Cornelius on the future of art criticism
...art blogs are the most fascinating aspect affecting the edifice of contemporary art discourse, especially in the area of future market impact...So wrote to me the fair Kathryn Cornelius in commenting about the whole "Critic on Criticism" post.
Cornelius' thesis at Georgetown touched on this area, and it's actually quite an interesting read. The thesis is titled "Creative Entrepreneuship: The Business Art and Art Business of Contemporary Artist Collectives."
Read it here.
Mama Love
Camille Mosley-Pasley, one of Washington's most active and innovative photographers, is looking for more moms of color and babies for her Mama Love book.
If you or someone you know has a baby, please contact Camille by e-mail ASAP. She's scheduling appointments for December 23 & 30. There will be two more sessions in January. Go here for details.
PostSecret on TV
Just saw an interview and a long segment (over five minutes) on MSNBC on Frank Warren's PostSecret exhibit!
And the fair Amy Robach even hinted that she'd mail in a secret.
See the TV clip here. Scroll down to bottom of page; the link is under "The Situation" banner and it's titled Post card confessions.
