Contemporary art scene, China style

Field Guide

On Monday several education department staff members leave on an excursion to accompany 15 Walker Art Center tour guides for 10 days exploring the art scene in Beijing and Shanghai. Why China? Some of the motivation for our trip emerged in the wake of the Walker exhibition House of Oracles: A Huang Yong Ping Retrospective, a show that examined the body of work of one of the most active and thought…

SUNN O)))

Centerpoints

As Diana in Performing Arts can attest, due to my periodic and nerdy nagging, I am really excited about the upcoming Sunn/Boris show at the Walker. Whether you will like it or not, I can’t say, but it does indeed promise to be an experience the likes of which you never have had. Musically, Boris (making a rare trip to the US from Japan) is all over the map. They certainly tend towards the noisier side…

Rhizome.org

Centerpoints

People who websurf constantly and like art sites would likely like this well-established techie art site. As for me, I’m liking this Regine Debatty site. Man she’s good. The first time I came across “we-make-money-not-art” I thought that Regine had to be at least 30 or 40 people.

We need a Rirkrit Tiravanija worship site

Centerpoints

I’m way too Technorati-able to require much of a worship site. The best thing about being named “Rirkrit” is that there aren’t a whole lot of guys on the net named “Rirkrit.” So, even though Rirkrit’s not blogging his head off the way Xeni and I do, you can Google Image-search “Rirkrit” and you can witness the guy’s haircut literally zooming around on his head with the passage of the years. It’s a kind…

Parreno Worship

I reviewed a film of that Rirkrit installation, once. If you can call this screed a “film review,” that is.

Mobile Tech. Games, Artists and Museums.

Media Lab

Julian Bleecker (at the Walker previously with PDPal) gave a presentation at O’Reilly’s Emerging Technology Conference. Unfortunately the talk isn’t webcast but possibly even better is the coverage on We Make Money Not Art. The subject of pervasive gaming has been kicking around on the art/tech weblogs for quite a while, this article is a good jump start into the medium. Although the buzzword…

30 Minute Art

Field Guide

The premise is that Rachael Ray, an exceptionally bubbly “ non-trained” chef can whip up healthy, tasty meals from start to finish in “ the time it takes you to watch the show.” As I viewed the episode, commercials and all, I cooked along with Rachael and tried to live up to the 30 minute challenge, and it was definitely a challenge. The idea of improving oneself through watching a cooking show is a part…

Walker Blog Guidelines

Media Lab

A team here at the Walker recently completed a set of guidelines for blog authors to follow when posting. We adopting these guidelines for Walker staff, guest bloggers/writers/critics are still on their own. This is a loose framework that should inform what’s appropriate and what may not be for our institutional blog. Every new author we bring on board always asks “Well, what kind of stuff can I…
