I’m heading out to Granville, Ohio today to install an animated GIF show I curated for The Mulberry Gallery at Denison University. This means a couple of things to readers, namely that Will Brand will be managing the site for the next couple of days – expect the quality of posts to be pretty high. I’m looking forward to reading part two of his series on the best and worst gallery websites, in addition to Corinna Kirsch’s take on the Stephen Rhodes exhibition at Metro Pictures, and the second installment of Guy Forget’s series on impermanence.

I’m taking Martin Luther King day to visit the Jewish Museum and prepare tomorrow’s posts. In the meantime: Emoji Dick! Fred Benenson’s Kickstarter project — Moby Dick translated into emoji by Amazon Turk workers is now available for purchase. I wrote the introduction for novel and have a color version at home on my desk. It looks amazing!

I’m taking the day to work on AFC’s fundraiser (donate here), so there won’t be much up on the blog. I’ll be back tomorrow!

A response to “Play”, the Guggenheim's recent YouTube exhibition and exercise in co-branding, “Playlist” is about how people actually use online video today. It's a peek at the “favorites” of a select group of artists, writers, and musicians; it's an exercise in sharing, taking place in the old-fashioned realm of actual public space. It doesn't add anything new to the world—instead, it looks at the strange archival richness that's already there on the Net.
