    • The Real Experiment November 4, 2009
      Allan Kaprow again. One characteristic of the lifelike art that was emerging in the sixties: “Various performative modes became the effective way to deal with this shift to the actual environment.

    • DO SOMETHING DONE October 31, 2009
      After some eleventh hour InDesign frantickity the book I’ve been making is finished. As I’ve been working on it a couple of things have been running through my mind.

Here’s the first of two reviews of the provocative current show at the ICA. This one’s by artist Craig Kao who most recently exhibited in the to take a-way (one) exhibition at the Nolias Gallery. I think his review raises some interesting questions about the role of the ICA in the curation of the work, [...]
