These are both interesting blogs, and I do like them both.... BUT...
Artworld Salon's Ian Charles Stewart on the ArtReview blog - "my view is that the MySpace product looks amateurish, functions poorly and may be rejected by the MySpace community for invading their space under false pretences."
Artworld Salon's Marc Spiegler on the ArtReview blog - "I’m not a MySpacer, but I’d hazard a guess that at this point they are pretty used to people hijacking their “community” for commercial purposes."
Yikes, it looks like the Artworld Salon guys don't exactly know what they are talking about. Isn't that called.. gossip? Not a good sign for a blog that only allows comments from fellow approved "experts" and claims not to be a place for gossip.
So, what does ArtReview on myspace talk about? Um, pretty much just art. Anybody, or at least anybody who has a myspace account, can comment on the ArtReview myspace blog.
So.. due to an unseemly combination of ignorance, hypocrisy, and pretension... THE WINNER IS ARTREVIEW ON MYSPACE!!!
on notice.

doug - are you doug of doug and chucky fame?
hi barnaby - i'm applying for some of the space programs again.. i would like to come to nyc for a while, be able to spend time at museums... i can't afford to just move to ny without a job or something to come to though... i have no savings, i wouldn't last two weeks. i've been on the nyfa site a lot lately looking for jobs.
but, i'm hoping to come for a short visit soon, see some shows...
Yes.
You have pluck, you will get what you need, the point is that you should come over.
Martin, try to sell some works to the rich Russians, take part in Moscow or Istanbul biennale, or do some nice art teaching ;-) like me. But I really doubt, that New York would be a solution. If I would live in America, I would give Mexiko a try, must be an amazing country for an artist, really, think about the mountains, the deserts, the temperament, the beaches, the soul, the energy. (Do not think that I sold any works to rich Russians by now, but it is my hope...)
