Publication: About Printed Matter
Posted July 11, 2006 Comments(0) 
From PrintedMatter.org:
Printed Matter, Inc. is the world’s largest non-profit organization dedicated to the promotion of publications made by artists. Founded as a for-profit alternative arts space in 1976 by artists and artworkers, Printed Matter reincorporated in 1978 to become the independent non-profit organization that it is today. Originally situated in Tribeca, Printed Matter moved to SoHo in 1989 where for twelve years the book displays and artists’ projects in the large storefront windows contributed to the artistic and intellectual vibrancy of the neighborhood. In 2001 Printed Matter relocated to Chelsea, where it continued to foreground the book as an alternative venue - or artistic medium - for artists’ projects and ideas. Finally, in December of 2005 Printed Matter moved into a new storefront in Chelsea with big windows and greatly increased display and exhibition space. Recognized for years as an essential voice in the increasingly diversified art world conversations and debates, Printed Matter is dedicated to the examination and interrogation of the changing role of artists’ publications in the landscape of contemporary art.

Art: Crazy rich people

I am a big fan of some of the works sold at yesterday’s auction, but I am amazed at the prices. Time to find some bargains. That is the great thing about art, you can find work just as good as the multi-million dollar pieces out there. The astronomical prices are the result of gallerists and auction houses creating niche markets, selling to those who value name and cache. So they create name and cache. The art is just the vehicle for them.

Towle had an interesting look into the mindset of the out-of-touch Chelsea gallerists at Cheim & Reid. It seems that when their artist copies something it may not be copied again. Classic.
I do happen to like the photography of Jack Pierson, but to claim you own the concept behind adding random fonts, shapes and sizes together to form a word is just crap. Make art not lawsuits is what I say.
Thanks to this Flickr photog for helping to make the point.
