- Should the art world strike on inauguration day? Hrag Vartanian has posted a call and is asking others to participate. There’s a long thread on Facebook of supporters and people who claim this action won’t be visible enough. My own feeling: if this is the start of repeated action, it will be visible. It does lack the poetic symbolism, though, of a Day Without Art. [Hyperallergic]
- Sylvester Stallone is being eyed to chair the NEA. He has zero experience in the field, so I’m sure that’ll work out well. [Fox News]
- The new facebook messenger camera comes with new art, 3D masks, and special effects. This is in response to the rise of use of stickers and emojis. [Forbes]
- More than half of New Yorkers are rent burdened, says new study. No shit. [Curbed]
- New York City officials are very worried that their budgets are about to be cut thanks to Trump. Trump loves NYC, but my guess is that the Republicans will do what they like here and we’ll all suffer. [Politico]
- Well, this has to be a bummer for Sargent’s Daughters. They’ve lost artist Jordan Casteel to Casey Kaplan. [ARTnews]
