- Martha Schwendener calls the Independent, an art fair, exhibition hybrid a welcome mutation. [The New York Times]
- Jerry Saltz gives the Independent fair a reserved thumbs up. A few picks from him (though as of today the fair is an exhibition only.) [Vulture]
- Perhaps a more kid-friendly Snapchat, Boop is a new app which allows you to send self-destructing animated messages. They’re basically a slideshow of animated emojis. Sponsored Boops are also possible. Still, fun! [Tech Crunch]
- Obama calls for net neutrality. He wants the Internet to be classified as a basic utility, which service providers can’t block and filter at will. “The Internet has been one of the greatest gifts our economy — and our society — has ever known,” he writes. [The White House, via Tech Crunch]
- In Denmark, Jihadists are offered counseling and jobs. [The Toronto Star]
- Sheikh Saud bin Mohammed Al-Thani of Qatar, one of the world’s top collectors, has died suddenly at the age of 48 of natural causes. [The Art Newspaper]
- Judge Steven W. Rhodes approved Detroit’s bankruptcy plan, now known as “the grand bargain”, thus saving the Detroit Institute of Art from certain pillage. The bargain will provide money to save public workers’ pensions, and the museum will now be owned and protected by an independent charitable trust (as opposed to being owned by the city). [The New York Times]
- Phong Bui sucks off Walter Robinson on the Brooklyn Rail. (We like Robinson too, but this interview is absurd.) In the 1970s, Robinson was the co-editor and publisher of Art-Rite, a newsprint magazine distributed by Soho galleries. We’d never heard of it, but it was possibly the most relevant art publication ever printed. Congratulations, Walter! [The Brooklyn Rail]
