From wikipedia:
“Knitta is a tag crew of anonymous rogue knitters who leave graffiti on monuments, utility poles, and other public items. Unlike traditional taggers, Knitta uses non-damaging materials, such as yarn and cloth. The crew’s mission is to make street art ‘a little more warm and fuzzy’.”

- Above, a clip from Johanna Billing’s Graduate Show from 1999. Johanna Billing: Taking Turns is at the Kemper Museum of Art until February 1, 2009. I’m feeling these softspoken videos.
- The Kemper has acquired local artist Archie Scott Gobber’s 80″x124″ In Loving Memory of You. It’s awesome and it’s up right now.
- At ArtLies: a recent review of a Gobber show from last summer. And a review of a Kehinde Wiley show from around the same time.
- Ricky Allman, Grant Miller and Linnea Spransy currently at Byron Cohen Gallery. We’ll have a Q&A with Spransy up soon.
- Sarah Mote on Evermore: Pattern & Process at the Epsten Gallery in KCK.
- “Cynicism falls in between optimism and pessimism. It’s a golden mean.” English professor Eric G. Wilson discusses melancholy. Maybe related to my feeling the Billings videos?
- Casey Roberts at Neoteric Art.
- UPDATE: Casey Roberts at On the Cusp, too.
- Barely-there paintings: The Old Gold talks to Knoxville, TN painter Carrie Pollack.
- Opening a World: Five Figurative Artists at the Painting Center.
- Joanne Mattera’s Artblog is putting together an online exhibit of 50 Over 50—–50 artists over the age of 50 whose work proves that experience counts. Looks like artists are supposed to submit their own work for consideration. Instructions at Mattera’s blog. Non-coastal artists deserve to be well-represented, so submit yo’self! UPDATE: SORRY 50 OVER 50 IS CANCELLED.
