This week there was an unfortunate post on the Glasstire Instagram account. An image meant to ridicule Donald Trump’s rhetoric of “bad hombres” and building a wall along the border…

Klepto fantasies from the Glasstire staff.

Negative reviews have resonance. They’re the ones people remember.

As much as dealers give lip service to the idea that fairs are about advertising and networking (rather than selling art), at some point the rubber must hit the road.

Pluecker writes that a new development in the Houston neighborhood is an “utter abandonment of every political and social goal to which the de Menils dedicated their lives.”

Art-world press releases are their own special hell. Let's explore.

This is a story of a city’s growing pains in the face of standard gentrification, but with a novel, contemporary twist.

What I admire most about Meow Wolf is that they explicitly want out of the art world. They want their freedom, and they figured out how to get it.

I’ve been looking for and dreaming up better art-world applications for Pokémon Go. After a few weeks of playing, I have some ideas.

Liberals do Trump a disservice when they act like he’s a buffoon. He’s a kind of artist—a dystopian visionary.

Buying and selling art with people you don’t know over an Instagram post only promotes the exchange of questionable art between questionable people with questionable motives.

Do you believe in desensitization? Do you believe in the slippery slope?

There’s always clamor in our world. Once again I’m glad for the artists who cut through the noise, noisily.

We are ripe for a rigorous, joyfully open-minded, unthemed, ongoing and regular survey of the best work being made in Texas.

Already there is evidence of voters saying: "I didn't realize this would be the outcome; if I could vote again, I'd reverse my vote.”

In a display of stammering unctuousness, the liberal film industry decided that a proper atonement for years of racist caricatures was to depict indigenous people as literal angels.

What if artists acted more like athletes?

People who advocate for “reconceptualizing personhood” by eliminating property and ownership are dangerous.

We're interested in, and dismayed by, this notion that elitism is a bad thing—that wanting to be elite and to associate with the elite is negative.

Jamie Panzer, whose current show is evolving (as we type this) at Big Medium in Austin, has given us an idea of what he would do for love.
