  4. Found this interssting as part of the almost gallery mandate.
    - A significant number of those represented (gallery artists)produce works that investigate the interaction of digital information and the artist’s hand.
    These requirements seem a little specific and a little boring. Anyone find this odd? Is this what happens when you have 500 galleries in one place?

  5. FLIVVERi saw the new zodiac movie

    Guest677Salut

    FLIVVERi i i , i got a girlfriend, whos better than that

    FLIVVERwho took the money awaaaaay

    FLIVVERi got a girlfriend with bows in her hair

    FLIVVERand nothing is better than that

    FLIVVERthe zodiac movie was like the woodward and bernstein movie - in fact there are many EEEERIE parallels

    Guest677goodnight and thanks Flivver.

    Guest677 left the channel

    FLIVVERgoodnight

    FLIVVER10 little indians...and then there were....nine?

    FLIVVERso back to "all the presidents men" vs "zodiac"

    FLIVVERboth feature obsessed news reporters tracking down the story of a lifetime - muckraking!

    FLIVVERback in the day, there were these "yellow" journalists.Yellow journalism is a pejorative reference to journalism that features scandal-mongering, sensationalism, jingoism or other unethical or unprofessional practices by news media organizations or individual journalists.

    FLIVVERwell that stuff sells papers - look at the hearst empire - circulation battles man!!!!

    FLIVVERreadership!!!

    FLIVVERso but the Watergate scandal sold papers and made careers for the journos -

    FLIVVERwhich is sort of a little theme that runs through the movies - id like to see that sort of thing developed more - like in "Shattered glass" where fabulits actually CREATE stories so they can get the scoop, natch

    FLIVVERfabulists

    FLIVVERnowadays they are called publicists or worse

    FLIVVERso i see that happening with artists - and i dont know what that deal is - though its been commented on, lord knows.

    FLIVVERbut if the whole art deal is a fabrication or even just collapes under the weight of its uperficial tissue on the scaffolding of the art martyr - well then good riddance right?

    FLIVVERno, evolution, not revolution. Help me deep throat, help me. zipthwung@gmail.com you know, help me or some shit

    FLIVVERat least make up a good lie.

    FLIVVERi mean its a self perpetuating ecology - like the lie that tells the truth, but the truth isnt out there, its made up, in here, and thats why i need outside verification - otherwise im hjust some schizo wannabe, imagine, watergate without nixon, zodiac without the killer. Nocenter man. Nada.

    FLIVVERi mean thomas pynchon can do it. Kurt vonnegut can do it. Barthelme, Joyce...its all there, just add water.

  6. the blu e is the weakest part of this painting - the ferris wheel is pretty dynamite - uses some obvious tricks , but those tricks are tried AND true. Go figure. The las painting could learn a thing or two from this painting.

  12. General Stilwell meanwhile watches the madness as everyone heads for the coast, learning that Birkead and Stratten have crashed into the tar pits. Wild Bill follows on motorbike and, along with the tank, are doused as they crash into a paint factory and then end up striking a turpentine factory, where they are cleaned of the paint. Meanwhile Ward Douglas and the other people at his house move the gun dropped off by Tree early to the cliff and begin firing at the Japanese submarine. The Japanese return fire but soon see the Amusement park and the Ferris wheel. Believing that to be an industrial structure they destroy the Ferris Wheel as it rolls off the local pier. The tank with Wally and Tree arrive and attempts to sink the submarine, but they too are ultimately sunk as they drive to the end of the pier and are blown up. Wild Bill also drives his motorbike off the pier and swims to the Submarine, whereupon he is captured by the Japanese, who, believing their honourable mission accomplished, now return home.

  15. The birds they sang at break of day
    Start again, I heard them say
    Nor dwell on what has passed away
    Or what is yet to be.

    The wars they will be fought again
    The holy dove be caught again
    Bought and sold and bought again
    Until we set them free.

    Ring the bells that still can ring
    Forget your perfect offering
    There is a crack in everything
    The light behind to see.

    Add up the parts, not yours the sum
    Strike up the march, there is no drum
    Every heart to love must come
    Like a refugee

  17. How about "blue hue' Or is that not legitimate?
    This would be a blue green teal hue with some ferris.
    In London I've heard 'painting for pounds' and found out that the pound is not only a weight it's a currency. So for dollars how would that translate?

    I'm sure Barbara's work is good, and I've done a combo with these three:
    1. Manganese
    2. Cerulean
    3. Cobalt
    and zinc, only zinc
    and it brought good dollars, and I liked it, still do.
    So on reflex: this pound of blue, this dollar of due
    reads perfect in its cross current.

  18. This gallery is the worst. Makes me wonder if Mr. Steinberg's eyes are broken.

  19. LUNCHTIME!!!!!!!

    I sense extreme ddiissillussiioonnmmeenntt....so then why not move on and just paint? Why make these pseudo-conceptual art-historical-nod-to-off-zzzzzzzz deals?

    Really people, art history is a blank slate at this point.

    Its like the art world is full of boiled frogs!

  20. Please forward.

    CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS
    EXHIBITION OPPORTUNITY - E32: EVERY 3RD 2SDAY @ LOTUS

    E32 is looking for Group Shows and Art Videos to be presented on a dual vision projection screen in the window of Lotus, a popular Lower East Side bar. The work will be seen on the sidewalk of this highly pedestrian trafficked corner on the Friday and Saturday nights preceding the Third Tuesdays. On Third Tuesdays the projections will include an artist's talk, all welcome.

    For consideration, upload your three - eight person Group Show to MySpace or Fotki. Upload your three minute art video to YouTube or Motionbox .

    If chosen your Group Show will be made into a three minute film with
    text panels showing the artist, title, media, etc. Narration or music can be included.

    Artists videos, if chosen, must be mailed in on a data CD.

    Group Shows can be curated around themes as loose as subject matter;
    affiliation, i.e. the artists in your studio building; shared unconventional media, etc.
    or can more focused on theoretical imperatives.

    For detailed but not difficult instructions go to E32.hitart.com. Click on Submission Guidelines.

    This project is made possible in part with public funds from the
    Manhattan Community Arts Fund, supported by the New York City
    Department of Cultural Affairs and administered by the
    Lower Manhattan Cultural Council.
