Back in 2015 I made a series of fonts for a show, Mediations, at Charlie James Gallery. Most of them are totally useless and poorly designed, but I’m happy to release Powhida Standard gratis and free for whatever strange and ill-conceived uses one might find for it. The font is all caps, but there are lower case and upper case characters. Feel free to download the True Type file here.
Blogging is basically dead (don’t tell Greg Allen), but podcasts are everywhere. To that end, I’ve decided to contribute to the endless stream of language with a new podcast called _Explain Me _co-hosted by ArtFCity publisher and art critic Paddy Johnson. We’re dedicating our biweekly discussions to art, politics, money, and the moral responsibilities of artists (and the ethics of the art word). Over at ArtFCity, Paddy has posted an introduction for our inaugural episode The Broken Toilet, “In this first pod, we discuss Documenta’s massive overspending and near bankruptcy, the closure of Bruce High Quality Foundation University, and a new development along the 7 line describing itself as New York’s best installation. We also talk about a few shows we’ve seen recently in Chelsea…" The podcast is also available on iTunes and keep an eye our for our next episode. We’re hoping to have some surprise guest callers!
New Print Edition Available I made this series of unique multiples last fall for Art for Artists editions, an art trade project organized by the artist duo Ghost of a Dream. When I scanned the drawings the blue line work and shadows on the paper were blown out by the cheap affordable Kinko’s machine, so I’ve created a digital version of the works that I am currently printing as a suite of 12 archival inkjet prints. The edition will be available later this summer, but these images are freely available fore reflection on the question, “What is Art?” Update: The suite of prints of the series, What is Art? is now available through Platform Gallery. The suite includes the entire series of 12 11" x 14" archival inkjet prints on Duo Matte 80 bright white paper in an archival folio for $800 plus $25 for flat rate shipping in the US. All of the prints are numbered with the suite edition number, signed, and dated. The edition size is limited to 20 and two artist proofs.
