Wednesday Links: In the Future, We’ll Have Crabs and Potatoes

by Paddy Johnson and Corinna Kirsch on July 10, 2013

William Powhida reviews the exhibition catalog It’s the Political Economy, Stupid. He calls out theorists and critics who hope for a new, post-capitalist art practice without dealing with how we get to there (the future) from here (the now). It’s great. [Hyperallergic]
Magda Sawon did not win the High Line Art commission, but the activist Florent Morellet did. John Ahearn will sculpt his bust, which will go on view to the public in September. [High Line Art]
Though eight weeks old, this story’s totally relevant. Kriston Capps reports that D.C.’s independent gallery scene is shifting, and possibly shrinking. [City Paper]
Did you win this year’s apexart open call? Only if your name is Avi Lubin, Ceren Erdem, Jaime Schwartz, Martin Waldmeier, or Lisa Williams. [e-flux]

The house that Ai Weiwei built for contemporary Chinese art collectors Christopher Tsai and André Stockamp has now been sold. The upstate New York “compound” includes three bedrooms and a studio. [Curbed NY]
John Zorn turns 60. [The New York Times]
Malcolm Gladwell wrote about Korean Air back in 2008, saying that they’ve had more plane crashes because their culture is hierarchical. Slashdot seems to think this could explain Asiana Airline’s recent crash. [Slashdot]

Massive Links! Science Fiction Scandals | Blinking Destroys Art | Artforum Responds (Legally) to Intervention
