Huge congrats to Richard McCoy on the opening of his exhibition Indiana by the Numbers at the IMA. More conservators should curate shows. Especially if you’re as brilliant as my colleague Richard. It’s been an extreme pleasure collaborating with him over the past 5 years.
The best place to photograph.
“Stop thinking about art works as objects, and start thinking about them as triggers for experiences. (Roy Ascott’s phrase.) That solves a lot of problems: we don’t have to argue whether photographs are art, or whether performances are art, or whether Carl Andre’s bricks or Andrew Serranos’s piss or Little Richard’s ‘Long Tall Sally’ are art, because we say, ‘Art is something that happens, a process, not a quality, and all sorts of things can make it happen.’ … [W]hat makes a work of art ‘good’ for you is not something that is already ‘inside’ it, but something that happens inside you — so the value of the work lies in the degree to which it can help you have the kind of experience that you call art.” —

I could reblog/post this every day as a constant reminder.

Amen, Eno.

NOTICE: A Flock of Signs, by Kim Beck, proliferating in 100 Acres…
Our eagle-eyed conservators spotted an ancient Roman bust in the collection that looks very much like Zach Galifianakis.

Kim Beck’s new project for 100 Acres beginning to make an appearance in the park. Stay tuned for more…
