THE PIT

Friday is Fun Day

Inspired by a lunch-stop at Crif Dogs while out on studio visits this past Tuesday, Heather and Courtney ordered their favorite menu items for Rob Nadeau and his friends last night. I think onlookers assumed we were setting up for a hot dog eating contest. Despite some cheese sauce on my dress, the food + atmosphere + Philly Tubesteaks were awesome. NOT so awesome were the blogs advertising free booze at our opening. While we appreciate sincere exhibition listings, the "free booze" report is just tacky.

Lovely review of Nadeau's opening/exhibition Heavy Chalk.

Meditate on this

Adia Millett's Week 11 installation, part of her ongoing project entitled "Change".

what's up NEXT?

So what art fair is coming up next, you ask? The appropriately named NEXT Art Fair.

Come check out the Mixed Green's booth at the NEXT art fair to see Kimberley Hart's installation "The Chase". NEXT is an invitational exhibition of emerging art and we're excited to be participating this year!

Conflict of Interest?

I don't often get to talk much about these sorts of things on The Pit...but this is a topic that has always confused me, and Derek Fincham happened to remind me of it during his discussion of Artists Resale Rights.

Interesting post the other day over at Illicit Cultural Property blog. My question is this: In the instance in which Damien Hirst is the buyer or one of the buyers of his own work, is he also receiving the royalties on the sale? I hope someone out there can enlighten me.

A big shout out to Artlog, a new interactive website "connecting people through art." This ambitious site will soon host an online portfolio section. It already has a nifty Focus news section--helpful for those of us with only the time to skim.
