I want my MNTV: Every year the Walker, IFP/MN, and Intermedia Arts curates a selection of Minnesota-made movies to air on Twin Cities Public Television. Only one MNTV broadcast remains–Saturday night at 10 on TPT17–but most of the films are viewable online. Watch here.
• RIP Malachi Ritscher: While little known outside Chicago’s free-music scene, Malachi Ritscher was a local legend for his tireless documentation of shows by free jazz and improvised music artists; he’s recorded more than 2,000 shows and some of his projects have been officially released by the artists he tracked. On Friday, Ritscher apparently immolated himself on the Kennedy Expressway. A familiar presence at antiwar rallies, Ritscher left a suicide note on his website expressing his sadness and outrage at the war in Iraq. (Thanks, Jesse.)
• Brooklyn Flickr: Modern Art Notes points out the Brooklyn Museum of Art’s Flickr site; like ours, it has a lot of party pictures, but there are also some amazing shots of Ron Mueck installing his just-opened show.
• Self-deprecating T’s: Archinect has a nice line of new t-shirts.
