Tuesday Links: Institutional Trysts

by Paddy Johnson and Rea McNamara on March 22, 2016

Is this the new normality we have to live with? To hashtag a city with the phrase “terrorist attacks” following? To expect safety check updates from Facebook friends in that region? Brussels’s airport and metro were hit by explosions early this morning. So far it’s been confirmed that 11 killed and 81 injured at Zaventem airport, 15 killed and 55 injured at Maelbeek metro. [Al Jazeera]
Prospect New Orleans has announced it’s opening dates: Saturday, November 11th 25th, 2017 through February. So, mark your calendars. Also, a newly-formed Artistic Director’s Council has assembled to help Artistic Director (and Nasher curator) Trevor Schoonmaker achieve his vision. What a line up: Miranda Lash Curator at the Speed Art Museum, Louisville, Kentucky, Omar Lopez-Chahoud, Artistic Director, Untitled, Miami, and artist Ebony G. Patterson. [Press Release]
Podcast of the day: Artelligence has an interview with Adam Fields of Arta, an uber-esque platform for matching galleries and collectors with appropriate shipping options. If you want to go deep on white gloved art shipping — or revisit previous traumas of shipping gone awry, since who enjoys it? — give this a listen. [Artelligence Podcast]
This recap of last week’s TEFAF Maastricht suggests it was a “refreshing expansion” in terms of exhibitors being unafraid to distinguish between fine and decorative art, high art and craft. Death to 19th art historian barriers! [The Economist]
Behold, the latest entry in the annals of allowing the internet the freedom to name something: the R.S.S. Boaty McBoatface, the proposed name of a new British polar research ship. People are really excited about this name—the poll has been hit so hard by traffic it’s gone down several times. [New York Times]
Christopher Knight weighs in on the dual Robert Mapplethorpe retrospective at LACMA and the Getty; despite the awkward LACMA wall text regarding Mapplethorpe’s “openly gay lifestyle” (according to Knight, “an accurate wall text would say he advocated living an openly gay life”) the show is a worthwhile collaboration involving the institutions’ joint acquisition of Mapplethorpe’s 1970s and 1980s photography alongside the artist’s archive of supporting materials. [Los Angeles Times]
Don’t miss The Conversation with Andrew Russeth. We’re a little late on this—it was made back in December—but it’s worth a listen. Highlights include: The observation that the best work being made today is sculpture, that middle tier galleries who have been in business for 10 plus years have it really hard, and that Lucien Smith and Oscar Murillo aren’t all that, but Anicka Yi is. Also an interesting question from Podcast host Michael Shaw: Are there conservative critics any more? According to Russeth, no. Just people who get out to more places. [The Conversation // Art Podcast]
Holland Cotter really is a hero. Nobody else at the paper of record so consistently brings to light the political and economic issues that shape the art industry. In his most recent piece (published last Friday), he writes about museums that take money from ethically challenge corporations, increasing gentrification and the museum’s role in that and more. [The New York Times]

Twitter grumbles about Google Play apps about Zwarte Piet, or “Black Pete”, the blackface companion to Saint Nicholas in the Netherlands. [Twitter]
One of the most brilliant ideas to come out of Occupy was the Rolling Jubilee, which buys people’s debt for pennies on the dollar and then destroys it. Author Chris Kraus speaks about art after Occupy with Strike Debt members Yates McKee and Thomas Gokey. [Artists Space]
From the new book Nothing: Surprising Insights Everywhere from Zero to Oblivion , Maria Popova weeds out a particularly interesting finding. “[C]uring loneliness is as good for your health as giving up smoking.” 🙁 Meditation is also medically validated. [Brainpickings]
A new virtual reality documentary comes out specifically for Oculus Rift. Unfortunately, it’s ABOUT THE TECH GUYS who made Oculus Rift, with some panoramas thrown in. I’ll wait for the movie that’s all panoramas. [The Verge]
Taylor Swift has been appointed the New York City Global Welcome Ambassador; so far duties include butt shots on the Hudson. [MTV News]
Relatedly, London mayoral candidate David Lammy would like to fill the city with celebrity statues a la Turbo Sculpture. [artnet News]
A good case for prefab houses: airy Muji hardwood boxes with large windows, high ceilings, and kits which run as little as $200,000. [Gizmodo]
Eva Barois de Cavel, Assistant Curator at the Raw Material art center, has won ICI’s Independent Curatorial Vision Award. She only gets $4,000 for a new project, though, which is barely enough to pay the artists. [Gallerist NY]
People are looting Morocco’s fossils. Which museums are buying them? [artnet News]
Eva Diaz gives Prospect New Orleans a decidedly mixed review. There’s great work, but it’s buried in locations that are hard to get to and not well marked. This mirrors our own experience, which will be discussing shortly. [Art Agenda]

Friday Links: Follow the “No Exit” Signs

by Paddy Johnson and Corinna Kirsch on May 16, 2014

No Exit author Jean-Paul Sartre with a cat.

In the name of anarchy and art, the Counterforce collective vandalizes Google’s Frank Gehry-designed offices. The destruction may have been minimal. [ValleyWag]
Famous epitaphs! Charles Bukowski’s tombstone reads “Don’t Try.” [Wikiquote]
Here’s a video of a cat saving a boy from a dog attack. Hero cat! [TMZ]
South Africa’s National Art gallery’s first black museum curator has been axed under suspicious conditions. [Daily Maverick]
An Albertson’s clerk failed to double bag a magnum bottle of wine, and it broke the bag and the customer’s foot. Now, the woman is demanding $8.3 million in damages. [Courthouse News via @bhsutton]
In Toronto, it’s worth following the roads with “No Exit” signs, writes Shawn Micallef. Often times those dead ends lead to hiking trails, artist studios, and even hockey nets. [The Toronto Star]
A Detroit bankruptcy judge tells creditors they can’t take artworks off the walls of the Detroit Institute of Arts. They’d like to examine them for buyers they already have lined up, claiming they’ve “found buyers willing to pay more than $1 billion for parts or all of the collection; one wants all Chinese art.” [Boston Herald]
Jason Foumberg discusses the Art Institute’s “pay-to-play” model for acquiring contemporary art. For $150, anyone can join the museum’s Society for Contemporary Art; this allows them to cast a vote for which work they’d like to see join the museum’s collection. [Chicago Magazine]
Jaimie Warren gets a mostly positive review from Roberta Smith, who lauds her art-making, but says she could stretch her art farther with a little discipline. Where the work lacks discipline was never laid out, though, so this review doesn’t provide much insight. [The New York Times]
Prospect New Orleans announces their artist list for the upcoming biennial, to be held October 25, 2014 through January 25, 2015. [Prospect New Orleans via Hyperallergic]
