Swiss museum removes fetus artwork Gilbert and George's Artistic Mischief -- The body of a student had been found stuffed in a suitcase and dumped in a ditch near the village of Askham Richard in North Yorkshire. She had been bound and gagged with two-inch-wide tape decorated with a pattern of men's faces on a blue background. The tape, purchased at the Tate gift shop, had been designed by Gilbert and George.

A very dirty weekend Claim: Pinault Plans For Paris Museum Have "Harmed" French Art World Jérôme Sans, co-director of the Palais de Tokyo in Paris, has criticized billionaire François Pinault for his aborted plans to build a major museum oustide Paris. “For a start, nobody really knows what was going into Mr Pinault’s museum. The contents of his collection are unknown to most people. The entire episode was a little like someone saying yes, ‘I’ll marry you’ and then at the last minute leaving the bride at the altar”. He stressed that “this illusion [that Mr Pinault was to open a museum in Paris] has harmed rather then helped the French art world”. UK's Australian Invasion Why are Australians running some of the UK's biggest arts institutions? "Little in their sunkissed insularity has equipped them for the ethnic and economic diversity of British arts and their focus is so short-term that only the most desperate of boards would, it seems to me, choose a second-string Aussie above a locally experienced, lifelong committed Brit. It makes no sense at all. More alarming still is the effect of their mass defection on the morale and infrastructure of Australian culture." Aussies Fight Back At Lebrecht Australian artists have hit back at critic Norman Lebrecht's recent story wondering why so many Australians have gained power running London arts organizations. "It seems just a little bit rich to assume that we are some secret cabal trying to take over the world and run down the quality of British arts."

Curator of Athens art exhibition on trial for painting -- "insulting the Orthodox Church" Examination Of Self Tracy Emin has a new exhibit that highlights a significant shift in her artistic style. It also highlights something, um, a bit more personal. "Were it not for the fact that nearly every work in the exhibition shows the artist luxuriantly masturbating, it would be possible to imagine that Tracey Emin had transformed herself into an artist with the sensibility of a Victorian lady watercolourist." The Guardian (UK)

Miranda July Brings Art to Big Screen
Contagious Media Can we really suspend the power of judgement? In their latest film, A Visit to the Louvre, Jean-Marie Straub and Danièle Huillet use the power of cinema to frame the discourse of art criticism. In long takes a static camera captures on celluloid the luscious colours of various paintings from the Louvre’s collection, blowing them up to the size of the cinema screen.

Giving Up On the Avant Garde? Margo Jefferson has lost interest in the avant garde. "Is a urinal art? Is elephant dung a fit substance for creating art? Pushing The Edge Of Art And Legality Critical Democracy Is critics' inluence declining? Who cares? "Just as we don't need bigger, more powerful and intrusive government, neither do we need fewer, more powerful critics. Today's profusion of self-appointed critics, publishing via blogs and Podcasts and e-mail lists, is a great thing indeed, bringing the truest form of democracy to the once rarified world of arts criticism. Instead of having to work their way through the academic and corporate-media gauntlet, the best critics simply need to say their piece. If it's solid, it will eventually rise to the top n just as the best art has done, for millennia. And if this means that there eventually won't be any jobs left for paid, professional critics, so be it." The Missoulian (Montana)
