it’s a bummer that the art world won’t engage in any conversations that aren’t about “identity.” the backlash to dean kissick’s essay just proves his point

Why Does Hotel Art Look Like That? | Defector
I recently stayed at a blandly business-oriented hotel in San Jose in order to celebrate my birthday, drink a tall boy, and watch the Sharks lose. You know this type of hotel. There were white duvet c...

The complex of ideas I’m going to call the Dark Internet Forest emerges from mostly insidery tech thinking, but from multiple directions.

last month for my newsletter i wrote a review of the gwangju biennale that praised its orientation toward the future, which makes it stand out among biennials that rummage through the past.
