Arts Around the Web / World / Corner #5

Here’s a few things I’ve been reading lately, starting with how to be a better online reader, via The New Yorker. We’re reading on all sorts of devices now, and the affect this has on our comprehension is interesting.

Sydney-based academic Susan Best has turned her inspired Facebook series ‘Women Artists who should be better known‘ into a blog for publisher I.B. Taurus.

The Sydney Morning Herald talked to curator Glenn Barkley amongst others about how to display your art collection in a domestic setting.

Berlin-based Australian artist Scott Redford wrote at length for Crikey’s Daily Review about the impasse reached in contemporary art.

And Japanese artist Megumi Igarashi was recently arrested for distributing data that could be used to create a vagina-shaped kayak using a 3D printer. This story raises broader questions about digital information as well as Japanese culture.
