THE CURATOR: female anatomy letterpresses, art questions, trashy club wear, Lord Whimsy at Haunted Poe

Lord Whimsy

Every Tuesday, Critical Mass sifts through the art blog world so you don't have to.

-Roberta Fallon and Libby Rosof's artblog offers up a taste of the current letterpress exhibit, "Poems/Posters," which is up at the Kelly Writers House. It features broadsides that pair text with prints, including visiting artist Megan O'Connell's Agile Reactions: 33 Bean Games, which is a humorous, cutesy ode to female anatomy.

-After a long summer hiatus, Funnel Pages is back. They've got a new feature, 'Ask An Art Question,' where readers can submit a query and have the community add its two cents. But not just any question. Curator Shaun insists that something like, 'Is shooting paint out of my butt awesome or what?' won't make the cut.

-PW Style has picked up on the fact that a certain go-to-shop for trashy club wear has gone a bit biblical. Unfortunately, it was Black Box ' not the Bible ' that said, "you got the body, so why don't you use it?'

-Lord Whimsy (pictured, right) wrote on his blog that he got a sneak peak of Brat Production's Haunted Poe, a haunted house-cum-tour that we told you about in this week's Agenda section. To commemorate the poet's 200th birthday, the troupe is setting up a warehouse with Poe-inspired spooks and specters. Whimsy wasn't afraid to dress up for the event, so neither should you.
