Melbourne Art Network tweeted this absolute gem from Kelvingrove in Glasgow, a museum that takes dumbing down to new heights.
It was in response to another strident and brilliant editorial in the Burlington Magazine on the state of art writing. It's frustrating that the Burlington is so expensive to access on-line - I got dirty looks from the staff at the National Gallery shop yesterday when I started to read a third article, propping myself up by the cash register - but the freely available editorials are always brilliant and always right.
Thanks Richard. I've talked about joining for years, but your comment has inspired me to check their periodicals list. It's amazing! I think you've finally convinced me to sign up. Civilized opening hours too - much easier than trying to get to the National Art Library once in a blue moon, excellent though it is.
