Boardwalk Art Show

This is about half of the massive 58th Annual Virginia Museum of Contemporary Art Boardwalk Art Show in Virginia Beach... it's late Friday, a few minutes after a massive wind burst destroyed about 33 booths and damaged many others.

The CIA, Jackson Pollock and the abstract boys...

Oh boy...

For decades in art circles it was either a rumour or a joke, but now it is confirmed as a fact. The Central Intelligence Agency used American modern art - including the works of such artists as Jackson Pollock, Robert Motherwell, Willem de Kooning and Mark Rothko - as a weapon in the Cold War. In the manner of a Renaissance prince - except that it acted secretly - the CIA fostered and promoted American Abstract Expressionist painting around the world for more than 20 years.

Read this!

I started out as a young Turk completely rebellious against skill.  I was conceptual!  I knew what was important!  And it wasn’t some type of mindless devotion to creating perfect solder seams.  I was so bad, and this is true; that on at least one occasion, my work fell apart at the opening.

Read some really good writing by Judith Schaechter at Late Breaking Noose here.
