Tyrus and Luke sharing the warmth that only family begets. Gotta love that.

The Future of Art Fairs


Trying to dissolve the mathematics of taxes in my mind I went to youtube and searched General Idea and found only 1 relevant but excellent video. And then from the same user, I bumped into the above video after reading an article about the Frankfurt Art Fair the other day and the way Michael Neff, its director is rethinking what a fair is, how it functions and what it looks like. The German accents are stellar.

1977 vs Nineteen Seventy Seven

It turns out that reading online is easier if you just give numbers straight up as numerals versus spelling them out. Is it just another indicator that we're getting dumber as a whole? I don't think so, we live in information deluge... most of would prefer that 1 minute highlight reel version of 30 minute news broadcast. And if you got an email going over 50 words? Give me a call. Gotta write it though? If you really want me to take it seriously? Write a letter. I like real mail.

2 sides, 2 different coins


With Tony Blair speaking frank nonsense this week, it's refreshing to watch the Wu spin a masterpiece about it from the other side. It's like we're on earth, and they're on the moon.

RIP Sol Lewitt

The artist who coined "conceptual art" to describe his work and who co-founded Printed Matter amongst other achievements, is dead.

It's a new day.

3 gems for April 3rd



1. Tom Burckhardt and his cardboard and india ink studio is amazing and some of his painting is kind of tight too.

2. The graphics of Eric Nitsche (1908-1998)

3. Max Dean's Chair

Bonus Beat:

Rirkrit Tiravanija is at OCAD tomorrow giving a lecture.
