- Art has changed. Contemporary Art Daily’s spread of photos and video from “Made in LA” includes Amanda Ross-Ho’s Untitled Satellite Image, in which women discuss the subtle movement of a spinning ball (2014) next to Bob Flanagan and Sheree Rose’s Nailed, in which Flanagan nails his balls to a piece of wood (1989).

- An artist in Alberta has covered his 800 acre property with artwork and copyrighted it in an effort to stop oil corporations from drilling on his land. Apparently, a document his lawyer drew up claims that any disturbance of the top six inches of land constitutes a copyright infringement. This makes no sense to us. Maybe the Art Law Blog or the Art Law Office can explain whether this article is bullshit. [Daily Kos]
- It’s fashion week. No link. Just a warning to avoid the Meatpacking District if possible.
- Eh, shit. Doubts are emerging over whether Detroit’s bankruptcy plan is feasible. [Reuters]
- Columbia visual arts student Emma Sulkowicz will carry her mattress with her everywhere until her alleged rapist is brought to justice. She claims that she was raped in her own bed, and she’s one of 23 students who filed a federal complaint against the school for mishandling rape cases. Two other students have claimed that Sulkowicz’s alleged rapist raped them, too. Alleged rapist is still attending Columbia. [New York Magazine]

is it just me, or are some of the pieces (maybe Darren Bader’s especially) a little over-documented? I couldn’t get much of a sense for the contributions of some of the artists in the show in this body of documentation while others seemed disproportionately well-represented. It’s one of the weirdest posts I’ve seen on contemporary art daily.
Four different angles of a distant honey jar on a pedestal, and a video of balls-nailing. It’s unlike anything I’ve seen on the site before.
It seems like maybe these images went up uncurated? This seems like the kind of thing Forrest would normally edit a lot more.
I don’t know though… maybe this is just the limits of his personal taste for art and certain styles of documentation being more transparently obvious? He’s always liked obtuse materials…
