song id: i9bonsai - nthn reads: 1. The State of Culture 1 by Ben Davis 2. Reprivatizing Art in The Name of Equality by Angela Nagel 3. The Rise of Immersive Art by Anna Weiner 4. Jack Goldstein and the CalArts Mafia by Richard Hertz (probably deserves a report of its own) 5. Selfies Are Not Self Expression by Rob Horning 6. Susan Sontag on photography refresher 7. DIS #artselfie archive of Instagram posts (incredible scroll esp if you're a millennial who was in the NY art world this looks like Cobrasnake now lol) 8. Against Curating by Stefan Heidenrich (my original Art Exhibitions Without Artists chapter had a few paragraphs comparing that phenomenon of #artisterasure to "The Curatorial" / 89+ as a similar process where organizers overshadow exhibitors but I figured it was too tangential. Sharing this short/fun read in case I never return to the subject) 9. International Art English by Alix Rule and David Levine (might have to do a full report on this some day)
