art news

Talk amongst yourselves.

I'll give you a topic.

Coco Fusco is neither coco nor fusco.

Discuss.

Her website: Link

Interview with 3am Magazine: Link

Audio clips about her work on the MoMA’s website: Link

Link to recent work about women and the “war on terrorism:” Link

Stubby wikipedia article: Link

I’ve found exploring her work to be really fascinating, I love the idea that art can be so interdisciplinary.

Update: I fixed the link to her actual website, before it was going to one of her performances on the same site.

art crit paper: round-up

So, If you've ever peered in the sidebar, I'm sure you've noticed that I have an interest in politics. Although this isn't a political site in its aims, I'm going to periodically point out some articles from the news and the blogesphere. As usual with these sorts of posts, the comments provide you an opportunity to share articles you've come across.

Let the games begin!

Gottlieb has a piece at My Left Wing titled, "The Myth of America" which asks us to question some of the fundamental assumptions of our nation's typical narrative.

In the article, he quotes historian Howard Zinn who has a recent piece up on Alternet titled, "Impeachment by the People".

Alternet also has an article on my pet issue, vegetarianism, titled, "Vegetarian Is the New Prius".

Fox News, fair and balanced? You be the judge. Well aparently the managing director and chairman of Fox openly admits he tried to garner support for the Iraq war. Check out the article at ePluribus Media titled, "Murdoch Confesses To Propaganda On Iraq".

Didn't make it to the D.C. protests? Man Eegee has done some citizen journalism.

Also bloomster at the Daily Kos writes about an article, "The Twilight Zone / By the book" by Haaretz columnist Gideon Levy about checkpoints in the West Bank and Gaza Strip.
