One of my favorite songwriters Mary Gauthier - “Mercy Now’ “I drink”is playing 8 minutes from my house Sunday at 7;30.i saw her in Boston and Houston and had a group of friends in those cities that share my love of her songs. Maybe someone near Chatham will be excited to go to

Two things that bring joy, learning new things and impeaching would be dictators

I like the truism at 5 years you get your marbles back, at 10 you get to play with them, at 15 you get to show others how to play with them and at twenty you find out there was never a correct way to play with them

I now have an official snow watching seat with a close view of the bird feeders to make these long upstate winters meditatively wondrous

Updating my art writer resume but with 45 years of writing ion art and artists even updating the CV exhausted me

anyone noticed that younger gay figurative artists are all avoiding using “gay” or “queer” in their statements and press releases in what i assume is a strategy to avoid collapsing under the market dominance of Langberg and Fratino?

I’m always shocked, though, by how many younger visitors haven’t seen Paschke’s work—I end up pulling out my phone to show them images so they can grasp the ontology of her appropriation strategy. On view through November 23 in “Seeking Complexity.”

When she called to tell me she was living in Brooklyn and reinventing herself as a painter, I was intrigued. Her painterly mash-ups of Ed Paschke and Betty Parsons are witty, perverse, and exhilarating to the eye.

Deborah Bright is best known as an art historian, queer theory writer, and teacher—she actually hired me for my first teaching job at RISD in the mid-90s. Her book The Passionate Camera: Photography and Bodies of Desire is a classic.

when I was growing up culturally music movements defined the passage of time, I started with a Donovan obsession and this list ends with Belle and Sebastian and their ilk. While there is still new music I care about like Orville Peck and St Vincent I can’t think of movements after the early 2000

I realize this isn't breaking news but it's insane that voting has begun and Chuck Schumer — leader of the Democratic party — is straight-up refusing to endorse the Democratic nominee for mayor, whose opponent is an alleged serial sexual abuser funded by Trump-allied billionaires
