Art at Web Speed – New Artist – Tech Wiz Collaborations

Michael Nagle for The New York Times

David Karp, left, and Ryan Trecartin discuss their project at the Seven on Seven presentation at the New Museum on Saturday.

Randy Kennedy has written an article entitled “Art Made at the Speed of the Internet: Don’t Say ‘Geek’; Say ‘Collaborator’” for the Art & Design section of The New York Times (online) looking at the New Museum program fostering collaborations between and artists and, well, tech wizzes, such as WordPress’s own Matt Mullenweg (not a pseudonym, by the way).  The results are diverse, but always interesting.

Leaning. Continuously. A Continuous Lean, in other words

We thought that you might enjoy taking a look at a blog called A Continuous Lean.  To quote:  “A Continuous Lean is about things. American things, good looking things, well designed things and all sorts of other things. Sometimes A Continuous Lean even talks about people and ideas. That’s it, keep it simple. More good, less bad.”   We don’t suppose that there’s a need to say more.

Wow. That took much longer than we expected.

Have you missed us?  We certainly missed you, and your thoughtful, brilliant, and polite, yes, comments and emails.  Of course.  But now our world tour has come to an end, and we’re back home here in lovely Paris feeling quite refreshed and, well, ready to buckle down and have some fun.

However, before we do we’d like to ask you a question, if we may.  What do you think of advertising?  More precisely, what do you think of ads in blogs?  Yes, of course, you can see where we’re going with this.  Nevertheless, we’d like very much to hear from you on the subject, generally, and more specifically, we’d like to know if there are advertisers that you would like to see here, cosily ensconced, and if there are other advertisers that you would definitely NOT like to see here, even uncomfortably ensconced.  We can’t promise that we’ll be in a position to please everyone, but we assure you that we will try our very best.  And, by the way, if you’d like to have your ad here, let us know; we’d be interested in hearing from you.

Other Criteria: Damien Hirst, Hugh Allan, Frank Dunphy, Jason Beard

You are, most probably, aware of “Other Criteria”:  blog, website, and 3 shops (2 in the UK, one in NYC).  However, on the off chance that you’re not:

“Other Criteria was founded as a publishing company in 2005 by Damien Hirst, Hugh Allan and Frank Dunphy, with creative directorship from Jason Beard. Based in Marylebone, London, we work directly with Damien Hirst and a number of established and emerging artists to make limited editions and multiples, t-shirts, jewellery, photographs, posters, prints and books. The eclectic nature of our company means we make a wide range of desirable items of great quality and originality. We source artisans, printers and fabricators worldwide. Other Criteria is the only company of its kind in the UK.

Many of our publications have won international awards for their design and have included essays and interviews by Hans Ulrich Obrist, Gordon Burn, J.G. Ballard, Michael Bracewell, Rudi Fuchs, Neal Brown, Jeremy Miller, AA Gill and New York art critic, Bruce Ferguson.

The company has grown organically since its inception and is now an eleven strong team of designers, production managers and assistants. All merchandise is available for sale through our website, and at our newly opened shops at 36 New Bond Street, and 14 Hinde Street, London.”  (from the “Other Criteria” blog, ndlr: if the images don’t open click on the image icon…)

Retail Website: Other Criteria

We are not, of course, suggesting that you purchase anything, online or otherwise, and are not endorsing the aesthetic nor the pricing.  We find, however, this to be an interesting example (despite what we feel are a few design inconviences) of art/commerce with its own particular, shall we say, twist…
