Great way to wile a day away: The Berkeley Art Museum’s Barry McGee survey as seen on the interwebs, including the Berkeley Art Museum’s Flickr stream, the Barry McGee Flickr group created by the museum so that visitors can share their own pictures and Tumblr’s Barry McGee tag.- Andrew Russeth offers a nice reminiscence of Pace’s latest Robert Irwin exhibition.
- Fascinating piece by Roger Bevan for The Art Newspaper on the restoration-ish of Gustav Klimt’s studio.
- I frequently disagree with the approaches the Warhol Foundation takes to issues, but this Art Newspaper op-ed-ish by Ford Foundation’s Christine J. Vincent is spot-on.
- With Mars in the news, I find myself watching this over and over again: A three-minute excerpt from Kelly Richardson’s Mariner 9 (2012, installation view above). The piece recently saw its North American debut at the Toronto International Film Festival and will doubtless be included in her upcoming museum survey.
- Are you up-to-date on the Walker’s artists-and-politics project? Smart stuff.
- I love it when LACMA’s blog goes deep on collection objects: You say you don’t really know what a colonial-era Mexican lacquered box is? Then thanks to Kathryn Santner, you have the pleasure of discovery ahead.
- Thomas Lawson talks with Liz Glynn for East of Borneo.
- Playgrounds!!
- William Powhida on SFMOMA’s terrif Open Space blog? Yeah, that’s gonna be good.
- Um, public voting on the authenticity of a Raphael (?) drawing? Odd.
- Steve Roden, who made the sound for The Modern Art Notes Podcast, has fulfilled a commission for the Huntington’s much-anticipated show on death, mourning, memory and the Civil War.
- Via Ben Fino-Radin at Rhizome, this is wonderfully subversive, neat, old-school, new-school and lots of other things.
- Alma Thomas and fashion? Yup, and way more cool than you think, thanks to Kelly Quinn.
- The Art Institute of Chicago’s Suzanne Karr Schmidt celebrates Oktoberfest with art, beer and sausages. So awesome.
- Jonathan Jones explains why Eric Hobsbawm was and is important to anyone who values “culture.”
- It’s troubling — but not unexpected — that things keep happening during this election season that make me think of Carrie Mae Weems’s work.
- Ed Schad is the latest to love Christian Marclay’s The Clock.

We love it too when LACMA (and other museums) go in-depth on an object. Thanks for pointing us to Kathryn Santner’s post on colonial-era Mexican lacquered boxes.
We wrote a short post about Kathryn’s article:
