... Art Bloggers and People who Keep in Touch ...

(a few of the 175,000 new blogs started every day worldwide)

www.kittyspit.net By Erik
But it is not a blog. Instead it is a well annotated and informed list of art-specific blogs, and pages on getting exposure for your web-based art (for which see [here]). This is a good starting point.

www.houndstooth.blogspot.com By Jason.
Really good, easy to read, captivating, "Self-reflective Musings about Art in Chicago and Wherever Else I Find It"

www.freshpaint.blogspot.com by Cynthia
Often political, otherwise: "A blog about painting, printmaking, writing, sweaters, and anything else I can think up"

www.artletter.com/html/current.html by Paul Klein
Former owner of Klein Art Work, continues comments on the Chicago art scene, "I've heard ... that my aesthetic and input are missed."

artoridiocy.blogspot.com by The Artist Extraordinaire
Local reviews, food, top ten, dogs, music, local, NYC.

www.foldingchair.org/ by Rowley
Brief art comments, "Posting will be extremely light the next few weeks. I'll be working on papers for the end of the semester."

www.iconoduel.org/main/ by Dan
High end and literate, not untypical: "Reviews of art fairs tend toward the scattershot. By nature too large and unfocused to be amenable to easy summary, fairs invariably lend themselves to unfocused lists that lose the forest for the trees on the one hand or impossibly general blanket assessments leveled against often incommensurable variety on the other."

Chicago-centric comments on performance art .. "performance, installation and interviews, Performance Art plumbing, bridge burning, and commentary."

notifbutwhen.com/2/ by Brian Ulrich
"Featuring as much writing as photography," someone commented. And I should add, as much political insight, commercial practice, and local art comments.

The New Modernist by Edward Lifson
Sound opinions on archtecture, public sculpture. As he says, "All the arts going on around town. Slight emphasis on architecture."
