• In advance of their retrospective at LACMA, Asco gets profiled in the New York Times. Which brings me to the following thought: If some New York City museum doesn’t pick up this show when it travels, I’m moving.
• Which also brings me to: This is a fine time to pimp the story on Chicano art I wrote for ARTnews last year. Featuring lots of Asco.
• Statements I wholeheartedly agree with: “It may be time for a moratorium on Cindy Sherman’s admittedly great and influential but overexposed film stills; they have become a reflexive curatorial tic.”
• One of the more insightful critiques of the Ryan Trecartin exhibit at PS1, by Ben Davis at ArtInfo.
• It’s baaaaaack. #workoFart, that is.
• Sotheby’s art handlers are on strike.
• In Long Beach, Calif, you can be detained for taking pictures of no aesthetic value. Apparently, taking notes and asking about opening hours could also generate a “Suspicious Activity Report.” Travel writers had better watch out. (Virtual “A” List.)
• Tom Bissell profiles the actress behind the female voice of Commander Shepard from the video game Mass Effect 3. Listen to audio here — it’s worth it. (Subscription required for the story, but not the audio.)
• The brain and decision fatigue. Which brings to mind Sheena Iyengar’s terrific TED talk on choice.
• The urban planning behind Burning Man.
• Japanese graphic design from the 20s and 30s.
• A segment by Studio 360 covers Libyan culture and the revolution. Worth it for the hip-hop tracks.
