A bit ago, there was mention of Damien Hirst not exactly following directions resulting in the need to replace the shark in “The Physical Impossibility of Death in the Mind of Someone Living”. On the Time’s website there’s a video of the removal of the shark, which is somewhat fascinating. In fact, there are quite a few videos on the site which offer some interesting illustrations to recent articles.

If you haven’t seen this site it’s fun for bashing and bolstering in glorious anonymity the work of those who actually get to show their work. Wouldn’t it be great to have something like that here? I love how it’s just the work, no comments or criticism by the bloggers on the front page and then havoc in the comments.

And you may not know about this but you should. The Irving Sandler Artists File is a registry that is open to the public and free of charge. Go to this link to begin uploading.

And if you’re looking to get out of town, November 1 is the deadline for the Roswell Artists in Residence program. One of the few that make accommodations for family, through stipend and living space, it’s an excellent opportunity to get some work done. Just leave the dog at home.
