- CCA is now publishing the online art mags Art Practical and Daily Serving. Another college/non-profit crossover: Coronograph, Texas’ newest online art magazine. The interview-only pub will be jointly published by Dallas’ Southern Methodist University and Austin’s Pastelegram. [Glasstire]

- “[T]he works are porous, they leak out or into each other, and their material realities exist with or without the gaze of a person.” Artist Pierre Huyghe on his current show at LACMA. [Art in America]
- Nadya and Masha of Pussy Riot have released an English-language song and music video named “I Can’t Breathe,” after Eric Garner’s chokehold death. [The Guardian]
