"...I was honored to be given the opportunity to interview Eleanor Antin for the TwCA column in December, and right through the holidays she and I e-mailed back and forth (and back and forth… thank you Eleanor!) to create Myths, Metaphors and More: An Interview with Eleanor Antin, which was then published in two parts on January 14th and 15th, 2009..."

Eleanor Antin's Classical Frieze at LACMA
By Gregg Chadwick for SPEED OF LIFE, July 12, 2009
"Pompeii, especially, with its grand murals and flourishing gardens haunted by the dark shadow of Vesuvius, has always suggested uncomfortable parallels with our contemporary world, especially here in Southern California, where the sunlit life also turns out to have dark shadows in which failure and death lurk at the edge of consciousness. Now, in these times, we have even closer parallels with those ancient, beautiful, affluent people living the good life on the verge of annihilation."
—Eleanor Antin on Classical Frieze

Art review: 'Superficiality and Superexcrescence' at Ben Maltz Gallery
http://http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/culturemonster/2009/07/review-superficiality-and-superexcrescence-at-ben-maltz-gallery-.html
By Holly Myers, July 8, 2009
“Superficiality and Superexcrescence” at the Otis College of Art and Design’s Ben Maltz Gallery builds on a theme central to L.A. art for so long, one is inclined to wonder at the purpose of such an exhibition now or question the rationale for narrowing the scope to a mere 13 artists.

Extra! Extra!
From Hummer humping to teaching kids about world news, artist Tim Schwartz is as subversive as he is sweet
By Katherine Sweetman for the San Diego CityBeat, July 7, 2009
"...Nowadays, Schwartz produces his work in La Jolla on the UCSD campus, where he’s partway through earning a master’s degree in visual arts. The degree wasn’t always part of his plans, mind you. In 2003, he graduated with honors from Wesleyan University with a degree in physics. He’s a competent computer programmer, but after developing wrist tendonitis, he realized he didn’t want to sit in front of a computer all day. Schwartz’s work has since moved off the computer screen and into the real world..."
