Martha Buskirk: The Contingent Object of Contemporary Art
Put on those walking shoes. New York is being deluged with contemporary art fairs next weekend. Here's a list with schedules and locations. (I am particularly looking forward to Pulse and LA Art.)
Self-proclamation: "World's leading art fair"
Self-proclamation: "A genuine statement on contemporary art"
Self-proclamation: "Scope’s fresh information gives a view of the contemporary art world that is not available anywhere else."
Self-proclamation: "A unique alternative to a contemporary art fair"
Los Angeles galleries have teamed up to add a West Coast flavor to this art fair season. (Saves me a much over-due trip to LA!) Intriguing article in LA Weekly about this inaugural show. 16 Los Angeles galleries exhibiting.
Self-proclamation: "Promises to be a valuable addition to the art market"
If you're still hunkering for more art after all of that, many galleries in Chelsea are staying open late through the weekend and will be open during the day on Sunday. Best thing to do if you know you want to pop in to one or two is to call the gallery before you go.
Side Note: There are two major home and design trade shows in New York this weekend, too. So after you've bought some new art for your home you may want to swing by one of these shows to pick up some groovy new furniture to go with that art. Architectural Digest Home Design Show at Pier 94 (right next to the Armory) and the New York Design Fair at 67th and Park.
Keeping track of who, what, when, and where in the world of contemporary art can be tricky and sometimes overwhelming. Here are a few free email services to which I subscribe to keep abreast of openings and shows:
artupdate
Twice a month emails listing worldwide art openings. Pro: Their website; Con: Currently more UK/Europe focused. (NB: check out the very cool and downloadable maps of New York and London updated every two months. Includes location of art fairs. Great tool if you are planning a visit to one of these cities.)
Weekly email list of "filtered cultural stimuli", which means the highlights and only the highlights. (The list includes events in art, music, film, theater, reading, multi-media, and more...) Target cities: NY, San Francisco, Chicago, London, Los Angeles. Pro: Each listing includes a brief write-up and all of the pertinent info - date, time, location, and links; Con: Too few art listings.
A blog about the New York contemporary art scene delivered to your email box. This list of openings is generated by one man, Douglas Kelley, and appears about once a month. The emails often contain his personal reviews of shows or goings-on in the art world. Pro: Thorough; Con: Not always accurate so check before you go. (NB: To get on the DKS email list you need to send an email to dks@thing.net with 'YES' in the Subject line.)
A daily, and sometimes more than once a day, email generated by a "New York-based information bureau dedicated to world wide distribution of information for contemporary visual arts institutions via the Internet." Most emails announce museum shows. Pro: Interesting global view; Con: Frequency of emails.
Ed Burtynsky's wish was that his "artwork could persuade millions of people to join a global conversation about sustainability." Rather than reinventing the wheel, Ed and TED have teamed up with WorldChanging , an existing non-profit organization dedicated to showing us a "bright green future, a sustainable, prosperous, dynamic future for all." Ed Burtynsky's images have been edited into a short video that will be disseminated (TV, web, screen, here, etc.) to help spread the word about WorldChanging and allow people to learn about and get involved in the issues raised by each of Ed's photographs. Check it out.
We are uneasy: uneasy about the political, religious or other constituencies that may influence future investments in biotechnology; uneasy about the possibility of being “engineered� by medicine; and certainly uneasy about the fact that Mother Nature seems to be warning us about our continued affronts to her. ...Thinking ahead of the curve, the artists included offer provocative, engaging, often stunningly beautiful work that addresses some of the concerns being raised about our bio-techno world.
I was planning to head to Brooklyn today to see art. Most of the galleries I called were not answering, perhaps taking a Snow Day. (Most Brooklyn galleries, unlike New York City galleries, are open on Monday.) Instead I wandered down to City Hall to check out Julian Opie's Public Art Fund installation in City Hall Park. It has been up forever. Even though I am a big fan of Opie's work I was too lazy to catch it. Until today.
Just for the record, I have bought art simply because I loved it. I didn't check out the artist's c.v. or make sure that the gallery was reputable. I have collected a lot of art and feel pretty secure when going with my gut. When I meet people who are interested in putting together a contemporary art collection (and not simply decorating their home, but really investing in up and coming artists), most say that they feel pretty "stupid" when starting out. I am often asked to share some tips on how to make smarter decisions when purchasing those first few works of art. They have all been told to buy what they love, but some want to know more. That post was one tip. Just a suggestion. There are many ways to go about collecting art.

Keeping Track of Openings and Shows
Who's up when? What night is the opening? What is going to be showing on our trip to _______ (insert NY, London, Los Angeles, etc.)?

And, if you are planning a trip to Chelsea, don't leave home without checking out Chelsea Art Galleries , an extremely informative and easy to navigate website on all things Chelsea. The coolest aspect of the website is the ability to build a printable "gallery tour" by clicking on your galleries of choice. Edward Winkleman recommends Chelsea Art Galleries, too.
Please add other lists or services in a comment. Thanks.
Update: ArtCal is another great resource for openings and gallery shows. Thanks Barry.

Art for Good
Edward Burtynsky , Nickel Tailings No. 34 , Sudbury, Ontario 1996
I have been a fan of Edward Burtynsky's photographs since I first saw them in 2002 at the Charles Cowles Gallery . I am drawn to 'the beauty and the beast' quality of these works - stunningly gorgeous images of stunningly horrific human endeavors and effects like mining, waste, and pollution.
Now these images are being put to good use. Last year he was selected as one of the first recipients of the TED Prize , an annual prize awarded to an individual who has shown that they can, in some way, positively impact life on this planet. (Bono was a fellow TED Prize recipient.) Each recipient is granted "a wish to change the world." They may wish for anything and the TED community will do its best to make that wish come true.

Following up...
The post Buy What You Love, But... received a lot of comments. Most of the comments I received via email. In fact, I still recieve about one email per week about that post. I must have hit on one hot topic. Most of you disagreed with the post so I thought I'd follow up...
