This blog is here to help jump start the conversation for our seminar. I will ask that discussion questions and comments be posted on line by 5pm the night before class. We will also use this site to plan the newsletter that will be produced as part of the course.
While reading your link, I couldn't help but notice another to James Franco's new exhibit. He's so dreamy...lucky for him no one will actually try to make sense of what he says. Looks like 32 is the new 15.
I had already been sent the link to the Kings of Leon story. Had a good chuckle over that one.
I found this article a little weak. He holds up Marina Abramovic as the paragon of artistry when I would just as soon put her in the exposure preceding artistry category. I would agree that it is easy to put Avatar in the entertainment camp, but how do you really point to most things and say, "artistry preceded exposure or sales!" with anything other than personal opinion?

But then I was distracted by this bizarre, and just plain pathetic story:
