ArtInfo does Whitney Biennial pre-press Proper

This is the way I like my E-reportage: straight, link-rich, and ordered so well that I can understand it at a glance. ArtInfo, with reporting from reporters Goldstein, Villas, and Russeth, do it nicely. (I’m guessing with a lot of help for the Museum’s super on-the-ball press agent, Stephen Soba.)

Where is this gallery? Guess right, and I might show you there. For real.

OK, so the f-ing misspelling below practically gives it away. Still, take the poll. Let yourself feel superior for a minute. Then ask yourself if I’m not totally on base here. Results to come!

Process Notes: you fold the paper in half…

A recent drawing by Daniel Davidson. Check out the symmetry. How does he do it? Draws on one half of a piece of paper. Wets it, folds it over, and burnishes the other half. Voila.
