        As I understood this is the program and code that makes our internet pages (and blogs) to tell eachother that there are updates - a

      • the turner prize
        12/07/05
        The difference between Europe and America is rather large, I know that much, and that some artist that they "over there" find essential might in my view be provinsial or boring. But without being arrrogant, I thought that Simon Starling, the winne of this years Turner Prize, was at least a

      • more chess pieces

        As suprise player of the Word Chess Cup 2005 played 0,5-0,5 against Bareev I found some more pieces of art-chess here in germany (surrealist related of course):

        12/06/05
        I came over the excellent blog Grammar.police as I was doing my blog-blog for the Norwegian art critic journal Kunstkritikk.no. It is run by Kriston Capp, who is now writing a blog for Smithsonian American Art Museum named Eye Level.

        12/02/05
        one thing is of course that artforum.com does not have the highest standards when it comes to conflict of interest, another thing as well it is that I find a perverse interest in reading artforum.com's diary (called Scene & Herd) - and third thing is that I do have friends writing for them.

      • about subjectivity and google hitrate
        12/02/05
        I guess I am not single-minded. I guess that is good. I guess that is less good for my google hit rate. Not that I care. This site is not meant to become a popular blog, or at least I am doing no effort to make it more attractive or easier to reach. I guess that means it is a non-commercial blog? I
