Jackson Pollock didn't bother with a "Troubleshootize" tab.
Today FeedBurner channels our inner Picasso, as we proudly sponsor the Bernstein & Andriulli New Media Symposium happening this evening at the Library at The SoHo House in New York City. Bernstein & Andriulli is an artist management agency that represents all types of imaginative folks like photographers, illustrators, stylists, hair and makeup artists, interactive artists and producers. Today's symposium ponders, "Webisodes, Mobisodes, On-Line Advergaming, Branded and Unbranded Media, Urban Vinyl Toys...What Does It All Mean?" Boy, we wish we knew (hey, we don't have all the answers, but we do know our Monets from our Manets — and our mayonnaise, for that matter).
And with mother nature brandishing her palette of lovely Springtime hues all around us, we thought it timely to present some of our many artistic publishers who are distributing colorful feeds far and wide. Winter, Spring, Summer, or Fall: a FeedBurner feed is always in Cézanne...uh, season.
Take Vernissage TV, for instance. Year-round, this video podcast takes you to art exhibitions and events to provide insight into the social side of the world of art. Gallery Hopper, likewise, is a guide to the best of fine art photography, galleries and events specifically in New York City.
Art museums across the globe are hopping on the blogging bandwagon, as reported by Sebastian Chan of Powerhouse Museum and Jim Spadaccini of Ideum who recently published a study on the issue. Museums artfully burning feeds include the Grace Museum, the Brooklyn Museum, the Elizabeth A. Sackler Center for Feminist Art, Victoria and Albert Museum, and the Smithsonian American Art Museums. Keeping an eye on them all is E-Artcasting, a research project all about sociable technologies in art museums.
Of the "Art Shall Be Both Seen AND Heard" school come several museum podcasts. The San Jose Art Museum has an Artist of the Week podcast, the SFMOMA's Artcast, the Museum of Glass GlassCast, Henry Artcast, and the Las Vegas Museum of Art podcast and newsfeed. Guess what happens in Vegas (Degas?), doesn't always stay in Vegas after all, in this mixed up world of distributed media.
Can FeedBurner deliver art feeds from places other than museums? You bet we Kandinsky do that too! Brush up on a spectrum of design disciplines from architecture and landscaping to fashion and dress from Dezeen, MoCo Loco, and Design Hub. Some artists are joining creative forces through feeds such as the Wooster Collective, We Make Money Not Art, and Worldwide Women Artists. Speaking of our wide world, New Climates presents new and existing artworks responding to the relationship between art and global climate change. Another posse of artists have come together in Hidden City Arts, using BuzzBoost to promote several of their feeds throughout their website in a cross-pollination effort that puts Van Gogh's Sunflowers to shame.
Have an appetite for more art? Even tastier than Warhol's soup du jour, BrainyQuote serves up an Art Quote of the Day that will feed your need for words of wisdom about art and by artists. Or purchase some real life printed books on the matter from David Krut Publishing and Art Resource. Wash it all down with a beverage from Art of the Drink, where you can wet your whistle with a flavorful how-to video podcast on mixing cocktails. How Dali-cious!

I know that this is picky of me, but I can't help myself - it's 'Jackson Pollock' not 'Jackson Pollack'.
Sorry.
One of the coolest post I've read in the past few months.
