No, this is not why we wanted press credentials for Armory. Trust me, we are not likely to ever be at that financial level. We rarely buy an artist’s work after his or her first gallery show.

Yesterday we received a postcard from a gallery addressed to:

St. James Wagner

Since my listing on ArtCal of Federico Solmi’s wonderful show at Boreas mentions it being inspired by the Italian porn star Rocco Sifreddi, I think it scared Google Ads. It’s only running public service ads on that page.

I apologize for the lack of posting. I have 3 projects with March 1 deadlines, plus keeping ArtCal up to date is taking more time than I expected. Current number of locations in the database: 215.

Ick.

I’m not planning to write anything about it, but James and Joy Garnett have good posts on the subject.

First it was cows, then apples, and now kangaroos.

It’s only Monday, but I think I just saw the worst workout ensemble of the week:

• white polo shirt, collar up
• puka shell necklace
• jeans
• work shoes with heavy treads

• Nerdy Jewish boy wearing a “Physicians for Social Responsibility” t-shirt: Hot
• Chelsea boy wearing a silver hoop in each ear, an Armani Exchange baseball cap, and a “Pain is Fear Leaving the Body” t-shirt: Not

Comments are off. Eventually I might have the patience to monitor them for wingnuts and spam, but at the moment I get too many of those to bother.

Sorry.

The art/politics mix isn’t just giving me an ulcer, as I said earlier, it’s giving me bad dreams. Last night I dreamed I was at a gallery opening and an ax-wielding madman stormed in and killed everyone.
