New to NEWSgrist's blogroll this month is the happily sophmoric, endlessly editorialising and confessional--and terribly biting--Art Fag City. Sort of our polar opposite really... which is why we are attracted. For example:
On Eric Fischl:
Admittedly he has had some stellar moments, but whatever. [link]
On Cory Arcangel:
Tomorrow, Arcangel does the unthinkable at the PS1 Believer event and commits friendster suicide. In all likelihood this act will (as one of his friendster testimonials predicts) involve some sort of friendster hack, though he could simply be delisting people. Either way, this is a bold statement, particularly among the 25-35 year old crowd. I mean, really, he runs the risk of not ever recovering socially from a move like this. [link]
On "Ten People Smiling" at Artists Space:
I guess the term performance art was redefined as a boring party game when I wasn't looking. [link]
