I don’t mean to pick on one writer or on one blog, but here’s a good example of why I’m enjoying the Super Bowl-wager back-and-forth between the Indianapolis Museum of Art and the New Orleans Museum of Art: Yesterday the big sports blog site SB Nation ran a post on it here: “I’m as surprised Indianapolis has an art museum as you are,” SBN editor Holly Anderson snarked.

One of my most valued books is a tiny little tome that Jerry Saltz edited for Frieze over a decade ago. Smartly titled, “An Ideal Syllabus,” it features artists, curators and critics picking their favorite or most-valued books. Earlier this month I asked some artists to essentially re-create the exercise for MAN.

The other night, I went to a much-hyped performance by Vancouver-based artist Gareth Moore at the Power Plant. Moore's part of that priveleged cabal of next-generation Vancouver conceptualists represented almost exclusively, it seems, by Catriona Jeffries , whose stable includes international art stars like Brian Jungen and Geoffrey Farmer , among others

Just before MOCA hired New York art dealer Jeffrey Deitch to be its next director, I published two posts on two works of art on view in Washington: Byron Kim’s Synecdoche at the National Gallery of Art and Yinka Shonibare’s Double Dutch at the National Museum of African Art.
