More regular posting, I think, will renew next week. In the meantime…
The Walker Art Center's blog, Off Center, asked Modern Art Notes’ Tyler Green to list his top ten art blogs [scroll down a little]. I wasn’t familiar with many of them, so I’m happy to have added them to my morning routine. In particular AFC (sorry, but I agree with Green– like Bookslut, I will avoid saying the actual [lame] name of this blog as much as I can), Alec Soth, and Edward Winkleman have become routine stops for me now. Not on Green’s list, but still new to me, is CultreGrrl, who joins Green as a new arts blog at the ArtsJournal mega-site. That too has become regular reading. I’ll be adding all of them to the blogroll shortly.
Alec Soth in particular is quite interesting right now. Apparently a month ago he did a post about Robert Polidori, Chris Jordan, and other art photographers (as opposed to photojournalists) who have used post-Katrina New Orleans as their subject. Polidori, found guilty of self-googling, commented on the post thirty days later, reacting to some of the criticisms. The comment has sparked a rash of commentary from Soth and his readers—some in that gossipy harshing that only the internet can provide, some a little more thoughtful. Have a read.
