Hey Folks:

I’ve got a feature in the February issue of ARTnews about the artsy fartsies that are happening in Bushwick.

I’m sure this will occasion some bellyaching about how articles such as these “ruin” a neighborhood. But I want you all to rest assured that I’ve done the math and no New York neighborhood is completely ruined until it is featured regularly in the New York Times real estate section (check) *AND* on the cover New York magazine (not yet). Though, if you’re wondering what said coverage would look like, check out the mag’s 1992 cover story on Williamsburg.

Anyhow, you can check out my story at ARTnews.com — or better yet, pick up the mag on the newsstand and help me pay for the wide selection of craft beers that now clutter my local C-Town. Okay, maybe not. I’m a Tecate-12-pack-at-the-Food-Dimension kind of girl…

xox,
C.

Hey Folks:

My year-end round-up of year-end round-ups is now up over at Gallerina, with trademarked Occupy Cardboard Sign ratings system.

Thanks very much for reading C-Mon in 2011. I really appreciate it. See you on the other side.

xox,
C.

Biting the hand that feeds them: Find me at ARTnews.

Hey Folks:

I’ve got a feature in this month’s ARTnews on artists making art about the art world that often serves as a stinging critique of our little corner of human civilization. Covered in the piece are rants by William Powhida, installations by Jennifer Dalton, biennial pieces about biennials and my favorite: Joe Sola’s jump-out-the-window-during-studio-visits piece.

You can read the story online. Or, better yet, pick up the mag at your nearest newsstand.

Stuff that dangles.

My slideshow of the Maurizio Cattelan exhibit at the Guggenheim is now online at WNYC.

Happy Turkeys Day + a coupla linkages.

I’ll be spending the holidays looking pensive and smoldering while waiting for the turkey to emerge for the oven — like my girlfriend Susan Sontag, above. If you’re doing the same, here are a coupla things you can read while the little butterball cooks up: my weekly picks over at Gallerina (those Sarah Braman sculptures look fierce) and four reasons to go see HIDE/SEEK at the Brooklyn Museum. Seriously, if you live in new York, get on it.

Happy Stuffing!

xox,
C.
