We marched with the GLAMericans for Peace in the February 15, 2003 anti-war march. One of the slogans we chanted was “Dior Not War!”

Apparently John Galliano heard about that, or the phrase was born independently around the world in the last year and a half.

There will be very little posting until Time Warner Cable restores my cable modem service. Dial-up is not a good thing.

I said I was going to write about a new young artist at Schroeder Romero, but James beat me to it.

… answers questions on Slashdot.

Zach from LFL mentioned a culture blog I hadn’t heard of at the Echo Eggebrecht opening tonight: Scather. Add it to your list.

Current favorites:

• David Noonan at Foxy Production – see write-up from James
• Phoebe Washburn and Simone Shubuck at LFL – another James post
• “I’ve Met Someone Else” at Monya Rowe – ditto
• Pipilotti Rist at Luhring Augustine – beautiful imagery and soundtrack
• Echo Eggebrecht at Sixty Seven – new Chelsea location! I plan to write more about her show later.

James has more info.

I’ve written about Eric Doeringer several times, and even appeared on a radio show talking about him.

Here is his latest project:

I’m seeking submissions of artwork, music, video, fiction, poetry, and games inspired by Matthew Barney’s Cremaster Cycle for inclusion on a new web-based project. Please send jpegs, mp3s, text files, etc. to cremasterweb@yahoo.com.

Go send him some stuff if you’ve got it.

We have found ourselves in Williamsburg several times over the last month. My current picks for favorite shows there:

• Beth Bridea & Tucker Nichols at SOUTHFIRST – Tucker is also in the current show at The Drawing Center
• Janice Caswell at Schroeder Romero – beautiful use of pins, wall painting, and other media. I had seen her works on paper before, but they hadn’t made me realize what she is capable of in a whole room installation.
• No Return at Momenta – a number of good works that come together as a brilliant group show.

I am expecting some images from Schroeder Romero of a young artist who has a solo show coming up. I will write about that later.
