 "As artist and new user Gizelle Zatonyl pointed out, ArtStack isn't a very good social network. Comments are on the artwork information-pages and it discourages users from leaving much more than trivia about the work or artist, she complained over email. " (Paddy Johnson)

 "My favorite exhibitions of 2012 is up at the L Magazine. No museum shows this year. Ghosts in the Machine was the only one that came close to making the list. Lots of under recognized talent this year, Viola Yesiltac, and Michael Barryhill amongst them." (Paddy Johnson)

 "Perhaps the only good news for bad reviews comes as a corollary to that fact: because successful artists can weather bad reviews, and because it's bad business to go after small fish, a negative review can be a mark of distinction, a sign you're good enough to merit a takedown. " (Will Brand)

 "Just take the New York art world, which is built on free labor (and a lot of it). Most of us know more people who are working on unpaid art projects than real paying jobs, and that's not awesome. We believe that our world will be a little better for it, though, because we believe art has the power to effect change." (Paddy Johnson)

 "As Blake Gopnik pointed out at The Daily Beast, the show isn't in any real sense about the art world. The galleries involved are marginal, the art is largely offscreen, and the girls spend more time talking about fashion than art." (Will Brand)

 "Back in March, Facebook launched Timeline, a redesign that allows users to fill in milestones and user histories all the way back to their births. Five months later, nobody I know has done much with the feature, but I have noticed a few art institutions starting to fill out their histories. " (Paddy Johnson )

 "When it's difficult to find works for their actual qualities, we start to rely on name recognition, and the most famous painters simply build their brands. We keep buying Ramones albums, or (if you're a Sheikh) Gerhard Richter paintings, and our taste starts to be determined by whoever has the best promotion." (Will Brand)

 "As a depiction of an eccentric art collector, as enacted by an eccentric art collector, this show does pretty well. The nice thing about the novel, though, was that it was a critique of the bourgeoisie and a work of fiction. Lindemann's show is art doing what it's supposed to do-representing reality-and that's a bitter pill to swallow. " (Paddy Johnson)

 "Looking at the season ahead got me thinking about some other trends that seem likely to shape the art world in New York and beyond this year, enough to fill a list..." (Benjamin Sutton )

 "Art Blog Art Blog is an unusual name for a temporary exhibition space. Founded by artist Joshua Abelow, and named after his blog, the new gallery is located in painter Ross Bleckner's studio in Chelsea." (Paddy Johnson)
