New Corcoran Director
I promised my source that I wouldn't reveal the name, which the Corcoran will announce on Friday Thursday.
But here's a hint: England.

New
Thinking About Art has a great discussion going on about the relative merit (if any) of the "new" in art.
Read it here.
Giovanni Battista
I have been sort of having an artist's block lately when it comes to my own drawings, which is a bad thing, since I have a show opening December 16 at Fraser Gallery Georgetown.
I'd like to have about 25 new drawings, and so far... ahhh...
So whenever I am stuck, one of the subjects that I tend to return to are the recurring images in my artwork, such as images of Frida Kahlo, which I have been drawing, painting and sculpting since 1977, when I first saw her amazing work, or Che Guevara, whose iconic face and figure keeps reappearing in my art throughout the years.
Or in this case, the image of John The Baptist. The below piece is a new drawing (charcoal on 300 weight paper, about 3 x 9 inches):

It will also be on TV tomorrow (Wednesday evening) at 10:52PM.
The Vlogging Revolution
DMV artist Rob Parrish is a Vlogger and Hopper Video is his Vlog.
Vlogging (aka video podcasting) should be of interest not only to video artists but to all artists and art venues in general. The key event that has made posting video so attractive is that there are now several sites that will host your video for free. This eliminates worries regarding bandwidth issues. If you're interested check out FreeVlog. It is a very well done guide to vlogging.
And I agree with Rob Parrish in that Vlogging has some potential for artist self-promotion, especially since it can be done for free!
Anyway... Vlogs are essentially blogs that have video content in addition to text. And like podcasts, you can subscribe to a vlog and have the videos downloaded to your computer via iTunes or via specialty vlog aggregators (Check out MeFeedia.com and also GetFireAnt.com).
Mefeedia has some interesting tools to search for vlogs. FireAnt comes with about thirty or so vlogs pre-loaded.
Another fun way to find vlogs, if you've got some time on your hands, is to go to vlogmap.org. There you will find a satellite picture of the world via Google Earth. On the picture are flags, and each flag represents a vlog's physical location and contains a link to the vlog. So, you can trot around the world checking out vlogs.
Soon, perhaps we will have all of our artists discussing their shows through an online video, and perhaps even sooner, we'll have online art bloggers doing our art criticism thing through a terrific marriage of words and video and imagery.
Can anyone else hear the end of the printed newspaper creep a little closer?
