This year Turin is the World Capital of Design, a title that the city is holding fairly decently but without much panache. No critical design, no interaction design, nothing really progressive nor challenging either. Still, there's a couple of interesting exhibitions going on this year. The one i visited on Thursday might actually be the best show about design i've seen in a long time. Olivetti, Una bella società --which could be translated as something that sums up the ideas of [...]

Inflated Artist Syndrome – artmarketblog.com One of the biggest problems with an art market that is growing at such a rapid rate is that the massive demand for fresh talent and new works has catapulted many artist’s to the dizzying heights of art market stardom without the level of critical, institutional and curatorial recognition that one

Image and text source: NYTimes Published: May 28, 2008 BEER has long been marketed as a sociable beverage, from a campaign for Budweiser that carried the theme “When gentlemen agree” to the Löwenbräu jingle that began, “Here’s to good friends.” Now, another beer brand, Coors Light, is extending its presence in the new media with efforts on the social networking Web sites Facebook and MySpace. To promote a new wide-mouth Coors Light can, two clips of the “perfect pour” have [...]

Sonnabend is probably the gallery that most closely resembles an actual photography museum in (New York's) Chelsea. Whenever I'm in town I go to see their shows, especially since almost inevitably it's one of the usual German suspects (and even just a glimpse of, say, one of Elger Esser's large photographs, often - and sadly enough - makes the whole trip to Chelsea worthwhile). Just a few weeks ago, I went again. It has become a bit of a tradition for [...]

I'm a big fan of Tom Waits' music, and I wasn't looking forward to Scarlett Johansson's interpretation of some of his music (dreadly anticipating something along the lines of Paris Hilton's "music"). I have to say that the actual results surprised me - even though it's one of those surprises that is neither good, nor bad, but just plainly weird: The whole thing sounds as if you somehow crossed Nico with Shinead O'Connor after sucking all the talent out of the [...]

Post by our man in City Hall, Dustin Metz:[We've been waiting for this for six months--the re-establishment of the Office of Arts and Culture and the appointment of its head. Then, neither of us could make it to Mayor Nutter's announcement. So we asked Dustin Metz to go. Here's his report. (If you want to skip to the all important who, it's down after the subhead "Drum roll please...").]As I entered the Reception Room for the Mayor in City Hall the [...]

"When the power of love, overcomes the love of power, the world will know the peace." This prophecy by rock legend Jimi Hendrix could be the foreword to a manifesto on the use of music in the propagation of nationalism, but instead it's a point of inspiration for "The Sonic Self," an exhibition at the Chelsea Art Museum. Open through August 30, the show brings together a range of "participating artists from around the world with the main goal that [...]

OpenSpime is a project of a pervasive technology infrastructure that allows individuals and corporations to better understand their environment, through the use of a series of GPS-enabled sensors. A brainchild of Leandro Agrò, Roberto Ostinelli and David Orban, OpenSpime was inspired by Bruce Sterling’s vision of “Internet of Things”. Sterling describes a new type of technological device called “spime“, a physical object that is part of the internet as it becomes trackable in space and time, through pervasive RFID communications and [...]

Screengrab AFC For all the things Artnet Auctions does right — placing comparable sold items on their site, easily accessible lot item provenance, artist bios, condition reports and even an ebay-like “purchase now” button, I haven’t noticed a lot of buying going on. Were I a collector I’d have a few problems with the fact that the work’s date of execution is listed low enough on the page that you have to scroll down to see it, but that aspect [...]

When I last left this subject, I had a studio on the property of a luxury hotel on the Greek island of Mykonos. Since then, a lot has changed. I always feel that the interest of someone in what I do is defined clearly in the moment they buy one of my pieces. The depth of that interest is made clear by the amount they are willing to spend, and the effort it will take them to accommodate what Ive [...]
