It is based at thewhitepube.com and also on Instagram and Twitter as @thewhitepube.
[They] publish a new text every Sunday, mostly exhibition reviews but every so often baby essays filed under art thoughts.
[They] started writing about art because [they thought] everything else was boring/overly academic/white nonsense////and male.
Every review is a personal reaction, and a record of an encounter with an aesthetic experience. [They] wanna write GOOD ~ have politix ~ n call out the general bullshit that stops a lot of us even wantin 2 go to galleries."
Their presentation was equally as entertaining as their writing is, and it was a pure joy to listen to them freely discuss matters that simply many other creatives are too scared to approach. I'm thinking in particular of the fact that they share their accounts with readers and thus highlight the institutions that simply fail to pay a fair wage.
It is too common that artists / writers / musicians / curators are paid a minimal fee without travel expenses and accommodation. If we all shared our accounts online it would show which institutions are good and bad at paying artists.
I feel there is a bigger conversation that needs to happen here, so please watch this space!
