My very cursory overview of what’s going on in the universe of ‘net art is now up at ARTnews. If there ever was a story that was like falling down the rabbit hole, this was it. So much to see and read and watch.

Hey Folks:
I’ve got a feature in the February issue of ARTnews about the artsy fartsies that are happening in Bushwick.
I’m sure this will occasion some bellyaching about how articles such as these “ruin” a neighborhood. But I want you all to rest assured that I’ve done the math and no New York neighborhood is completely ruined until it is featured regularly in the New York Times real estate section (check) *AND* on the cover New York magazine (not yet). Though, if you’re wondering what said coverage would look like, check out the mag’s 1992 cover story on Williamsburg.
Anyhow, you can check out my story at ARTnews.com — or better yet, pick up the mag on the newsstand and help me pay for the wide selection of craft beers that now clutter my local C-Town. Okay, maybe not. I’m a Tecate-12-pack-at-the-Food-Dimension kind of girl…
xox,

Hey Folks:
I’ve got a feature in this month’s ARTnews on artists making art about the art world that often serves as a stinging critique of our little corner of human civilization. Covered in the piece are rants by William Powhida, installations by Jennifer Dalton, biennial pieces about biennials and my favorite: Joe Sola’s jump-out-the-window-during-studio-visits piece.
You can read the story online. Or, better yet, pick up the mag at your nearest newsstand.

Hey Folks:
If you’re into art and you’re into comics, check out this month’s ARTnews. I have a cover story on the growing overlap between the worlds of fine art and comic books, featuring established talents such as Gary Panter, Chris Ware and Daniel Clowes (that’s his illustration above) — among many others.
You can find the story online. But if you want to see it with all its graphic goodness, be sure to pick up the October issue of the magazine.
xox,
C.
In response to a story I did for ARTnews in January. Thank you, Curly.
