Recent History with Brian Khek
Hope you're hungry. Happy Friday.
Brian Khek is real cool. He's 20 and working on his BA in Art History at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Brian's half of Wave Int'l and has a really A+ Tumblr. If you're ever over at his house, ask him to make you Pad Thai. You won't be disappointed.
1. Post Internet is a writing project by Gene McHugh. He offers some interesting criticism on people and work based online.
2. Cooking with Dog. This is a great Japanese cooking show. I mostly watch it when I'm hungry.
3. This is an awesome archive of logos found in common images online. Compiled by Christophe Bruno.
4. Seth Price makes wonderful work and does a lot of writing. I've been referring to his paper, Dispersion, frequently. He offers an educated and objective perspective on contemporary conceptualism. Price's paper will be distributed at this exhibition.
5. Also check out Rafael Rozendaal's one question interview project! These super concise inquires from artists/curators/writers/critics say a lot with a little.
6. Tom Moody is a great artist and maintains a blog of .gifs and writing.
7. This is a huge platform for sharing 3D models. Lots of weapons, monsters and furniture. I could spend hours on this.
8. I bet you've never seen hamsters move like this.
9. Do you collect marbles ? They are so cool and have a huge history !
10. John Baldessari made an iPhone app! Be a Dutch Master on train or bus! If you get bored of that check out my friend Arend's project.

TOWER POWER
In this episode of Sanford and Son, Fred and Lamont visit an art museum. Unexpectedly inspired by the splendor of a modern-architecture exhibit, Fred vows to raise the aesthetic level of his own neighborhood.
You can thank Lauren Anderson for the videos as they're part of her contribution to the upcoming Permanent Collection at White Flag Projects.
Jimmie Durham
"I have the idea that there's something about visual art - that is, the intellectual part of visual art - that is away from language, and that its value is that it's away from language. It's a knowledge that is not connected to language. When I have some great experience with a work of art, something that I love, something like Monet's paintings or some really good stuff, the importance of it, what's moving to me, what changes me is the part that's knowledge away from language, that can't be explained in language, and it makes me feel suddenly free. Because, I think because, at least partly, I am suddenly free of this prison of words, the prison of language."
