Why speak, when someone says it better?

You know, lately, I suck at blogging. I used to not suck, but these days, I suck. It's a quantitive, not qualitative thing (because who online gives a good goash-darn about that?) -- I just don't post like I used to, badly or otherwise. 

In fact, I suck so much, I'm snagging a link from TPW curator Kim Simon's equally (possibly more?) negelected blog, which defers itself (lazy blogging is a multi-layered thing in this hyperlinked era) to this,  ideally repurposeable digital-era mea culpa, from Cory Arcangel:

AA Bronson at the NY Art Book Fair

 

The fine folks at ArtInfo did a quick little chat this weekwith AA Bronson at one of my favourite events, the New York Art Book Fair, that I'd like to share. The fair, of course, is the gravitational centre of the mother of all art multiples, the artist's book, as well as glossy publications, zines and anything on the printed page. Bronson is its director and, of course, the surviving member of Canadian art supergroup General Idea; as a founder of Art Metropole here in Toronto way back when, publishing is something he knows much about. Check it out.
