Feeling #rank (Part 3)
In my original post about #rank, I argued that there were too many events going on back to back without enough time for reflection. Having time to casually discuss what we were attempting to do at #class, as I’ve said, was an important access point for visitors. Another thing that also helped people drop their defenses was beer. I know it doesn’t sound like much, or that maybe we...
Feeling #rank (Part 2)
Now that I’ve given myself and Jen Dalton a critique about how we shaped #rank, I want to turn the discussion away from the structure towards what actually happened. I’m going to work through the events based purely on my subjective recollection of the events regardless of chronology. It’s my personal form of ranking the events, but this is not a critique of the works in any...
Feeling #rank (Part 1)
Now that I am back home from Miami and have had a couple days to think about #rank, I am feeling rather that, just rank. Every year that I’ve gone to Miami, I leave feeling like I’ve lifted the curtain and stared at the great god Pan and learned some horrible truth about the universe. Normally, when an individual confronts the unknowable, they go insane. I always feel like...

“How To Play The Game”
The goal of the game is relatively simple, get your work in to Met and make history. You need to follow a path through the art world from an MFA program towards recognition, representation, and museum exhibitions while picking up some supporters along the way who will help propel you into history. Like the real art world, whether your in or out is largely out of your control. We’ll assume you have...

We’re currently in the middle of casting our newest show for Bravo, an as-of-yet-untitled reality competition series set in the contemporary arts world. Sarah Jessica Parker’s production company, Pretty...
Work of Art Rant
I’ve had a few meltdowns on Twitter lately over the tweets people have been posting while they watch Bravo’s Work of Art. The snark invades, despite my efforts not to watch the show. The artists, bloggers, and critics all seem to have outsmarted the poor bastards on the game show. Indeed, many of the comments are funny and probably more entertaining than the show itself, which I stopped...
