Edith Newhall for The Inquirer →
“Standing in the space inside Baldwin’s mounts, facing their fastidiously fabricated backs (on which he also positions his assemblages), I felt as if I were in a gallery turned inside-out - or like Jonah in the whale - and, in fact, I sort of was.” —Edith Newhall

Inspiration is for Amateurs
“The advice I like to give young artists, or really anybody who’ll listen to me, is not to wait around for inspiration. Inspiration is for amateurs; the rest of us just show up and get to work. If you wait around for the clouds to part and a bolt of lightning to strike you in the brain, you are not going to make an awful lot of work. All the best ideas come out of the process; they come out of the...

B. Wurtz at Metro Pictures
I came across the artist B. Wurtz on one of my routine run-throughs of Chelsea galleries a few years back. He was showing at Feature and the sculpture made quite an impression on me. One particularly memorable work was composed of a piece of wood, placed horizontally on the floor, that had a metal rod rising from it. A plastic bag was gently hanging from the rod. The bag was turned upside down...
Franz Erhard Walther: Work as Action
I love going to Dia: Beacon for so many reasons. The architecture doesn’t fight the artwork and the space that work is given is something that you typically don’t find in most museums. I also love the entrance way; guests to the museum squeeze through this little narrow passage and on the other side awaits 240,000 square feet of exhibition space illuminated by natural light....

Rory Mahon, Sculptor
One of the things I enjoy about making art is the process — from a project’s first simple thought to the journey of making that idea a reality. And once you have an idea, you’ll go to any lengths, no matter how ridiculous or time consuming or painstaking, to see it through. What I appreciate most is the decision-making that happens along every step of the way, and how the...

William Knight at the Textile Museum, Green: The...
Every so often I am reminded of just how small the (art) world can be. On a recent commute into work, I heard a piece on NPR about a show at the Textile Museum in Washington D.C. titled “Green: The Color and the Cause.” The announcer spoke about the concept for the show and described a few of the artists’ works. Turns out I know one of the included artists — William...

Artspace.com is the newly launched online marketplace specializing in limited-edition prints by contemporary artists. They say, “Living with art and engaging with artists should be accessible to everyone, no matter where you live or whom you know” yet in a recent piece on Artinfo, they say the site aims to appeal to aspiring collectors with above average incomes (+$100,000). This is a...

“Sorry I haven’t posted in a while. I recently had a very, very, very, minor, very, very, very, mild heart attack” is just one of the posts featured on digital artist Cory Arcangel’s blog Sorry I Haven’t Posted. Cory basically re-posts posts of people apologizing for not posting to the internet, and even though it hasn’t been updated in a while (ah, the irony), it still...
