FIELD NOTES

 » Night Owl & Early Bird - We have been hearing a lot about art in Austin, Texas, recently. We're actually going to feature another exhibition at this very gallery on Monday, but first we just wanted to share the cute image for their second annual fundraiser.

CINEMA

 » The Ghost Writer - Pierce Brosnan does his best Tony Blair grin in Roman Polanski's first post-extradition film, "a thriller with topical ambitions: it takes place in a jittery, bomb-fearing Britain and America, where the weary rituals of security screenings refuse to let the characters or the audience relax."
[03.09.2010 by Theon Weber]

FIELD NOTES

 » Not Knots 2010 - Think the knitting trend from the mid-00s has gone? Think again. This weekend the creatives at Cabinet magazine are turning their art space over to a new workshop on "knots, knitting, and string figures." Not only will attendees be given access to string, they'll be plied with twisted baked goods and tasty wine as well.

ART & DESIGN

[02.10.2010 by Clifton Gates]

LITERATURE

 » New Text Lions - To put it in 140 characters or less: J.D. Salinger and Howard Zinn are gone. At a time when Apple's iPad is being touted as the killer of Amazon's Kindle, which was touted as the killer of the traditional novel, who will take their place?

FIELD NOTES

 » Art Of Zines 2010 - It has been almost three decades since an influential punk magazine from Michigan closed down (hint: they gave rise to an influential Chicago label of the same name that recently folded as well). Thankfully, as a new exhibition in California proves, the love of zines is alive and well.

COLUMN

 » Glaciers of Ice: Volume 47 - Though downy stadium jackets abound, hip-hop generally takes the month of January off to enjoy chilled Cristal and regroup for the coming year. With 2009 in the can, our resident urban musicologist followed suit, but now returns to kick off this glorious new decade of beats and rhymes.

MUSIC

 » Kickstart My Art - Will fan-financed funding change the music industry? As more than a few artists have shown, thanks social-networking-styled venture capitalist schemes, both self-contained and through third party groups like the site Kickstarter, it is a real possibility.
[01.29.2010 by Lara Longo]
