Just think of the TwitPic possibilities: Thomas Houseago’s Baby, at the Whitney Biennial. (Photo by C-M.)

Hey Folks:

The powers-that-be at the Whitney Museum are conducting a little art-meets-social-media experiment which I’m a part of. On Tuesday, March 23, the museum will organize a private tour (led by co-curator Gary Carrion-Murayari) of the Biennial in conjunction with WNYC — specifically for social media addicts.

In attendance as a special guest, will be Jeffrey Inscho, of the Mattress Factory, who helped develop the Is This Art? iPhone app!!

You can sign up over at WNYC’s website. There are eight slots available! Please join us for some informative, arty fun — which may or may not involve drinking cold beer after the tour is over.

xox,
C.

P.S. If you’re wondering what the tour’s gonna be like, here’s a short preview video. (Thank you, Douglas.)

Art Yoga. And the very many cool happenings at #CLASS.

Published by c-monster on March 6, 2010 in C-Monster, Conceptual, Galleries, New York and Sublime ridiculosity.

The Art Yoga tribute to Marina Abramovic: Yoga in lab coats. Later, we sat around and stared at each other. (Screengrab taken from the live webstream.)

There’s all kinds of goodness going down at #CLASS this weekend and in the coming week, starting today with a panel on the art world’s shade of pale, organized by An Xiao, the motivational stylings of Rod Verplanck, and through the weekend, with working sessions and a contemporary art wake. This will be followed, mid-week, by balloon-popping with Man Bartlett, a feminist tea party with Suzanne Stroeb and Caitlin Rueter, a merciless Q&A with art dealer Magda Sawon of Postmasters, and a lecture, on Friday, by Yevgeniy Fiks, on Communist Modern Artists in the Art Market.

I attended Fiks’ fascinating guerrilla tour of MoMA early this week, in which he led us through a number of the works in the permanent galleries created by communists and sympathizers. (See my Tweets from that event here.) The history nerd in me (I have a thing for Cold War-era politics) was totally loving it. You can see reports on the tour at Bloggy and jameswagner.com. Fiks’ totally wonderful Russian accent just brings it all together.

Find a full schedule of events over at the official website. And I’ll see you in #CLASS.

Bow to the Art Industry: Art Yoga with C-Mon, this Friday at 2pm.

Published by c-monster on March 3, 2010 in C-Monster, Galleries, New York, Performance art and Sublime ridiculosity.

Bend over backwards for the sake of your budding career. (Photo by gadgetgirl.)

If you are in desperate need of a yoga class and a few art gags, please join me this Friday, March 5th at 2pm at the Winkleman Gallery for the first (and probably only) session of Art Yoga With C-Mon, part of #CLASS.

Get body and mind ready to navigate the spiritual and physical hazards of working in the art industry with this 75 minute yoga class geared at those who want to re-contextualize the nature of liminal space while doing core-strengthening exercises that will keep them lithe enough to be considered for art/fashion spreads in T Magazine. We will begin with sun salutations to performance artist Marina Abramovic and do spiritual readings from the pages of ArtForum.

Jokes aside: This will be an honest-to-goodness hatha vinyasa yoga class (yoga with flow) — with plenty of artsy twists. (I am a trained yoga teacher: Om Yoga Center, 2003.) So, if you’re a starving artist type and want a FREE, fun yoga class (or you simply want to cleanse your mind and body after attending all those dirty art fairs), please come!!

Please arrive promptly at 2pm. Bring a mat and wear comfortable exercise clothes. This class is open to all levels. First come, first served.
