! 11:55 AM Jan 5th from TweetDeck in reply to acmorton
  15. @acmorton Well the artworld still publishes mags. Our office gets a few and I subscribe to a few. And just general ones, like NYer, VF, etc. 11:54 AM Jan 5th from TweetDeck in reply to acmorton
  16. as part of new years resolution, am reading more art mags. Trying to catch up w/issues of @ArtLies, a great TX mag. http://bit.ly/7uMhDd 11:23 AM Jan 5th from TweetDeck
  17. Brian Dettmer carves out images and text from books. Very cool. Via @Flavorpill. http://bit.ly/6jZ5lP 1:51 PM Jan 4th from TweetDeck
  18. @cjn212 bummer -- we're the last venue on the tour. Thanks for the RT. 1:14 PM Jan 4th from TweetDeck in reply to cjn212
  19. The exh features contemporary art about neuroses. Can't imagine why it appeals to me so much. 11:06 AM Jan 4th from TweetDeck
  20. Am re-reading catalog for our next exhibition "Slightly Unbalanced" which is from iCI. Opens later this month. http://bit.ly/5bAkM5 11:03 AM Jan 4th from TweetDeck
