Really interesting reading over at Huff Post--sorry I missed this panel on Gender Equality in the Arts. So timely considering Arianna Huffington's recent commencement speech at Smith.

Who knew that private space travel will be happening within the year?!?!?!?!???!!!!!!

Readings this Tuesday

I'm just catching up over here on the court's ruling in favor of Richard Prince in the Cariou v. Prince case. If you, too, are needing to get caught up, start reading:

Donn Zaretsky's first thoughts.

Alfred Steiner's thoughts via Donn Zaretsky's Art Law Blog.

Sergio Sarmiento's very poignant thoughts (spoiler alert: he thinks the decision is an epic disaster) over at Clannco.

Did you notice Facebook's new flatness?

Now the great food at FRIEZE actually means something.

Comebacks to "My Kid Could Do That" over at Hyperallergic.


Ed Winkleman on "looking away from cynical influence" (and William Powhida).

In the news

Yoko Ono is being sued for her clothing collection at Opening Ceremony. Copyright infringement??? perhaps.

Sad news over at Gallerist: art dealer and artist Daniel Reich has died.

A "Try Before You Buy" art rental company...so many new online-based entities.

oh ROBERTA's! Don't you know you can't have unpaid interns???!! Unless they're receiving school credit??!! No such thing as volunteers at a for-profit establishment. OBVI this "ignited a hipster furor."

The LES isn't the easiest place for small galleries to survive...

Happy Reading!

the (art) world of 3-D Printing

Looks like my fascination with 3-D Printing was well directed, because the art world is catching on. Harvard is currently using the process to "fill in the blanks" and restore an ancient statue, while a Dutch architecture firm is investigating 3-D printed houses. THE FUUUUUTTTUUURRRRRRE....

High Anxiety Tuesday

Anxiety is high in the new year: This weekend was brimming with news-worthy events, spring semesters are about to start, and we're already talking about booth layout for upcoming art fairs. Here are some anxiety-inspired links for your enjoyment:

Artinfo catches onto the anti-anxiety design trend.

Artist Ben Pederson's video, Space Plants, simultaneously aids and calms my anxiety (through humor, I guess).

This "assault" story on the High Line is making me rather anxious.

I wonder if this article gives Larry Gagosian anxiety...

Thursday Reading

Most interesting thing I've seen/experienced all week...and before you click on the link, don't start trying to close all of the pop-up windows. Also, this might best be viewed on your home computer (I can't imagine this flying in a super strict work environment). Click here to enjoy!

AFC's "The show could use some improvement." Ouch. You harsh.

So what exactly IS VIP Art now? No longer an art fair, right? I get more emails from it than anything. I'm confused and overwhelmed.

Smack Mellon resumes business as usual with Aude Moreau's Sugar Carpet! MUST SEE!
