21 hours ago ago from legit store review
All of his life, the Montreal-based Armenian-Canadian had heard stories of his ancestors’ homeland, stories of rapturous beauty, stories of unspeakable suffering. Now, at the midpoint of his life, he felt inescapably drawn to see that homeland for himself, to find his roots in Armenia. Among the many things revealed to him, among the many discoveries, was the richness and diversity of Armenia’s art. He had gone to Armenia on one mission; he ...

I got an email from my friend, the local artist Lee Monts, this morning, telling me he had heard that the article I wrote about him for Lake Murray Magazine was out. You have to know the back story on how I'm still waiting on some of my articles on local artists to show up in local print to realize how satisfying it is for me to actually hold the product of my local labors in my local hands. To be honest, I haven't really physically ...

I might end my self-imposed moratorium on buying more books. I finished Michael Dirda’s Book by Book and wanting to underline, fold corners, and circle the books I want to get around to reading someday, but the library wouldn’t appreciate my commentary, I’m sure.

Not the college dorm-inspired McKibbin lofts . (SO mid-'00s). Instead artsy hipster types are peeping an unmarked 6,500-square-foot warehouse with ...

23 hours ago ago from Luxist
The action in Tribeca on Saturday night gave me a bit more proof that the art market is looking for a bounce. I attended an art show held by local artist Ben Krell and Lindsey Nobel, who came in from Los Angeles, and the action was palpable. At last count, six pieces sold at the event, and there were many serious buyers with an eye to add emerging artists to their collections again. Krell and Nobel have vastly different styles, but the ...

The most significant cultural development of the first decade of the 21st century was...iTunes. Or the Kindle. Or YouTube. Or blogging. Or Amazon's customer reviews. Take your pick -- but whatever you choose, don't make it a work of creative art. Yes, important art continued to be created in the new millennium, but the big culture-related news of the Decade Without a Name is that it will likely be remembered less for its art than for ...
