Matt Carey-Williams International Director, Haunch of Venison, London IBID Projects is located on Hoxton Square, and stands in the shadow of the much larger gallery there, White Cube 2 – sometimes interesting things take place in the shadows. The space is deliberately unfinished and this physical rawness allows for an interesting dialogue between space and object which heightens our experience of their exhibitions. This was certainly the case when they exhibited Jamie Shovlin's Jesus Rinzoli's Hiker Meat installation in February 2011. As I walked through the darkened rooms, lit only by the glare of television screens depicting individual scenes from Shovlin's imaginary slasher movie, Hiker Meat, it felt like walking through a secret intelligence services bunker rather than an art gallery. I also really enjoy IBID Project's painters and I am a big fan of the work of Christopher Orr and Anj Smith – both figurative artists that embrace a darker take on the world.

Courtauld Galleries Permanent Collection. The Real and the Virtual Art Museum. Screenshot of Google Art Project featuring Vincent Van Gogh's The Starry Night So much of the press and discussion around the Google Art Project has focused on comparing the experience of the virtual gallery with the real, in-person experience. The question seems to be, will the Google Art Project replace or somehow despoil the experience of the museum visit? But I think this commentary overlooks an important part of the Google Art Project: the way it allows users to—in a way—remix and share their experience of so many great works of art.

At the recommendation of a colleague and fellow teacher, I began reading On Beauty and Being Just by Elaine Scarry, Walter M. Cabot Professor of Aesthetics and the General Theory of Value at Harvard. The book begins with a few sentences that reminded me immediately of this aspect of the Google Art Project, and of our remix culture generally: Wittgenstein says that when the eye sees something beautiful, the hand wants to draw it. James McNeill Whistler. Virtual tour | Visiting | National Gallery, London. Why Virtual Galleries Could Help Shape a Different Future for Artists | Artsy Shark. By Chris Davies Virtual art galleries may be an emerging concept for many, but there are several good reasons why these could provide an exciting new avenue for artists working in all mediums.

Ever-advancing technologies, combined with radical changes in consumer trends and how art collections are curated, could all point the way towards an exciting digital future for creatives. But what are these changes, and how can artists get involved? What is a Virtual Art Gallery? A virtual art gallery is more than just a website featuring images of artists’ work. Examples include: New York’s New Museum This innovative gallery has been commissioning artists specifically for its New Art Online series for the past few years. This latter project involved turning the museum’s collection of sculptures into interactive 3D scans that can be viewed, appreciated and downloaded by anyone, regardless of where they are in the world.

By Maria Popova From cave paintings to the internet, or how art and cultural ideology shape one another.

On the heels of yesterday’s 100 Ideas That Changed Photography comes 100 Ideas That Changed Art (public library) — a succinct account of the most influential developments in the history of art, from cave paintings to the internet, compiled by art historian and broadcaster Michael Bird. From conceptual innovations like negative space (#98), color codes (#33), and street art (#94) to landmarks of communication like making books (#21), propaganda (#12), and handwriting (#24) to ideological developments like “less is more” (#30), protest (#79), and the body as surface (#9), each idea is contextualized in a 500-word essay with key visual examples.

Bird writes in the introduction: What does it mean to ‘change art’? Polykleitos was credited with 'the idea that statues should stand firmly on one leg only.'
