If you’re like me and you have not bothered to go check out the New Museum yet, let me tell you it’s ok. I made it there this weekend, and let’s just say this grimy dollar bill is not worth the admission to go see “un-monumental”. Wait, maybe I am wrong? Maybe it’s that the name reflects the art so well that you find yourself saying, “you got to be kidding me.” The only thing it has going for itself is the observation deck on the 7th floor. I guess plans for the balcony restaurant must have been nixed. I was very surprised at the amount of space actually dedicated to the art, at least for this show that’s a good thing.

Oh and the really interesting thing is you can get a “artist membership” that cuts the members fee in half. All you need is a website that says you’re an artist.

According to Wikipedia,
“An addventure is a type of online interactive fiction that combines aspects of round-robin stories and Choose Your Own Adventure-style tales. Like a round-robin story, an addventure is a form of collaborative fiction in which many authors contribute to a story, each writing discrete segments. However, like a gamebook, the resulting narrative is non-linear, allowing authors to branch out in different directions after each segment of the story. The result is a continually growing work of hypertext fiction.”
Protagonize is an online creative writing community dedicated to just this.

If you saw evil dead, evil dead 2, army of darkness,….and 91 other things he has been in, Then you will love “My name is Bruce”. Bruce Campbell, plays himself, I find this probably was not too hard. Here’s the breakdown…..

“My Name Is Bruce is the tale of a small town set upon by demons after a group of teen-agers unwittingly unleash an ancient curse. Campbell, playing himself, is kidnapped off the set of a B horror movie and, despite his protestations that he’s just an actor, is forced to play the role of his heroic movie character in order to save the town.” Originally scheduled for a 07 release, it looks like 08 will be his year.

The quilted one, Caroline Hwang, gets all snugly at Giant Robot San Francisco tomorrow night for her new show Salvage.
“Hwang’s latest work integrates the craft aesthetic of quilting and sewing with nautical themes such as color-block flags. As the title implies, Salvage is about searching for something lost and preventing further loss in adverse circumstance: picking up the pieces–glimmers of hope, pieces of oneself–and starting anew.”

Opening in the main gallery of Jonathan Levine to the public tomorrow is Jonathan Viner’s (Weiner?) new show, Target Practice. Oil on canvas in blue light always goes a long way.

That is some goodness.
