Amalia Ulman

I don't have an Instagram account or follow anything on Instagram, so I just learned of Amalia Ulman and her long-term "Excellences and Perfections" project (for some reason referred to as a "hoax," as if pretty much ALL social media isn't a projected identity). But a number of museums, including the Tate Modern, are showing it for non-Insta-folks like me.

What are you doing Thursday evenings?

Or in our case, Thursday afternoons?

The Tate will be live streaming (should that be one word, o Millennials?) performances from the museum on Thursdays from November 19 - December 10.

You can also see archived performances from past years of the series.

Thanks to Lynn for sending this to me!

The smell of art?

I've said many times that art is about looking, and that we have to spend more time looking at art. An upcoming show at the Tate is going to challenge this idea. Not the idea that we need to spend more time looking, but that art is about looking in isolation. It turns out that more senses may be involved.

Let's roam the Tate with a flashlight tonight

Or, at the very least, watch while robots do.
