by Reid Singer on March 4, 2013

Even though the hum around Armory week seems subdued this year, visiting half-a-dozen-plus art fairs can in a few days’ time can feel like a week on a Eurail pass. Naive outsiders are treated harshly, the food is unfamiliar and overpriced, and you spend a lot of time snooping around taking pictures. It’s useful to have an index that you can depend on to guide you towards the things that are worth seeing and away from the things that aren’t. A guidebook if you will. Here’s ours.

The Kitchen has had a good couple of months program-wise. We raved about Virginia Overton’s site specific sculptures. We should have raved about their group show Creative Destruction, because it was one of the best shows of the year so far. Everyone raved over Matt Wolf’s screening of I Remember, A Film About Joe Brainard. We like what we’ve seen.

Accordingly, we tracked down The Kitchen’s Executive Director Tim Griffin and asked him a few questions.

Tuesday Links: Taxation and Interrogation

by Paddy Johnson on January 3, 2012

  • Bad news: the Mayor of Boston, Thomas Menino (right), is sharply raising the fee many non-profits, including museums, must pay to the city in lieu of taxes. [Real Clear Arts]
  • A painter’s resource: 21 Great Painter’s Posts from 2011. [The Huffington Post] [Via: Martin Bromirski]
  • What happens when you give thousands of stickers to thousands of kids: the utterly predictable. Admittedly though, Yayoi Kusama‘s room might be better experienced. [Colossal]
  • Interesting: Elad Lassry will take on the role of choreographer this winter [Gallerist]
  • Ai Weiwei’s Sunflower Seeds open at Mary Boone this Saturday. [Hyperallergic]
  • Robert Hughes interrogates a collector. Neither personality comes out looking particularly good. [Youtube]
  • Jon Huntsman wins ArtINFO’s endorsement as the Republican Candidate least likely to gut the arts. His competition is Mitt Romney and Newt Gingrich (candidates best described as actively hostile to the arts) and he’s not got a chance to win this race, but still. Good to know, I guess? Also, did not know he was a fan of Captain Beefheart. [ArtINFO]

Jerry Saltz and Adrian Searle both maybe like Allora and Calzadilla’s tank at the US Pavilion, but Saltz thinks the rest should go. Sure it was a bit of a circus, but I liked the show regardless.
