Popaganda legend Ron English has made his way back to Austin, TX for a very special signing event during SXSW. This Saturday, March 20, the master himself will be signing limited run lithographs of his rock inspired works as well as limited edition clothing at the Billboard Bungalow in the Planet Illogica pop-up shop. 

I’ve been back in New York for the past few weeks—essentially from Fashion Week to Armory Week, with the Whitney Biennial sandwiched between—and I’ve seen so much art that I’m not sure where to begin. To make things more interesting, my camera started giving random error messages, and I haven’t had time to have it serviced, rendering void my usual tactic of posting tons of pics rather than taking the time to politely word actual opinions.

So basically I’ll hit the high points—if something stuck with me, obviously it’s significant enough…right?

Recently I've been writing weekly art news synops (something I sometimes did anyway, so hey!) for ArtWeLove.com. They're published every Monday, and you can subscribe for free via email. It's mostly institutional/market stuff with a bit of gossip, but sometimes I try to slip in underground info. This week's headlines include reviews of the Whitney Biennial, an Austrian art club that doubles as a sex club, and violent artists evictions in China.

And this is just kind of awesome--even though it's amateurish, half-baked and incendiary--wait, maybe that's why it's awesome. This School of Visual Arts student, John Xero, made a downloadable anti-catalogue of the Whitney Biennial--and since he released it even before the press preview, in a sense, he scooped the Biennial.

I could watch videos like these for hours: nice old school ball players set to beats.
