The New York Times had an interesting article on Josiah McElheny. Last year it was announced that YU was to do something with him but precious little info has been forthcoming. BTW this is what we are talking about when we say there hasn't been clarity in programming (set a time and a date on the calendar about 6 months out, define what they will be doing and then deliver.... name dropping then no followup isn't the best way to increase confidence, or perhaps Percival's departure effected this).

It's a bit of a tired art world joke these days to farm out work to Chinese painter mills (Ai Wei Wei was there first of course) but Greg Allen had several destroyed Gerhard Richters recreated. It is interesting, though the fakes aren't too convincing.


Kink FM did this video interview with Jack Shear, the Director of the Ellsworth Kelly Foundation on the occasion of Kelley's print show at the Portland Art Museum. It is a great summer show for PAM and I did a rather involved interview with Jack and Jordan Schnitzer, which I'll be posting in the near future.
