Curatorial Competence: How The Internet is Changing The Way Fine Art is Bought and Sold | Wired Design
Five years ago yesterday, Jen Bekman founded 20×200 on the belief that everyone should be able to collect art, and that the internet could help them do so. While neither the oldest nor the biggest place to buy prints online ( art.com has been peddling prints for over a decade), her curated site, along with several other upstarts, represent a rapidly changing attitude and approach towards how art is marketed, bought and sold, a domain that Bekman says has lagged behind in its adoption of online retailing. “Art as a business category remains one of the few industries that has largely been undisrupted by technology,” says Bekman. “Now, a lot more people are comfortable both collecting art in general and also collecting art online, because of what we’ve done over the last several years.”
En su clásico Lenguaje y silencio , George Steiner dejó escrito que en el terreno amoroso “ las cosas fundamentalmente han sido iguales desde que el hombre por primera vez conoció a la cabra y a la mujer” . Siendo uno de los intelectuales más destacados del siglo XX probablemente tendrá razón en lo esencial de tal afirmación… pero creo que le faltan unos cuantos animales a la lista, tal como veremos en los abundantes ejemplos que la mitología, la literatura y el cine nos ha regalado sobre el amor a los animales. Por mi origen vasco la zoofilia o bestialismo nunca me ha resultado algo ajeno, dada la secular carencia de hembras predispuestas para la coyunda que padece esta tribu y su abundancia, en cambio, de vacas y ovejas. Pero en líneas generales está claro que para el conjunto de la humanidad también ha sido siempre una opción. Solo falta precisar a qué clase de relación nos estamos refiriendo cuando hablamos de bestialismo y entre quiénes tiene lugar.
El bestialismo y sus monstruosos engendros
Estrujenbank´s Biografía Comentada
1986 - Patricia y Juan se instalan en Nueva York durante tres años. Al poco de llegar conocen a Dionisio Cañas. Dionisio les propone escribir un artículo sobre su obra y la tremenda discusión que provoca el texto los convierte en inseparables. En los meses siguientes se iría fraguando la idea de Estrujenbank (Juan y Patricia diseñan el logotipo de Estrujenbank) , en los bancos de eskay rojo de un bar de la calle 14, Mac Carthy´s, convertido en su cuartel general, al son de la música irlandesa y caribeña. Patriciarealizó muchos apuntes y un cuadro grande sobre el Bar Mc Carthy`s que regaló a Dionisio.
Con el IVA desbocado, la marea de los recortes públicos barriendo las compras institucionales, un tejido de coleccionistas que nunca acabó de cuajar... por decirlo de un modo suave, el mercado del arte en España, que ha sufrido un desplome del 33% en los últimos cinco años, afronta su peor momento con escasez de defensas y ningún asomo de mejoría. La descripción de la precaria salud del paciente terminal la sirvió ayer un estudio, “el primero que se hace seriamente”, encargado por la Fundación Arte y Mecenazgo y auspiciado por La Caixa. No hay paños calientes para atenuar la situación descrita por la firmante del análisis, Clare McAndrew, fundadora y directora general de Arts Economist . Por número de operaciones, precios (muy por debajo de la media de otros países) y coleccionismo, el español es uno de los mercados más raquíticos de Europa.

The Korean art galleries that add eye-popping optical tricks to tourists' holiday snaps
By Chris Parsons PUBLISHED: 13:20 GMT, 2 July 2012 | UPDATED: 15:23 GMT, 2 July 2012 Propping up the Leaning Tower of Pisa or hanging from a cliff face are not what most most would expect when visiting the average art gallery or museum. But not content with simply looking at works of art, visitors to this bizarre museum in Busan, South Korea are able to 'interact' with the pieces thanks to mind-bending optical illusions.Art

Inside the Sketchbooks of Famous Artists
Whether you’re an artist or an aficionado of the arts, there’s no question that peering into the sketchbooks of lauded virtuosos is a valuable experience. They serve variously as illustrated diaries or catalogs of casual drawings, paintings, and musings — lending a behind-the-scenes glimpse into the inner thoughts of beloved artists. From a reprint of Frida Kahlo’s diary full of vibrant drawings and writings to the silkscreened lips of Andy Warhol’s portrait subjects to Tim Burton’s sketches, our roundup of adored artists’ sketchbooks is sure to give you some insight into the creative process. Andy Warhol. [ via ] <p style="text-align:right;color:#A8A8A8"></p>By Matt Robinson and Fatos Bytyci MITROVICA, Kosovo (Reuters) - It's a dangerous job being a municipal clerk in the Kosovan town of Mitrovica, where the Ibar river forms a natural barrier between Serbs and Albanians. Since Adrijana Hodzic began issuing the identification cards of mainly Albanian Kosovo to Serbs on the north side of the river, her deputy has been shot in the leg and hand grenades lobbed at the homes of her staff. "Sometimes I feel like we're fighting against everyone," said mother-of-two Hodzic, a Mitrovica native. ...

Pixalated Magazine Sculptures - The Yun-Woo Choi Art Pieces are Phenomenal 3D Installations
These incredible 3D sculptures by Yun-Woo Choi are remarkably made out of magazines. Upon first glance one would never assume that they are made out of paper, in fact they look like pixels. Choi's inspiration for these pieces came from three artists by the names of Tom Friedman, Anish Kapoor and Tara Donovan. This up-and-coming artist holds a Master of Fine Arts degree from the Graduate School of Hongik University in Seoul, South Korea, as well as the School of Visual Arts in New York.Language Arts

Slinkachu’s Tiny Installation Work In The Street
Slinkachu has continued to carry out his poetic, mini street installations since we last checked in with him. The British artist continues to up the ante with each new, ephemeral piece. Employing miniature figurines and various objects, the artist stages tiny dramas (often humorous, and socially aware) in site-specific public locations. Click through to see some newer images of his “Little People Project” ( previously ) and some selections from the slightly older “Inner City Snail” series. <p style="text-align:right;color:#A8A8A8"></p>DALeast’s Unraveling Street Art
Chinese street artist DALeast studied sculpture at the Institute of Fine Arts and began doing art on public space at 2004 under the alias DAL. He is inspired by the way the material world revolves, how the spiritual world unfolds, life’s emotions and the infinite space around us. His massive murals resemble thousands of strands of yarn or thread that are continuously unraveling and coming together to create incredible sweeping imagery. ( via )Digital, Net & Sound Art
