- Christoph Büchel turned Hauser & Wirth's Piccadilly gallery into a community center — a community center with a really wonderful website, no less — last month. [Strange Messenger]
- WATER FINDS ITS OWN LEVEL HOWSOEVER, a new print by Lawrence Weiner, is available through 20x200. The work is a remix of sorts of his commission for the Art Production Fund's mural project, covered here earlier. [Ms. Jen Bekman]
- "I’m going to break this down very simply, and as nonlibelously as possible." David Levine recalls his father's involvement in the Marlborough-Rothko scandal. This is the sleeper hit of the summer. [Triple Canopy]
- Artist Matt Connors intensely blogs a book on German artists in the 1980s. I'm a big fan of the Katja Hajek's — 'I'm just chilling by a grand piano' — portrait. Sadly, there's very little material about her (in English, at least) online. [And a Half/Und Eine Halbe]
- The Smithsonian American Art Museum acquired a painting by Allan D'Arcangelo earlier this year. It's a beauty. [Eyelevel]
