July 2010 My essay on British artist Harland Miller’s watercolors and drawings will appear in a publication to accompany his exhibition at Galerie Alex Daniels, Amsterdam, in September. Another essay, on Irish painter John Kingerlee’s works on paper, will feature in a forthcoming monograph published by Katharine T. Carter and Associates. I’ve been more than usually busy with Scene & Herd diary entries for artforum.com recently, reporting on Rivane Neuenschwander’s opening at the New Museum of Contemporary Art, the Swiss Institute’s Battle of Bad Taste Party, NADA’s County Affair in Callicoon, New York, and the Bruce High Quality Foundation’s Field of Dreams in Prospect Park, Brooklyn, among others. Currently, I’m writing artists’ profiles for a catalogue accompanying “Under Destruction,” an exhibition curated by Chris Sharp that will open at the Tinguely Museum, Basel, in October. I’m also helping to edit documentation of artist Ricardo Valentim’s “Film Festival” project, and a book about artist-run projects in Los Angeles compiled by ART2102.

February 2010 My "Letter from New Zealand" appears in the March issue of Art Monthly. Underway are a cataloue for painter Chuck Webster's forthcoming solo exhibition at Steven Zevitas Gallery in Boston, and an essay on Stephen Nguyen's forthcoming project at Suyama Space in Seattle. I also recently became a member of Room 58, a writer's space in Brooklyn, and completed a Mediabistro course in InDesign for Writers and Editors, and contributed two new artworks to "The Great Pop-Up Art Sale." a fundraiser for d.u.m.b.o. arts center (dac).

Available from Marlborough Chelsea is the catalogue for painter Steven Charles's October exhibition "The Upstairs Room," for which I wrote the introductory essay. "Frontin'," my article on Pharrell Williams and celebrity interdisciplinarity, is the cover article in the December/January issue of Modern Painters. And my essay on painter Marti Cormand will appear in the cataloge for his exhibiton at la Fundació Arranz-Bravo, Barcelona, in February 2010. Currently underway is an essay on artist Guy Benfield's residency and exhibition "Night Store" at Art in General, New York, which will be published by the gallery in 2010.
