The Scrolling Experience and “The Fold”
graphpaper.com (Free subscription) | 07/30/2008
Newstand by Berenice Abbott, 1935 In print design, the expression “above the fold” dates from an era where broadsheet newspapers were folded in half and piled up in stacks in front of newsstands, showing only the upper-half of the front page to potential customers.

TEN THOUSAND YEARS OF ERROR
Meta Watershed (Free subscription) | 04/17/2008
(Waves, by Berenice Abbott, 1958-1960) This post is dedicated to the artesian well which was La Chola. In the mid to late 1980s, I participated in a series of national workshops for a group of peer counselors working on reclaiming Southern identity and pride.

No Land Grab (Free subscription) | 04/09/2008
Who Walk in Brooklyn If the image of the Virgin Mary appeared in the oily film of the Gowanus Canal, might true believers actually annoint themselves with holy water? What about when it's Slick Bruce Ratner? Berenice (”The Abbott”)/BZA, Photo Editor reports: To the shock of many & delight of all, yesterday afternoon an anonymous reader sent in the near-genius collage at left. I was out surfing in...

http://artforprofits.wordpress.com/ (Free subscription) | 12/17/2007
Celebrity Art Collectors - From Kylie to Madonna Having a celebrity purchase one of their artworks is a sure fire way for the value of an artist's work to skyrocket so keeping an eye on what artist's celebrities are purchasing works by is definitely worth while.

to live by the pen (long post warning)
Tightrope Walker (Free subscription) | 11/12/2007
There was a time in this world when it seemed that anyone with literary talent could make a living, if they were willing to take the risk. Louisa May Alcott supported herself and her family writing thrillers. A woman could be widowed with children, and rather than throw herself on the mercy of unpleasant relatives, she could say, "I will make my living by my pen!" -- and proceed to do so, maybe with...

Dame Laura Knight. Who knew? Probably everyone except me. I blame The Rhode Island School of Design for my deficient, male-centric, lame-ass art education and the fact I don't hardly know any 20th century woman artists, however I go to sleep a little richer having learned the name Dame laura Knight this afternoon. Two people called me today to read this essay in the London Review of Books by Terry...
