I’ve been using this blog mostly as a place to put administrative posts about AJ. But I’ve decided to take up blogging myself. First, a couple more administrative notes. We’ve been adding more blogs to AJ in recent weeks. Former NYTimes reporter Judith Dobrzynski’s Real Clear Arts<\/a> debuted last week with a bang, and she’s been breaking news almost daily, so check her out.<\/p>\n

\"pi_shirt_in_box_medium.jpg\"<\/a><\/span>Today is a sad day. The Seattle Post-Intelligencer is going out of business tomorrow after almost 150 years on the beat. Once upon a time I worked at the P-I, as a music critic and as an arts reporter and arts columnist, and I’m sad to see it go. With its closing, some friends will lose their jobs. I have mixed feelings, because the P-I’s demise has allowed AJ to pick up one of the nation’s best art critics, Regina Hackett. <\/p>\n

Regina has been at the P-I since the early 80s, and in the past two years has written an entertaining blog Art to Go<\/a>, which has been something of an online classroom in how she looks at visual culture. Tomorrow (Tuesday) she re-emerges on AJ on her new blog Another Bouncing Ball<\/a>. <\/p>\n

In the next few weeks, we’ll be launching a number of other blogs as well, so stay tuned. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
