The Anablogue: I Only Title in Helvetica

by Art Fag City on July 28, 2006

Image copyright Art Fag City In light of the fact that I don’t own a lap top and will be on vacation for the next week and a half, Art Fag City posting will be decidedly light. For those who feel lost without our Internet presence, (those people namely being me), I have started a […]

Contagious Media Festival

by Art Fag City on July 28, 2006

In response to my post on Screens, Art Fag City was invited to submit a piece to the Contagious Media Festival, a monthly competition held by The Huffington Post. While I’d like to inflate this into a highly targeted request on their part, I suspect they send these things out to anyone who mentions the […]

The Art Fag City Emerging Artist Summer Series: The Drawings of Saul Chernick

by Art Fag City on July 27, 2006

Creation myths are a response to the unanswerable question: Where do we come from? Like gods, those who assign meaning and purpose to our existence also determine who and what is most valued. I am interested in understanding ways that power is asserted by the Judeo/Christian mythologies concerning creation and the afterlife. Using a mark […]

Blogger Announces ArtKrush Interview to be Killin’

by Art Fag City on July 27, 2006

For months I have silently been frustrated with ArtKrush interviews and reviews that feel truncated and over edited. This issue I am less bothered by these problems, and I like to think this has nothing to do with the fact that I am mentioned in an interview with the Rhizome’s Executive Director Lauren Cornell. Cornell […]

Posting notice

by Art Fag City on July 26, 2006

Unfortunately, work not related to blogging gets in the way of posting from time to time, which is why there is no emerging artist feature today. Look forward to AFC Thursdays, which is different from AFC Wednesdays in that I will be here.

Who is Rob Krulak?

by Art Fag City on July 25, 2006

I think we can say that between Tyler Green and CultureGrrl, the blogging world officially has museums more than covered. This sort of stuff isn’t the focus of AFC so we’ll be steering clear of the majority this sort of discussion, but occasionally we do feel the need to make a few observations. So if […]

The Connection between a Dead Rabbit and Marky Mark

by Art Fag City on July 25, 2006

Gif courtesy of John Michael Boling I don’t know that anyone can truly complain about a slow news day with a big ol’ war going on, but that doesn’t mean that I’ve got much to say about anything right now either. To use a term coined by T.Whid of MTAA, I am officially feeling “unposty”. […]

Screens: Dropping the Blogging Bar at the New York Times

by Art Fag City on July 24, 2006

Proving that writing credentials and a PHD in English from Harvard mean jack shit if your efforts are half assed, television critic Virginia Heffernan pens the lamest and latest New York Times blog Screens. Normally, this blog would be right up our alley as it claims to cover all forms of Internet video art, but […]

by Art Fag City on July 24, 2006

Image copyright of The Brooklyn Museum Blog readers brace yourself for Monday’s breaking news: The Brooklyn Museum has just informed me they have a blog. Stop hovering your mouse over your browser’s back button. This is less important than anything else you could be reading right now – which should be appealing to those who […]

The Art Fag City Emerging Artist Summer Series: The Art of Tara Giannini

by Art Fag City on July 22, 2006

I locate beauty in the grotesque and the gaudy as well as in the elegant and graceful. I focus on the particular facet of beauty that deals with the macabre, and highlights the fragile and transient beauty of death and the passage of time. Embracing overindulgence, visual complexity and ornamentation, my works employ a wealth […]
