I decided to buy magazines instead of going to the library, as I was going on a long car ride and needed entertainment. Borders had the September issue of Artforum, the same one Carrie has, but not the October issue. Artforum is heavy, $10 and I didn't feel like dragging it around in my backpack. I bought Juxtapoz, because it was $6, not that thick, and it was the October issue.
The audience for Juxtapoz seems much younger than the one for Artforum. I think a party with the artists in Juxtapoz would be much more interesting, the art is visual, and even if I'm not sure what the point is, at least there is something to look at in the art. I feel like a party full of Artforum readers would be just a bunch of rich people trying to impress each other. The Juxtapoz crowd would have more ink and piercings.
The Artforum website has a more useful calendar though. You can sort it to have Chicago events, while Juxtapoz sorts by date, not by geography. I can actually USE the Artforum calendar to go see some art.
After our talk about Murakami doing LV, I found it amusing to see that Poketo has a line of bags and accessories at Target.
