Monday Links: NYC Weather Continues to Suck

Scroll Tone RGB (2011) – Travess Smalley

It’s another rainy day here in New York, and by this evening, we’re looking at temperatures in the 20’s (-5ish for those of you who prefer Celsius). Good times!

Nothing too exciting to report from the weekend, so here’s a few morning links to start the day.

Lonely hearts continue to look for love at museums in the first art world missed connections post of 2014. [In the Air]
In preparation for the Super Bowl, New Jersey is cracking down on one of the problems associated with the annual game, sex trafficking. Ugh, world. [AP]
An interview with Christie’s auctioneer Jussi Pylkkanen. Pylkkanen comes about as close as he can to saying there’s an art bubble when asked, comparing today’s market to 1987’s. Pylkkanen doesn’t note that 1987 was also a famed bubble, but a smart reader will pick that up. [The New York Times]
Melanie Gerlis gets a chance to promote her new book Art as an Investment? A Survey of Comparative Assets in a 1,500 word article for The Art Newspaper on the subject. She talks about why it’s so hard to create an index for art—insufficient data—and why it’s better to think about art as a rainy-day security rather than an investment. [The Art Newspaper]
Who made the Forbes 30 Under 30 list for art? Don’t expect to see too many names you recognize—most of these youngsters are in fashion or design—but hooray for wildcard Travess Smalley. [Forbes]
A simply smart review of a Kate Owens show points out a big issue with documenting performance in the gallery: “Presenting the physical remnants of a real event … is a good idea, but the format of that retelling – a flimsy photocopied document next to the comments book – surely downplays its significance. I watched several viewers ignore it.” [Art Review]
Film critic A.O. Scott had his tweet about Inside Llewyn Davis turned into a full-page ad by the film’s producers in The New York Times. Twitter shares that day went up $1.50. Coincidence? According to this member of the peanut gallery, yes. [Gothamist]
Shareholders are telling Apple to put more women and other minorities on their board. [The Atlantic Wire]
We guess it’s not too early to start planning for Bushwick Open Studios. They’re seeking graphic designers, website developers, and a team of general volunteers. [Facebook]

by Paddy Johnson on October 31, 2013

Carol Vogel reports that hedge fund manager of SAC and bullish art collector Steven A. Cohen will sell about $80 million worth of works he recently acquired through private collections. His company’s recent deal with the government to plead guilty to securities fraud is said not to have informed the decision. “Ever the trader, Mr. Cohen is also taking advantage of today’s active art market where new collectors will often pay far more for artworks than they are worth.” [The New York Times]
In response to a conversation over Twitter about the aforementioned article, Greg Allen updated the Greater Fool Theory on Wikipedia to include the art market, using Steven Cohen as the example. [Wikipedia]
Miley Cyrus dry humps a wrecking ball. We have Terry Richardson to thank for that video and photoshoot. She’s also sharing her Halloween porn pumpkins on instagram. Trick or Treat! [The Superficial]
Miley Cyrus wins Halloween as Lil’ Kim. [Racked]
The Toronto Sun has taken to trolling artists. Killjoy Kastle, a lesbian haunted house that features a room of severed penises and a mock-ball busting room, has sparked an op-ed in the guise of reporting on how Canadian tax dollars are being misspent. We’re talking 500 bucks. Allyson Mitchell, the artist behind the project, refused to allow The Sun entry into the haunted house. [The Toronto Sun]
USC’s Roski School of Fine Arts is hiring two part-time lecturers and two tenure track position. [USC via The Baer Faxt]
What a lead, “Art Toronto isn’t anyone’s favorite fair, but it’s the one we have.” Looks like we weren’t the only ones underwhelmed with this fair. [BlouinArtInfo]
Here’s a baby moved to tears by the sound of his mother singing. [The Huffington Post]
A.I.R. Gallery is inviting artists to apply to their biennial fundraiser. It’s a celebration of women! This year, they’ve named an award after yours truly—THE PADDY JOHNSON PRIZE. Ladies, get your jpgs ready. 40 bucks to apply. [NYFA]
After last night’s exhaustive research, I have determined that pitbull puppies are the cutest of all dogs, and baby elephants the cutest of all baby animals. [Google]
Look out publishing world: The home furnishing company Restoration Hardware (now RH) is releasing a quarterly pub, RH Contemporary Art Journal. This follows the Times’ September profile of RH’s plans to open a Chelsea gallery this November, which discussed about company’s Orwellian leadership. Company president, Gary Friedman, “compares himself to the Roman architect Vitruvius and enjoys alliterative euphemisms. RH is not a company, it’s a “cause.” It’s not about profits, but “purpose”; not about brand, but “beliefs.” Employees are referred to as “team members,” and the marketing department is called the “truth group.” [New York Times Magazine]

Tuesday Links: Your Full-Time Art Links With a CVS Soundtrack

by Paddy Johnson Whitney Kimball and Corinna Kirsch on May 21, 2013

After Time Out Chicago axed their full-time art critic, a flurry of criticism arose about how many full-time art critics are actually out there, and whether freelance critics count. Gallerist NY adds to this debate just by simply stating what critic Deborah Solomon stated on WNYC this week, that there are fewer than ten full-time art critics writing for newspapers. Yes, we know this, but many freelancers out there are upset that “full-time art critic” doesn’t refer to online publications or those who write for several. It’s an issue of legitimacy in the eyes of changing media. For that debate, just take a look at the comments section to this piece. [Gallerist NY]
Greg Allen is no fan of Architecture Firm Diller Scofidio + Renfro’s Hirschhorn design, “The Bubble”. Liz Diller wonders if the museum could be an agent for cultural diplomacy and proceeds to present a structure designed to house expensive events like TED, the WEF, and CFR fora. Why ask the question, if the purpose of the venue won’t ever answer the question. [Greg.org]
E-book revenue increased by 42% last year. Art publications are still harder to find for my Kindle than your fill-in-the blank bestseller. [The Los Angeles Times]
Fewer couples are having kids in the states, but they’re making way for more puppies. U-S-A! [The Atlantic]

Hennessy Youngman has come out with his second lo-fi mix this year, CVS Bangers Vol. 2. Listen to the mellow 80s tracks you’d hear while filling your cart up with Mac ‘n’ Cheez Whiz, interrupted by a blaring airhorn, then Hennessy-designed ads, then someone saying “Obama”. Just Obama. [Soundcloud via Twitter]
The Asia Society has hired a new President, Josette Sheeran, vice chair of the World Economic Forum. [The Wall Street Journal]
The Met just appointed a new curator to its Department of Medieval Art and the Cloisters, C. Griffith Mann, since the Cleveland Museum of Art’s chief curator. He’ll be bumping up current curator Peter Barnet to senior curator of that department. [Cleveland.com]

During this time, the museum has been without a permanent Director, but now they’ve hired Christopher Bedford. He’s leaving his position as Chief Curator at the Wexner Center for the Arts, where over the past four years he has helped bring exhibitions of Mark Bradford, Omar Fast, and Cyprien Gaillard to the Ohio State campus.

You Tube’s full of hidden goodies. It’s not just funny puppies and cute kitties – or cute puppies and funny kitties; it has oodles of early computer animation to sift through.
