Thursday Links: Dickface Rules!

Paddy tweeted this last night, but here is the most dicktastic font. Ever. [Dickface, via @Artfcity]
Another dicktastic font, possibly more dicktastic than the last because it’s in 3D (and used at the AFCRPAAaA* last year)! [Cocksure, via Rollin Leonard]
Things we learned today: Click through images of art critic Jerry Saltz on Facebook. Yesterday we saw a torso shot of him in front of a Sol LeWitt wall work. Today, we were forwarded the full image (thanks Marina Galperina). He’s got some fancy shoes! [Facebook]
The Beatles made a variety show! Video here. [Beatles Bible]
Do not cross the path of secondary market dealer Helly Nahmad; he might send some ultimate fighters out to rough you up. [Gallerist NY]
One more reason to go to Philly: Roberta Smith extols the virtues of “Great and Mighty Things” at The Philadelphia Museum of Art. [NYTimes]

Your Guide to Armory Week

by Reid Singer on March 4, 2013

Even though the hum around Armory week seems subdued this year, visiting half-a-dozen-plus art fairs can in a few days’ time can feel like a week on a Eurail pass. Naive outsiders are treated harshly, the food is unfamiliar and overpriced, and you spend a lot of time snooping around taking pictures. It’s useful to have an index that you can depend on to guide you towards the things that are worth seeing and away from the things that aren’t. A guidebook if you will. Here’s ours.

Monday Links: Economies of Scale

by Paddy Johnson on March 4, 2013

Tom Moody’s got a lot of great posts on his blog right now, including a sympathy letter to artists who made Hissbitch’s Five Worst Net Artists list, and some griping over the meet-up event titled, “Social Media, Art, and The Like Economy”. Moody points to Ryder Ripps’ “Zillion Hits vs The Darger Economy” as a better way to frame the discussion. He’s right, of course, though waiting til you’re dead for fame doesn’t leave much to talk about on a panel like this. That said, Marina Galperina expressed an interest in viral content driven by conflict, so perhaps this panel would have benefited from hosting at least one person who doesn’t give a shit about likes. [Tom Moody]
Speaking of The Like Economy, this NYTimes Bits blog post about how Facebook may actually be suppressing likes you don’t pay for is frightening. [NYTimes]
Carolina Miranda’s post on Richard Jackson will be made into a TV show if she can get enough votes. This is what journalism 2.0 looks like. (Vote for her). [kcet]
Blast from the past: 8 months ago Edward Winkleman posted an excerpt from a newsletter by collector Alain Servais about what he calls “very bankable artists” VBA and the necessity for galleries to “grow or go”. Very prescient. [Edward Winkleman]
Related, in that same post, a number of commentors speculate on the meaning of a tweet I sent out back in August that read, “Art could do without the art world”. To be clear, I was simply referring to the ridiculous apparatus that holds this economy together, which includes a world of bullshit press releases and art lingo, skeevy dealers and curators, and a press corps that eats all this nonsense up. We all have days where we can include ourselves on that list, but hopefully, not too many. [Edward Winkleman]
Art critic and monochrome expert Thomas McEvilley has died. Jerry Saltz writes a beautiful obit. [Vulture]

The Complete Coverage of The Complete Coverage of the Rothko Vandalism

by Whitney Kimball on October 8, 2012

If art writers can’t have Columbus Day off, then at least we can have the second best thing to an art world snow day: an Art Vandalism Day! That means everybody in the art world can drop whatever they’re doing and spend two full days disputing the exact nature and aftermath of an art vandalism. Let’s see if we can push it to three.
