Best Link Ever! Barbra Streisand Speaks to The Sound of Art!

by Paddy Johnson on September 17, 2010

In 1985 Barbra Streisand had a premonition that Art Fag City would try to raise $10,000 to produce , distribute and launch a record, so she wrote and performed the ditty above. Sound of Art, a record that brings together sounds culled from art works exhibited across the city is not explicitly mentioned, but lets be honest — it might as well be. I briefly considered re-enacting this, but since no one needs to be subjected to my singing, I decided simply to post the lyrics below and update the cast.

by Art Fag City on September 16, 2010

I’m running a Kickstarter campaign to help raise funds for the production of an LP full of art sounds heard in New York called The Sound of Art. $10,000 is the base number I’d need to complete the project, a very scary number for an independently run blog such as this to raise.

Friday Links! Arty Sex Toys and a Swedish Librarian

by Corinna Kirsch on June 29, 2012

Keith Haring’s art is on a new line of sex toys, and the staff of AnimalNY took it upon themselves to ensure the “uber-advanced vacuum fuck cups” were up to par. Best review: “Still feels like I’m fucking a rubber egg.” [AnimalNY]
Jonathan Jones, that voice of art criticism cloaked in arcane classicism, has stated in recent tirades that cavemen weren’t artists, Big Ben is a timeless work of art, and if given the option, Rembrandt should be shown over Andy Warhol. Somehow, he still has room to like Bruce Nauman. [The Guardian]
For a time, Sweden’s biggest criminal was a wayward librarian. Nobody suspected the librarian had been stealing rare and valuable books, even though he was living the life of luxury, with “Armani suits, silk ties, Cuban Cohibas and a Mercedes.”After he was caught, he committed suicide, and became a posthumous celebrity in Sweden, with a TV mini-series and radio documentary. Now, one of his stolen manuscripts, containing the first Atlas of the Americas, has been recovered, a map worth almost half-a-million. [The New York Times]
At yesterday’s contemporary sale, Phillips de Pury showed the bigger auction houses that they, too, can shatter records. Some examples: they brought in the highest-ever dollar amount for a Wade Guyton and for a Basquiat-Warhol collaboration.We’d predicted the Guyton would move quickly, noting he’s been a charmer to collectors in our cheat sheet to the sale. [Art Observed]
Someone vandalized Billy the Kid’s tombstone in the Fort Sumner Museum. [Auction Central News]
The best K-pop art ever. And yes, that is a group of shirtless boys squirting each other with a hose. [Hancinema]
The National Academy announces its newest artist members to the academy, a group including Cindy Sherman, Bill Viola, and Robert Gober. You may now refer to them as “National Gallery Academicians.” Although this is an entirely honorary title, it’s the first time the organization has allowed artists working in video, photography, and installation to enter join the academy’s ranks. [Media Bistro]
The Coalition on the Academic Workforce (CAW) just released a report on the abuses of part-time college faculty. The report finds that almost half of the entire higher education faculty in the United States is part-time and the median pay per course for these part-timers is a measly $2,700 per semester. [CAW]
Don’t miss Amanda Fucking Palmer at The Seaport Museum tomorrow night. We predict awesomeness. [South Street Seaport Museum]
Jamie Beck and Kevin Burg have apparently trademarked “Cinemagraph.” [Cinemagraph]
If you’re in Baltimore, come listen to The Sound of Art! It’s included in an exhibition at Baltimore’s Guestspot gallery through August 4th. [Guestspot]
