Don Kenn’s Post-It Drawings<\/a><\/b>, via C-Monster<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"postindonkenn.jpg\"<\/span>I like these too: Marc Johns<\/a>, previously on CM, and Xu Zhen<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"postitmarcjohns.jpg\"<\/span>
\"postitxuzhen.jpg\"<\/span>Triple Candie’s R.I.P. fake show<\/a><\/b> for Maurizio Cattelan, via ANABA<\/a>, here<\/a>. Holland Cotter on TC’s 2006 fake show for David Hammons<\/a>,
\nhere<\/a>, whom Cotter rightly calls “one of the three or four most
\ninteresting and influential American artists of the last 30 years.”<\/p>\n

Susanna Bluhm<\/a> makes excellent comparisons<\/b> between artists in Target Practice: Painting Under Attack, 1949-1978<\/i> at the Seattle Art Museum<\/a> and major moments in art history, here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"targetpracticecompare.jpg\"<\/span>She should have identified them, however. Top, Lucio Fontana, Concetto Spaziale<\/i>, 1958. Bottom, Matthias Grunewald, from The Crucifixion<\/i><\/a>, 1515 (Isenheim altarpiece). <\/p>\n

Jen Graves<\/b> on the (I hope) come-back kid future of Seattle’s 911 Media Arts Center<\/a>, here<\/a>. Who’s to blame for its travails? <\/p>\n

B<\/span>illionaire Paul Allen’s “city within a city, where lively
\nworkplaces, shops, restaurants, schools, parks, entertainment, and
\nrecreation are located in a dynamic, emerging neighbor-hood” is once
\nagain forcing out the arts. Allen’s plan for South Lake Union, once
\ntouted as a developing arts and technology hub, is instead turning into
\na designer playground for the rich. 911 Media Arts Center, like
\nindependent arts groups Consolidated Works and Center on Contemporary
\nArt before it, can no longer afford the rent it pays to Allen’s company
\nVulcan.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Not fair, but admirably rousing. ConWorks collapsed under the weight of a bungling board. 911 and CoCA couldn’t afford the rent in a dollhouse. <\/p>\n

On the other end of the spectrum<\/b>, Ken Johnson slams the socially relevant at the Newwark Museum, here<\/a>. <\/p>\n

The strategy is pretty clear: almost every piece in the
\nexhibition, whatever its form — and there is a great variety of formal
\napproaches –pertains to a social issue. Race, ethnicity, identity,
\nimmigration, ancestry, disenfranchisement and globalization are among
\nthe themes represented, and if they are not immediately discernible in
\nthe works themselves, wall labels helpfully explain. Call it Postmodern
\nSocial Realism Lite.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Ouch.<\/p>\n

Finally, Martin Creed on YouTube (TateShots): “Art is just a word.” Word<\/a>.<\/p>\n
