I went to the Anderson Ranch in Colorado to participate in a workshop with Enrique Martinez Celaya last week. I wrote about him here a while ago. It was an intense experience to be talking about art for a whole week all day long... But I'm really happy to have done that. Check out their web site http://www.andersonranch.org. One of the things Celaya talked about is his publishing house - "Whale and Star" which publishes poetry, art monographs, critical writings on philosophy and art among others. Here's their web site: http://www.whaleandstar.com/ In the end of the year "Whale and Star" is going to be transformed into an institute of sorts that will be dedicated to the "renewal of art's ethical responsibilities". Located in the middle of the arts district in Miami It will continue to publish books as well as have a residency for artists, a library, public lectures, etc. Also, in the fall Celaya will present a lecture he's been working on for a while at the University of Nebraska on the theme of Artist as Prophet.
So that's the inside scoop! Check these places out if you get a chance.
