Stardust Hotel-Casino in Las Vegas implosion.

Las Vegas one of those rare cities that celebrates the destruction of its own history. I'm a little sad I never got to see it. (video via Zoe Strauss)

No, I don't mean "cousins" like Christian Patterson has been using the word. I mean it literally. My Cousin, Willa Mamet has been taking pictures for some time and until her portfolio went up I didn't realize how seriously she pursued the art. Keep shooting Wills.

Art Since 1960 (According to the Internet)

Interesting project by Hanne Mugaas and Cory Arcangel "Art Since 1960 (According to the Internet)." Not only is the project interesting in an of itself, That the internet is providing a unique and alternate version of art history but it is also a great collection of video links. So, stop being board and start watching some youtube.

Below is an Andy Warhol clip included in the project.

A NEW KIND OF ART ROYALTY

In the article by Daniel Grant on artnet "A NEW KIND OF ART ROYALTY" he raises a subject I have often thought about, fine art royalties. In many arts in America, Film, Literature, Music... once a piece of artwork is sold and then resold there are additional payments to the creator. In America this is not the case for fine artists once an artwork is sold there is no more money to be made. In Europe and Britain there is a relatively new system in place to try to address this Inequity. Somehow America needs to have this issue addressed as well, anyone know a Congressperson that they can propose this to?
