  A quick note to direct y’all to the newly constructed website of Eilish Cullen, who is currently involved in myriad aspects of art on the coast opposite this one. Definitely worth paying a visit (or visits).

  The debate over the loss of arts criticism in newspapers nationwide has led to a heated debate between critics Glenn Kenny and Michael Atkinson over Atkinson’s comments in this Brooklyn Rail article.

  One: for artists, writers, and those with an interest in intellectual property rights, this is very worrisome.
  Two: I’ve liked what I’ve read from Joy Williams, and the news that an older novel of hers is being reissued (with a new Rick Moody introduction) definitely has my interest piqued. [via: Maud Newton]
  Three: Apparently, pigeons are tasty.

  Maria Tessa Sciarrino is a hell of a photographer. She’s posted a number of photos from SXSW, and they’re worth a look.

  Home internet was down since Thursday morning, and is only now restored, hence the seemingly sparse posting here lately.
  Expect the scintillating commentary to resume shortly.
  For now: New York residents with a fondness for art might want to check out “Flip” at Brooklyn’s Like the Spice gallery.

  Have just returned from seeing Kara Walker’s work at the Whitney, and Zhang Huan’s at the Asia Society. My brain will now be hard at work processing both for the next few days, if not much, much longer.

  I’ve been catching up on my weekend NY Times reading lately, and so it’s only now that I’ve come across this article on the handful of people who have been inside James Turrell’s Roden Crater in the years before its scheduled opening.
  Some of their images are on Flickr.

  1. Alex’s “Happy Winter” illustration. Charming and maybe, maybe, just a little disturbing.
  2. Maria reviews “The Music of Seal on Ice” for Idolator.
  Also, San Loco now sells wings. Uh-oh.

  The world is growing smaller indeed when Alex is illustrating an article by one of my favorite essayists these days. Also, from the article:

  Two art exhibits of note opening in the next week or so, both featuring work by artists who also happen to be good folks, and worth your time and attention.
  Twilight Time at the Realform Project Space (opening: 1/13) includes work from Jeremy Olson; if this is anything like the black-and-white work I saw of his [...]
