Slipping on a Peel

As you may know, my reviews consist of two elements - the text and the header image.

Facebook, Twitter & YouTube


This year, there will be a few MAJOR improvements to TTP. I'm introducing a few things that have NEVER been done before that will change the way you see and experience the galleries.

Collection Research

I'm working on a number of improvements to the website for the Fall. This weekend I'm finalizing a lot of text that will be added to the "collecting" section. I want to dispel a lot of the mystery and fear for someone buying their first piece of art - so what better way than to recount each of my purchase experiences in detail from the first time I saw an artist's work until I took the piece home - and what I learned along the way.

New review archive thumbnail mouse-overs

Check out the new review archive thumbnail images (click here to go to the Chelsea Review tab - look at those small images on the right... you may need to refresh the page the first time if it looks a little screwy - it should look like the images below).

Until now, when you mouse-ed over one of those images, you would see a small pop-up window with information about that archived review.  The problem was that it covered some other text and was a little glitchy (it wouldn't turn off when you took the mouse off).

First Flight

I'm currently working on a "movie trailer" style video for my new website (yet to be announced) which requires me to learn some "movie trailer" effects.  I just watched a great YouTube tutorial by "Final Cut King" (watch it here).  Creating these titles FEELS like a flight simulator, so it's not surprising that the result looks like someone trying to fly a plane for the first time.  Much practice lies ahead.

Two Reviews. Two Microphones.

I'm writing two reviews simultaneously - one for "Chelsea" and one for "The Lower East Side". Both are challenging. The review for Bjarne Melgaard at Greene Naftali deals with the similarities between offensive comedy and offensive art - the usefulness and dangers of both. And if that wasn't difficult enough, the Sarah Braman review explores the "all or nothing" principle of belief systems (in general and within the art world).

Portable Photography Studio

I've been borrowing or buying a few of the images that are used in the headers, blog posts or review titles.  As time allows, I want to start taking and creating every image on TTP.   This is my temporary set-up.  Pictured is the "burrito photo shoot" in progress... see the results in my current review.
