So Next Wednesday starting at 5pm, at Winkleman Gallery in Chelsea, New York City, we will, together, create a 24 hour group intervention. Your presence is humbly requested at any point, for any length of time. At 5pm, Thursday March 11th, we will pop every skinny balloon that we have blown up during our time together.
Described as an “exercise in futility and one of joyous absurdity.”
Can’t wait to experience it.

Something I look forward to doing in 2010!
My friend, and one of NYC’s best art bloggers, Paddy Johnson is holding an end of year fundraiser to raise money to keep her blog (Art Fag City) going for another year.
“… we’ve all seen what happens to blogs when their focus changes to traffic, and the results aren’t good. Gawker’s music blog Idolator released Maura Johnson earlier this year, one of the best critics working today, in exchange for a couple writers who would more willingly focus on Kanye West and Britney Spears. Idolator’s traffic went up, sure, but where’s its substance? I don’t need that kind of money to stay afloat, I just have to eat. Your support helps me do this.”
If you value independent voices in media and criticism, please check out the fundraiser and consider donating.

Hrag is guest editing the Art 21 Blog for the next few weeks and is highlighting one of the themes of the fifth season of PBS’s Art 21: Transformation
“While Transformation evokes associations of all types, in relation to art the topic conjures up a long list of associations, including how we refashion identity, how we reinvent ourselves and how art adapts and changes over time.”
