Being an artist involves so many activities, I’ve fallen behind on seeing art. But there’s lots out there to be excited about!

I don’t think female artists of color have enough visibility; this is a lovely move in a good direction.

Vacuum/plenum (the Cotard delusion, invisibility, and other gravities), by Seldon Yuan
I came across this NYC artist when I received a rejection letter and he was listed as one of the winners. But when I viewed his site, and this project in particular, the selection committee’s wisdom became apparent to me. The sting of rejection is a mitigated by intrigue of this work. I wish this project was my own. It’s brilliant.

Personal Goal Setting Advice for Artists
Love this Personal Goal Setting advice from Creative Capital’s Internet for Artists Handbook. I came across this a while ago but keep recommending it to folks. Really useful!
(I just noticed it’s written by Blithe Riley, an artist involved in interesting, radical visual art programming at Interference Archive in Gowanus in Brooklyn. Coming up this week: neat programming around Asian American struggle.)
