Acting like a bulletin board is fun and all, but why would this interest anyone outside our orbit. If this is ment to be a “marketing ploy” shouldn’t we start topics of discussion that might have a relevance to others; actual show reviews + dialog in the mood of art forums scene and heard, or interviews and general criticism such as a polemic on the institutionalization of the wrong gallery, or how relational aesthetics has become popular for conservative museums and galleries since it is really just boring safe stuff that is easy to control posing as subversive—with a real attempt, not just throwing out a general “how to you feel about this”--like stuff on artkrush…or not just art, but actual observastions one people, places and things like the event / date choices on the rings of the Sequoia at the Natural History Museum, why note that Columbus found a river in 1494 instead of finding the new world 1492, or about the fact that Eddie the Polar Bear has OCDs from living in Central Park and how his neighbors are two gay penguins …this should be interesting to the internal office as well. Maybe even throw out drafts of ideas and have people pick them apart. And who cares about Benjamin, Barthes etc, this is all old hat, why don’t we just post that picture of Durer’s illustration of perspective techniques and talk about the death of modernism—blah. Frankly a well crafted theroy on whether or not the island of Lost is hell or not is more interesting.

Or tell me a story like the time you were riding with John Fahey and he handed you a tape to play and on it was the sound of Fahey making a white noise hiss and then how you asked him what the fuck he was doing and he told you about the time Antonioni asked him the same question during the Zabriskie Point post-production and as a result Fahey punched him out.

This and two bucks will get you a subway ride.
