Well, the Whitney Biennial has opened. You can see examples of each artist's work here (though they are not necessarily the pieces on exhibit). Artinfo has published a demographic breakdown of the participants.

In the studio, I am in high gear, want to finish hair embroidery lips today. Yesterday was a glorious day, spent a few hours in the morning feeding myself with art books, made some sketches, then special ordered a frame and convex glass for my vein piece, some hair in colors that I do not manufacture, and gold and silver leaf. Afternoon and evening divided up between veins and hair (embroidery).
