Secrets in the New York Times
Another opportunity for all of those who dissed Art-O-Matic to eat crow.
Today's NYT has a piece by Sarah Boxer mostly focused on Frank Warren's PostSecret project, which made its first debut at the last AOM, then here with people's Top 10 lists, then at the Anne C. Fisher Gallery in G'town as part of Anne's Top 10 AOM list, and so on...
One of the best ways to prove negativity-driven mouthpieces wrong (just one of many ways), is success.
Congrats to Warren, and I know that this is not the last that we've heard of his project.

Gopnik on Portraits
Blake Gopnik comes across with a really excellent piece on portraiture. Read it here.
On June 1, the National Portrait Gallery is launching its first nationwide portrait competition, borrowing an idea from its British counterpart. Photography isn't being allowed in. But even if some truly interesting painting or sculpture emerges when the winners are announced next year, it's hard to see how it could touch the hermetic world of official portraiture. Unless a picture looks a fair bit like the portraiture that's come before, it doesn't fill the peculiar social and political roles its patrons have in mind for it.

Seven: Videographer Wanted
An idea that I hope to implement for Seven is to have the entire process documented.
As such we're looking for a volunteer videographer who's be willing to videotape the entire exhibition process, from the delivery of artwork commencing June 27th, to Kelly Towles painting a wall, to Alessandra Torres transforming a room, to the formal opening on June 30th.
Interested? Email me.
