Art News Blog
Visit Art News Blog.
Art News Blog provides rolling coverage of art. Whilst its author, Dion Archibald, is based in Australia, the coverage he provides incorporates worldwide events.
Archibald employs humour to good effect, both in identifying off-the-beaten track events to cover, and in his writing – which is often ironic, and sometimes sardonic. There is a good balance to the humour, such that we view even his most sardonic observation as being without an ounce of rancour. In this way, Art New blog serves-up its news coverage in a consistently interesting and insightful way – which is Archibald’s (self-stated) primary concern.
This is an art news blog for those looking for hidden gems, the occasional shock/ surprise (depending on your disposition), and an alternate take on the mainstream view.
