Ask a Curator about Art, Exhibitions & Viagra 09/02
As previously mentioned, yesterday was Ask a Curator Day on Twitter. More than 340 museums, from 23 different countries, participated.
By 6am EST, the inquisitive tweeps in New Zealand, Australia and Europe had already made #askacurator the number one trending topic in the world. Which, it is turns out, is everything but awesome. All of a sudden, the hashtag no longer included fascinating Q&As but a lot of viagra, porn and Justin Bieber mentions.
Monumental New Art in the LES 08/31
Received opinion says the old Lower East Side is disapearing in the face of new developments, boutiques, and, yes, art galleries. But don't join that chorus just yet. Come October, one LES spot will be complicating the usual gentrify-and-conquer narrative.
#askacurator 08/30
Tomorrow, Wednesday, September 1st, is #askacurator day on twitter. Curators from over 300 museums, including the Art Institute of Chicago, the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum and San Diego Museum of Art, as well as museums from England, Germany and 18 other countries, will be answering your questions all day. Follow us to see the most interesting Q&As retweeted and check back here Thursday for a transcript.

Twitter Battles 08/24
Nothing like a public squabble to illustrate the greatness that is Twitter:
During the past few weeks, some of our favorite art tweeps have been battling it out - live, publicly and to the joy (and terror) of fascinated followers everywhere.
We recently mentioned the continuing show-down between @museumnerd and @TylerGreenDC, which has been going on for months - the New York Observer mentioned their Dennis Hopper fight in May.
Yesterday, @artfagcity and @hragv were at it, with the ever snarky tweeting art scene, including @powhida @FakeDeitchAsst and @TheodoreArt, jumping at the chance to join the battle. Hilarious, entertaining and at moments somewhat frightening for all of us following.
Now if only everyone could get in the habit of # hash-tagging their fights.

Daily updates over at Brooklyn Street Art and on twitter by @KiangaEllis - #RevWar.
