Tonight’s event at Hyperallergic HQ is sold out, but don’t fret if you don’t have tickets as the artist has agreed to let us turn tonight’s performance into a podcast. This also means that there will be no livestreaming this evening.

Join Us on Wed Aug 17 to Discuss Outsourcing Art
Outsourcing, outsourcing, outsourcing! It has become an obsession with pundits and commentators as one of the many ills that plague America. The notion that a faceless figure overseas is answering your customer service calls, writing your corporate reports or programming your software is rampant in the American imagination and artist Andrew Norman Wilson is exploring this dark corner of our global consciousness with his “The Virtual Assistance” project.
Join us at 7:30 pm EST next Wednesday, August 17 at Hyperallergic HQ where he will discuss his curious art project that involves his hiring of a remote assistant in Bangalore, India.

Indie Art Publishers Take Root in North Brooklyn
If you don’t know the names of Pen15 Press, Wild Isle, For the Birds collective, Birdsong Collective, Burn Books and Brooklyn Arts Press yet, you probably should. These groups are producing indie art books worth a look, and form the center of Brooklyn DIY arts publishing. Yet even given the ready scene of indie publishing and willing artists and writers, creating and selling good work remains a day-to-day battle in the cacophony of Brooklyn creative production.
