- “Nothing is particularly easy to understand” says Trevor Paglen in a great interview with Regine Debatty. He also says that it’s gotten easier to do his work as he’s become better known. Paglen explores the aesthetics of secrecy. [We Make Money Not Art]
- An Xiao writes about Roberto Chabet, the father of Philippine conceptual art. The piece does a great job discussing his work and asks the question, “As with Zhang Peili, the reputed father of Chinese video art, how much of Chabet's work is of global interest versus a regional one (which is certainly no less important)?” [Hyperallergic]

- Adam Lindemann is a satirist? Occupy Art Basel Miami Beach. [New York Observer] [via: @peresprojects @gregorg, @powhida]

- Calling all Japanther fans: The band/art project will perform at EMPAC, upstate this weekend. Dubbed The Cake of The Three Towers (TCo3T), the collaborative performance project featuring Japanther, Schuyler Maehl, Florian Reither, and Felice Faison for Quote Unquote will draw parallels between three industrial archetypes; prisons, museums, and housing projects. Okay, they’ve got me – what’s that going to look like? [EMPAC]

Picabia’s paintings are described as mischievous by Joshua Abelow and noted by Russeth as varying in style enough to make some question his sincerity. Not so sure why the writer believes that eliding personal politics and aesthetics is a questionable project — isn’t this a common practice? — but that’s fine. [Galleristny]
- Put a bit of time aside for this: Digital Literature and the Post-Modernist Problem. #longreads [Digital Humanities]
