ArtBase

OK, so the recent developments in the marketplace in general might render some of my comments (especially the ones about art fairs and auctions) a bit out of date. I am not one of the artists who is cheering on the "death of the art market" from the relative safety of academia. The bloated, ugly, $crazy beast supported a lot of my friends, so I am kind of sad that it is shrinking at exponentially fast rates. yes, it is a bubble bursting, but come on, the bubble produced some amazing stuff.

All of the link lists on this website are synced to my del.icio.us bookmarks. They were kind enough to provide the Javascript for embedding links into webpages. This way the site grows in a natural way and people who don't want to deal with all my fluffy writing can go directly to the bookmarks. Best of both worlds. Right?

The artbeast is a constantly changing critter. So if someone tries to sell you a cohesive definition of what contemporary art is, my advice is, "Don't buy it!"
