In anticipation of the sold out Brian Eno and Jon Hassell conversation on Sept 22, here is a gem for your pleasure. Eno performs here with legendary Roxy Music in the early 70’s, freaking out on tambourine and, er, keyboard? Here he is rocking his crucially dangerous “vampire peacock” look. Check out that skullet!
Also, here’s one for your desktop:

The Walker has joined the growing number of institutions participating in ArtShare, the Brooklyn Museum’s art sharing application on Facebook. The team at Brooklyn launched ArtShare in November 2007, and the response was immediately positive. By adding this app Facebook users are able to rotate works of art on their profile, showing their favorites or just items that pique their interest. The app even works with Facebook Pages, and has been added to the Walker’s page here. (Like the Walker? Become a fan of our page!)
If you’re a Facebook user, give ArtShare a try and let us know what you think!
A big thanks to Shelley and Michael for making the application so open and also for working with other institutions to bring everyone online – they were responding to inquiries from us on day one and ready to help integrate our collection.
These remind me of the boring & non-offensive awesome WACTAC t-shirt.

Creative Time’s new video site has some great little videos featuring artists they fund: Marilyn Minter on her Whitney Biennial billboards, Song Dong marking time with water and a brush on the sidewalks of New York, Jenny Holzer discussing last year’s project For the City, an interview with choreographer William Forsythe, and more.
I don’t know who this guy is. He doesn’t say much about himself.
Nobody’s ever told me anything about him.
But man, he can blog like nobody’s business. I think maybe he
lives about seven months in the future and is posting via
time-machine.
People who websurf constantly and like art sites would likely like
this well-established techie art site.
As for me, I’m liking this Regine Debatty site. Man she’s good.
The first time I came across “we-make-money-not-art” I thought
that Regine had to be at least 30 or 40 people.
