This Week’s Must-See Art Events: Spooooky Edition

by Paddy Johnson and Michael Anthony Farley on October 26, 2015

Halloween is here! The art world’s favorite holiday. If you aren’t busy working on a last minute costume, head to American Medium Tuesday night to see AFC’s friend Brenna Murphy and pick up her new book, Domain~Lattice. Wednesday night, go to the New Museum’s insanely fun Halloween party. Then on Thursday, head to Bortolami, where Tom Burr’s installations and photographs serve as a haunted house channeling the ghosts of Chelsea’s gayer, sleazier past. But really, the scariest thing in New York City this week is the NSFW flyer for Nolan Hendrickson’s Halloween, uh, opening at Ramiken Crucible.

We Went To Baltimore Part 2: Too Many Semi-Finalists in the Sondheim Semi-Finalist Exhibition

by Paddy Johnson and Michael Anthony Farley on July 21, 2015

MICA
1300 W. Mount Royal Ave.
Baltimore, MD
Sondheim Semi-Finalist Exhibition
What’s on view: 54 Semi-finalists for the Sondheim Prize held inside several MICA Galleries. Lots of sculpture, lots of photographs, and a few paintings that made the short list for the Sondheim Prize, an annual open call juried exhibition for baltimore-area artists. (This includes artists living in cities like Washington.) There’s no theme, and no attempt to forge one. All the galleries were crammed with work.

Michael Anthony Farley: Really, I think everyone has the same complaint every year: there is just too much stuff! No matter what strategies are employed, the show just always feels overhung and uneven.

Paddy Johnson: Honestly, I think you’re being overly-generous to this show. It was terrible.

Find out why after the jump.

Thursday Links: Be Very Afraid

by Paddy Johnson on October 16, 2014

The ArtQuarters Press semi-annual prize for art criticism has announced that their deadline for submissions has been extended to December 12, 2014. The prize is £1,000. [Breese Little]
RIP Loukanikos, the Greek riot dog that attended nearly every riot for the past ten years. A photo essay and obituary of his work. [Roarmag, Aljazeera America]
Eyebeam is stuck in Sunset Park’s Industry City. Their planned move to the BAM Cultural District has been stymied for reasons that are bit unclear. According to Executive Director Patricia Jones, the larger space would have doubled their operational costs. Did they not know this when they planned the move, though? What changed between the initial announcement and today? The rest of the article is dedicated to explaining why Brooklyn is so great for the org. [Hyperallergic]
An interview with artist Danielle Mysliwiec about her woven paintings and work with the feminist performance collective Brainstormers. I love how matter of fact the interview is: “Q: How do you see your work with this group and the “women’s work” nature of the weaving pieces relating to each other, if at all? A: I could probably concoct some kind of connection, but I don’t honestly feel that there is one. I came to weaving primarily because of its system, its relation to the grid, its history as a format for abstract imagery and because of its poetic/metaphoric possibilities. I knew almost nothing about it or how to weave.” [Bmore Art]
McSweeney’s will soon be a non-profit. “Our goal is to exist and keep on publishing in whatever way is most viable, and for us that’s as a nonprofit,” founder Dave Eggers said. [The New York Times]
Women are freezing their eggs, not because of job pressures, but because they weren’t able to find the right partner in time. No mention that finding the right partner takes time many women don’t have if they are working demanding jobs. [Business Week]
Gavin Brown is opening a new location in the Lower East Side and here’s five hundred reported posts from Frieze London—people are still buying art, and here’s the tour. [ARTnews]
Pumpkin carving season has begun. The New York Botanical Garden’s master pumpkin carver will be at work this weekend, and some of the country’s largest pumpkins will be on view. On October 18, in Williamsburg, there will be a pumpkin-carving contest at Crest Hardware. Naturally, the tools and process is important here. [City Room]
