Zoe Strauss, Under I-95/ offsite

So, I've begun writing for a new blog, "Art-tistics", which is sponsored by an art-handling company called Mind's Eye (they seem like really nice people), and I just published my thoughts and some pics of Zoe Strauss' awesome under-the-interstate exhibition there:

A major exhibition, under the interstate

My thoughts on writing for them are this; because I will be writing with two other well known bloggers ( Lenny Campello and Bill Gusky) and because the company itself is based out of Boston, this ought to get some different exposure for my reviews on Philadelphia art, and as such "the Philadelphia art scene".

The design of the blog is a bit pastel for my sensibility, but it's Wordpress so all you nerds who have been hating on my blogger account can be a little happy. Plus I will also still be keeping up with One Culture, so never fear.

ZOE STRAUSS STARTS A TRUST FUND FOR YOUNG FILMMAKERS

Zoe Strauss is starting up a trust fund for young filmmakers by selling limited edition prints on her website.

The film that started it all is the Zoe Strauss documentary If You Break the Skin You Must Come in ( website here) which must be excellent because when I went to go see it the other night this many people were there:




. . .and it was all sold out so me and the Fabric Horse blogger, Mary, who also showed up, went to go see The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford instead, and all I have to say about that is this.
