Why are previously well-known women “forgotten”? What effects does the gender debate have on today’s everyday working life? Are women judged today solely on the basis of their quality of work?

The Damien Hirst Spot Challenge Dream
I set out a few weeks ago to create an itinerary for the Damien Hirst Spot Challenge, financially suitable for a couple of creative culture vultures (or as some have called ‘underemployed hipsters’). The thought of traveling around the world to see all 11 Gagosian Spot Painting shows intrigued me, not because I am a huge fan of the work (but I kind of am), but more because I love travel for its...

I still won't do work for free.
I received this email today. I guess they are trying to further explain the Obama poster contest. I find it ironic they are asking artists and designers to work for free to support a cause to get Americans back to work?
