ha ha. it IS a good rant. on that subject, may i ask you-- what art publications do you consume? i asked this some time ago on the board & landed some issues of artforum, but i dont know... what's a good read, in your opinion? i gotta go, so i'll check for answers later, but living away from all civilization i need to stock the art databanks of my brain somehow. before they go broke. ![]() |

i totally understand... i felt that way for years when i moved from new jersey to atlanta (what? only ONE museum in this whole town?). now that i'm in small town florida, i wish i'd been nicer to that museum... visited it more often, let it know i cared.... as for magazines... artforum is great, pretty much all i look at in print, as far as art goes anyway. artnet online magazine is my other source when i'm jonesing for an art fix http://www.artnet.com/magazineus/frontpage.asp i like charlie finch's column, even if he is the biggest stuck-up elitist snot on the planet... it's kinda part and parcel of the ny gallery scene and sometimes it's also good for a laugh. when i first started reading his stuff he used the royal 'we' in his reviews (gag!) ...thankfully he's cut that out. i usually just extract the factual information about who's showing where, look at the pictures, and take his opinion with a very large grain of salt. as for architecture magazines (what we refer to in school as architectural pornography - "oh my god, did you see the new koolhaas library! i think i just creamed my pants!") i mostly stick with architectural review, which is a british publication - meaning they have intelligent articles and don't fill their magazine with tasteless ads for vinyl siding and rubber flooring - unlike their stateside counterparts architectural record. when i have the time to take in a theory paper, grey room is a great little publication put out by the mit press. they have essays on architecture, art, media, and politics. but unless you can get on jstor or visit the reading room of the art and architecture library at your local university you might have a hard time finding it. on a down note - hebert muschamp, the architecture critic for the new york times all through the 90s up to '04, died last week... still haven't got used to the new guy nicolai ouroussoff.

should have stayed here and just pretended you were in NYC...

The construction never stops in Vegas. It is obnoxious.
