Are you back from Art Basel yet? Are you still in London for the big auctions?
What if I throw a party and nobody comes?
Readers’ questions and comments on “The State of the Blog” (both CultureGrrl and art blogs in general) are invited at 3:30 p.m. Eastern Time. I’ve got it all set up. I’ve practiced with the software. But there will be a big moment of technological suspense (if not panic) when I click the link to go live and see if it actually does.
If this does work (and if there’s reader interest), we can move on, in future chats, to discuss the hot-button issues of the day. It seems to me that some of the topics explored during the recent closed-door annual meeting of the Association of Art Museum Directors might be good fodder for open discussion on CultureGrrl.
This is an instant message-type format. On the upcoming post for the first CultureChat, you will see a space at the bottom of the dialogue box where you can type your remarks and hit “Send.” Simple as that.
At about 3:15 p.m., I will publish on CultureGrrl the post on which our 3:30 chat will take place. That way, you can click the “Reader Information” link to learn more about how this will (or maybe won’t) work. For example, I can see your comments/questions in advance, and decide whether to post them and/or edit them.
Please keep your comments brief (which will be a challenge for loquacious me), civil and on topic.
Speaking of editing, if blogging is journalism without a net, live chat is blogging without a net. On my side of the discussion, there may be typos. There may be too-hasty comments that I’d like to take back or refine. There will be technological trauma.
But it’s an experiment. Maybe it will be fun!
Do we have a date, art-lings?
