Profiles in Art: Sarah Urist Green, The Art Assignment

In 2014, Sarah Urist Green left her job as a curator of contemporary art at the Indianapolis Museum of Art to start The Art Assignment, an educational art show hosted by PBS. The Art Assignment covers a variety of topics, including but not limited to making the case for famous/controversial pieces of art, highlighting cooking […]Read Post ›

Networking in the Arts

Let’s talk about networking that doesn’t feel like a bunch of frat bros talking finance.

How I’m Surviving the Insanity that is the Art World: Part 1

The Art World today is in poor shape. It depends on a group of people who are willing to sacrifice themselves, give away their labor, and be nearly constantly rejected. In the interest of the United States gaining power in STEM and conservative politics in cutting funding, it has become increasingly difficult to have the […]Read Post ›

“It’s Kind of a Joke, but It’s Also Real.”: Why Broad City had to Change to Stay the Same

Broad City, a Comedy Central critical darling, took a deeply serious turn from its usual witty surrealism in the recent season three episode “Burning Bridges.” Best friends Abbi and Ilana have spent the series navigating their twenties in New York and getting into increasingly silly and consequence-free hijinks, but season three has been a slow […]Read Post ›

Boston Bombing and American Photography

Tomorrow is Patriot’s Day in Massachusetts. It’s a day to celebrate American Victory in the Revolutionary war. It’s the day that Bostonians host one of the most difficult to enter marathons, and reenact the Battles of Lexington and Concord. Three years ago, it was the day of the Boston Bombing. Always around this time of […]Read Post ›

Female Gaze on Female Gaze: Dorothea Lange

Photography, for many reasons, has always been ever so slightly more available to women. It was such a new medium, without the systems of training being set up for centuries like they were in painting or sculpture. While it meant that photography had to fight for its place in the art world, it also meant […]Read Post ›

Lady Louisa Greville: One of the Many Unknown Artists

(This was originally written as a justification of a purchase for an object collected by the Davis Museum. The full text may be found by viewing the object file. This is part of a Monthly Series of focusing on Female Artists by Claire Milldrum.) In the 18th century, women faced particularly difficult challenges to build […]Read Post ›

When your love for learning a subject trumps student debt

A few days before the New Year, my power went out and I was alone. It was scary, and without the distraction of entertainment run by electricity, I decided to write. I decided to draft my application to graduate school. I lit some candles, poured some red wine, wrapped myself in blankets and used what […]Read Post ›

I love finding the Dead

    I love finding the dead. Not in a way that will start the apocalypse or American Horror Story. Instead, it’s historical research. I’m finding people who had loose ends, who left a story behind tied to some event or object in a museum to have a deeper understanding. It’s about resolving the past […]Read Post ›

When Artists Steal vs. Copy

Before I opened this article, I was skeptical because the Artnet News Facebook page described it as “Your favorite Klimt paintings, transformed into high-end fashion photography.”  High-end fashion photography tends to either be trendy and chic or ridiculous and overdone.  However, upon opening the link and seeing Inge Prader’s photographs in comparison with the paintings, I […]Read Post ›
