POST BY PADDY JOHNSONart fag city, parker koo ito
Masthead, Parker Koo Ito

Art Fag City is not yet ready to display the collection of cocks we’ve received from artists over the years, but Frieze beat us to the better version of that post — a listicle of weird correspondence emails. It appears we’re on a number of these same artists mailing lists. A few highlights:

  • Bonjour, I am a French painter!
  • I am a young artist, do you have an art section? Sent from my iPod
  • Ladies and Gentlemen, Respected Members of The Media, Press & Artworld! I introduce myself to you all today exclusively. The greatest artist of the modern age! I welcome your feedback.
  • Nazis is one of essential and the most fashionable topic in the modern art. If someone wants to succeed and to show himself as a serious artist, he should catch on Nazis or the Holocaust subjects.

I’m not sure we have very many emails that could top the Frieze collection, but my favorite as of late reads as follows.

  • how are the art fag city masthead artists selected? do you have to have street cred.? i’d be interested in making some. PPPPPPPPPPPPPP

That message came from artist Parker Koo Ito. We gave him a slot in the masthead.

    That email was indeed perfect. See below:

    Hey Karen,
    I was wondering how you and Paddy choose the artists to do the IMG MNGMNT series? Caitlin Denny and I would love to do an essay next year tentatively titled “In the Future Everyone’s Grandma Will Watch Scat for 15 Minutes, or How the Internet is Like Bahktin’s Canivalesque, but Cooler.” If this sounds interesting I can tell you more.
