I’ve cleared my calendar of all Derby Day events tomorrow, so I have the day to attend the annual Derby Day fundraiser at Smack Mellon. I like gambling, and they’ve got plenty of that; horse racing bidding will determine the order party attendees can chose the art they’ll take home.

by Paddy Johnson and Corinna Kirsch on April 24, 2013
  • Dan Fox is now the co-editor of Frieze. [Frieze]
  • How do you build a large contemporary art collection? Here’s one successful method: send letters to well-known artists and swap “totally insane looking” drawings from your autistic son for their work. That ploy got the attention of This American Life; this week, the radio program aired an episode on this sketchy dude. At ARTINFO, Rosalia Jovanovic picks up where the TAL story leaves off, and speaks to Fredericks & Freiser artist Baker Overstreet about his involvement with the London [This American Life, ARTINFO]
  • Frieze is on Craigslist. We found an ad scouting out talented magicians, bartenders, and actors for artist Liz Glynn’s performance at the fair. [Craigslist]
  • Chicago has its first 3D printing facility. Available printers include the personal-use UP Mini and MakerBot, as well as the professional-grade EOS Formiga P110. The Duchamp toilets pictured in this article were made with the home printers. [New City]
  • The Barnes Foundation is raising ticket prices from 18 to 22 dollars. This isn’t shocking news, but their rationale is bizarre: to prevent visitors from touching the art. [Hyperallergic]

Monday Links: Catch Up Edition

by Paddy Johnson on April 22, 2013
  • Mobile Homestead is a public art space and a faithful replica of the suburban Detroit childhood home of the artist Mike Kelley. Randy Kennedy describes the space as a “free-form community center”, which can be used as a cite for garage bands, an exhibition venue, or a benefit space. The space will open May 11, thanks to the Museum of Contemporary Art Detroit, Mike Kelley, and a host of other workers. Watch it. Kelley thought it would be one of the most important things he ever did. [NYTimes]
  • Imitation of Christ designer Tara Subkoff’s, filmmaker Tatiana Von Furstenburg, and indie star Chloë Sevigny joined forces to produce a short film for MOCAtv. [ARTINFO]
  • Famed Art Critic Harold Rosenberg created Smokey the Bear! [Galleristny]
  • We’ll be providing a full write up later in the week, but for those who missed Rhizome’s Seven on Seven conference this weekend and need to read about it now, there’s the hashtag #7on7HTC and the Rhizome live blog. [Rhizome]
  • The Warhol Foundation is selling Rare and Vintage Posters on Fab.com. The sale will begin Thursday, April 25th and will last 15 days. [Hyperallergic]

This week’s art events support Jerry Saltz’s recent theory that the gallery show is dead. Our picks include karaoke, net art, a trip to Venice, a show on the white cube, and two separate nods to 1920s film screenings.
