Will Ryman sculpture at 59th & Park

  • Things I love. Hans Haacke’s “Ice Stick” (1966) is a tall six-foot refrigerated column. http://tumblr.com/xi61fna8e1 #
  • Sorry artists but the idea of purchasing an “archival inkjet” print does not sound attractive to me in the slightest. #
  • Great point! // RT @rejinl: @hragv I agree, and we need to stop conflating #printmaking and printouts. #

  • Trying to like The Daily but it’s too slow & buggy. Thinking I’m over it. #
  • Secret confession, I only want to go to this week’s CAA conference to find out who’s sleeping with who. Any tips? #
  • Don’t blame me, @thebenstreet did it /@starwarsmodern: @hragv ur trying to get my goat. “Why is sculpture so boring?”: http://bit.ly/hJl8A7 #
  • Why hasn’t someone told me about Takashi Kanzaki before? A gay live triangle between two guys & a ghost? I love it trashy. #

  • Best art press release subject line I’ve gotten all day, “Is it highbrow? Is it lowbrow? No, it’s Monobrow!” #LOL #
  • Checking out the Blind Dates show at Pratt Manhattan. Post-Ottoman artistic encounters. http://twitpic.com/3y2uka #
  • “Navelstone” (2010) by Linda Ganjian & Elif Uras best object. Vibrant. Personal. http://twitpic.com/3y2vzr http://twitpic.com/3y2vyp #
  • At the CAA conference & lots of bad haircuts. Art begins at home, people. #
  • At my 1st #caa2011 session, already heard about non-Western identity, gender, post-colonial remembering, hegemony http://twitpic.com/3y3am8 #
  • More buzz words: decorative, violence of West &non-West, mediated orient, sovereignty, “ceremony of loss” #caa2011 #still1stsession #iamhome #
  • I think I have a crush on the speaker. South Asian women w Anglo-Indian accents who discuss art are hot! Atreyee Gupta, Univ of MN #caa2011 #
  • The Q&A starts out awesome: “theories from the age of empire” used to problematize. #cannotmakethisup #caa2011 #
  • Just heard the crisis in art history talk at @caa2011 – honestly, I have no interest. #chronictopic #
  • To clarify, I just heard about discussion at Crisis in Art History & that it was packed. #stilldonotcare #

  • At copyright & CAA panel. “You don’t have to declare fair use to be covered by it.” #CAA2011 #
  • Btw I’m at the “Copyright, CAA, and the Next Century” talk. #CAA2011 #
  • Learning so much about fair use & art history. Art historians really are the shock troopers of copyright issue. #CAA2011 #
  • “Are artists who refuse permission practicing a form of censorship.” IMHO YES!!!! #CAA2011 #
  • Just met Renaissance scholar from Tufts who when I said I was blogger didn’t think I’d be interested in her work. Boy is she wrong! #CAA2011 #
  • All this intellectual property & copyright discussion at #CAA2011 is amazing. Art historians are so with it. They see the BIG picture. WOOT! #
  • We have misconception that ancient artists were poor & uneducated, which is true. #CAA2011 #
  • Many artists in Ancient Greece were well paid & hailed from rich families. Some were even paid intellectuals. #CAA2011 #nothinghaschanged #

  • File under: Who knew?! // Salvator Rosa, 17th C artist, tried to break free of patronage of his era. #CAA2011 #
  • Salvator Rosa often made copies of his own work for fame not $$$. He even defended Domenichino’s “copying” of Agostino Carraci. #CAA2011 #
  • Rosa considered himself a master worthy of copying. That’s a good way of looking at it. #CAA2011 #
  • Freedom for #Egypt http://tumblr.com/xi61hn4qj0 #
