“The CAA’s 100th Annual Conference couldn’t have come at a better time for the city…”
“Looking forward to warm sunshine…”
“I’ve seen so many people knitting during sessions. Is there a group art project happening that I’m not aware of?”
“I’ve heard rumors of a cage match between art history profs and painting profs tomorrow.”
“If the panel is not good, I’ll be devastated. Hard to suck the fun out of Polke.”
“How many people would watch a web stream of a CAA panel?”
“David Antin confronts mystery of Duchamp’s sugar cubes–and art itself–in acceptance speech…”
“A whole panel with ‘no talking allowed’ – excited for this silent format focused on visuals”
“This is like the art history Oscars...”
“This Rosalind Krauss session at #CAA2012 is PACKED! Morbid curiosity?”
“‘That was sooo graduate student’ – overheard at #CAA2012″
“So listen closely, Grasshopper, as I parse my infinite CAA wisdom into some key points…save the sweet talk for quiet moments…don’t put all your jpegs in one basket…I can now identify the conference dress code as thoroughly ‘biz cas’…Surrounded by aesthetics, it might appear very pure and civilized, but under the surface we’re dealing with the sordid world of ‘networking.’”
