Artichokes and art-world jokes


Artichokes for dinner - is there a stranger vegetable? Did you know that the word artichoke is taken from the Arabic ارضي شوكي (ardi shauki) or ارضي شوك (ardi shauk), meaning "ground-thorn"?

Paddy Johnson of Art Fag City interviews artists Tom Moody and Michael Bell-Smith about how technology informs artistic production.

Art bloggers are all yapping about "Iron Artist," at P.S. 1 in Queens, a competition that was loosely modeled after the television series "Iron Chef."

I don't know who Hugh Chou is, but he is like the most useful nerdy friend that you could ever hope to have. (Via the Times.)
