Boundless Gallery by Jacob Resneck

We're always a fan of a good website stemming from simple ideas that have been competently executed. BoundlessGallery is one such site that connects thousands of artists from all over the world with potential buyers and clients, creating a global art marketplace that excludes the corpulent art dealer in the middle.

After just a cursory look at some of the artists added in the past few days, there seems to be a lot of quality work representing a range of genres. Aside from the October artist of the month, the site gives many other new and otherwise obscure artists the exposure they deserve.

Organized into several different compartments, a search engine allows artists and clients to find each other. Guests of the site can also tour virtual studios using the site's in-built interface to negotiate directly with the artist before deciding whether to purchase a piece.

Of course the internet has its limitations as nothing can replace the ability to see or feel a piece in the physical realm. To help compensate, Boundless will super-impose an artwork to scale in your chosen space so that you can make a better assessment of what that piece would look like in your home or office. Clients with an artistic vision that needs to be actualized can also contact an artist to commission the piece, choosing from one of thousands of artists that have already registered with the Carbondale, Illinois-based virtual art broker.

Interview with Erik Madigan Heck of Nomenus Quarterly
by Laura Neilson In 2007, 23-year-old Erik Madigan Heck founded Nomenus Quarterly with the kind of arrogant fervor that only someone at that age could pull off. And perhaps it was that very same aplomb that made the multifaceted art and fashion publication so notoriously successful. Just one glance at the archives' roster of featured artists, designers and contributors, including Dries Van Noten, Helmut...
Rojo TV
Just launched today by Barcelona-based art publisher and artist management group Rojo, their new online TV channel Rojo TV is an artsy alternative to the others. Unlike the streaming QOOB TV, which features short movies but done more by filmmakers and designers than fine artists, Rojo TV focuses only on creative video works from artist-filmmakers, such as Javier Longobardo, Iris Piers, Marco di Noia...
Lumas Editions Gallery, Melbourne
Melbourne may well be miles from most of the world's cultural epicenters, but when it comes to appreciation of quality photographic art, Melbournians know their stuff. Perhaps that's why Lumas Editions decided to expand their global galleries by opening a Melbourne tangent just over a month ago. Located in the hip Little Collins Street precinct, Melbourne's Lumas Gallery continues the company's global reputation for...
Polanoid
Polaroid nerds of the world unite! Well it's no secret that I'm crazy in love with Polaroids.
