THE IMPORTANCE OF ACTING EARNEST

Mitchell Inoya is a New York artist that deserves more exposure. 

Lean Back, Handmade paint on parchment, Mitchell Inoya, 2012

He represents the type of artist that is all too common these days. He is both a microcosm and a fun-house reflection of the twisted cult of calculated insincerity.

He's been on the scene, albeit on the margins, for over two decades and if you haven't yet heard of him it's not entirely his fault. He is a tireless self-promoter and a constant presence on social media.

I recently stumbled upon an old episode of Timmy Black's bizarre podcast, The Lives of Contemporary Artists where Mitch featured prominently. 

Listen and lament.

CAMERA SHY

Komal Gilboa

Komal Gilboa prefers not to be photographed. The Sri Lankan artist is known for her lyrical abstractions and believes her work should be judged on their own merits. By all accounts, Komal is quite attractive and her reticence in front of the camera has only intensified the myths surrounding her great beauty.



Komal Gilboa, Sense of Guardare, 2017


As the featured artists in Timmy Black's podcast, "Timmy Black Presents: The Lives of Contemporary Artists" Gilboa now will receive the exposure she truly merits.

Maybe now she'll let someone take her picture.

The Paper(less) Trail

Dmitry Roch. Notebook 163.2a Brooklyn

One can learn a lot about the inner workings of an artist's mind by studying their most intimate and private documents. Typically one must wait till the artist dies in order to gain access to their private papers. Fortunately for us, Dmitry Roch, one of the founding members of The Plausible Deniability Project™, has donated his vast archive to the Bibliothèque nationale de Faucon-sur-Glave.

A Crisis in Online Art Journalism

I've always been a fan of Timmy Black's bizarre art podcast, The Lives of Contemporary Artists. When I'm in my car, I listen to it on Spotify and when I'm home, I tune it in on Soundcloud or iTunes.

It sometimes makes me mad. Mr. Black is an equal opportunity offender. He often gets under my skin. But I understand his point of view and until now I always felt that his was a legitimate form of reportage.

Now, after this leaked episode was smuggled out of his recording studio and has made its way through the viral channels of social media, I'm feeling rather differently!

I'm asking my readers to do their part and share this odious example of nihilistic hubris. Timmy Black must be exposed!!!

AN INVITATION TO BINGE

LOS ANGELES: THE NEW ATHENS OF THE ART WORLD

Strange new things are happening in L.A.

Blue Figure #8, Timmy Black 2017

A place largely known for Entertainment, Los Angeles has recently begun to make its mark in the art world as well. Consistent with the region's eclectic character, multimedia artist Timmy Black has combined the Hollywood tradition with the antics of the avant-garde.

In the space of less than a year, his podcast, Timmy Black Presents: The Lives of Contemporary Artists, has pretty much eclipsed most of the other arts related broadcasts available online. It's to Mr. Black's credit that he doesn't take himself too seriously. The fatal flaw of programatic narration is the preachy advocacy of spurious assertions. The crowded field of critics and art evangelists typically treat their subject with humorless pedantry. 

Timmy treats art as if we were still in Zurich in 1916.

Now, near his 50th broadcast, he has recently re-released on Spotify his archive of recordings. Starting from Episode #1, you can enjoy the progress of his unpredictable anecdotes 

If you have yet to discover this small treasure of irreverence, here's your chance.
