Art and Design Blogs

As the initial blog mania dies down, many cultural observers are expanding their websites into in-depth, magazine-style forums with a variety of articles. Following up on our past surveys of art, design, and photography blogs, we explore some of these megasites, such as the irreverent we make money not art and the witty Design Observer. Covering the range of art blogs, we also highlight collaborative sites VVORK and Artworld Salon and uncover new gems from Puerto Rico, Sweden, and China. In our interview with photographer Alec Soth, we discuss his opinionated online commentary on his craft and community, and we discover new work in the non-virtual world with reviews of Andreas Gursky's photographs in London and David Noonan's silkscreen paintings in Paris.
