A blog about which I was previously unaware, NYC Opera Fanatic, calls CultureGrrl a soul sister for my Stupid Met Tricks. I’d tell you the name of this blogger (you know CultureGrrl credits writers whenever she can), but I couldn’t find it on his site. All I can tell you is that he’s a redhead and has moved to Philadelphia (and thus calls himself “NYC Opera Fanatic in Exile”). Whoever he is, wherever he is, he’s got a mighty lively blog.
And two relatively new, sparsely visited, but worthwhile museum-related blogs recently came across my screen:
Museum Blogging: Leslie Madsen-Brooks thoughtfully surveys museum news and issues. Her latest post (Oct. 20) discusses New York Law School’s Digital Museums Project, which is examining intellectual property issues raised by digitizing museum collections.
Curating.info: This site is a compendium of curatorial news, job postings and musings on the challenges and hot-button issues confronted by museums’ frontline professionals. The Aug. 29 post, Every Curator’s Nightmare?, Michelle Kasprzak discusses a show that got shut down less than 24 hours after it opened.
Check ’em out.
