Nate Cassie’s Regis Shephard f*cked up my sh*t
By Sarah Fisch on September 7, 2011

Ladies and Gentlemen, Miss Tapanga Jansen
By Sarah Fisch on August 18, 2011
This is Tapanga Jansen, a San Antonio video and social networking artist. I’m a big fan of her idiosyncratic, deliberately lo-fi, subversively sophisticated short videos, as well as her penchant for speaking in all LOLCats-style pidgin. Here’s the first video of Tapanga’s I saw, “Where’s Lori?” (2010) As you can see, Tapanga [...]

Arty Party opens Texas Biennial
By Sarah Fisch on April 19, 2011
I don’t think I’ve ever had an interesting conversation that began with the other person saying, “When I was at Burning Man…” I’m not saying it couldn’t happen. And I’ve got several friends who’ve had fun during this increasingly famous free-form, if expensive, festival thingy; one friend met her husband at Burning Man. He’s a [...]
