Almost two years ago, Page 291 stopped updating. A number of times I thought about posting some kind of explanation–but then I wouldn’t completely give up on coming back to the blog, so I put off the explanation…and just let 291 languish.
The reasons I stopped updating are, as they say, overdetermined. First, I […]
I posted a very short recommendation for Bruce Yonemoto’s NSEW at Alexander Gray Associates back in February (here). The brand-new just-hit-newsstands-everywhere July/August issue of ART PAPERS carries my more extended reflection on Yonemoto’s work. To read it, you’ll have to buy it–so get a copy at your local bookstore and check it out. […]
I’ll be traveling for the next week. I might have enough access for sporadic updates, but until then, enjoy the blogroll and the following links.
More great coverage of PhotoEspaña–this time on landscape photographers–from WMMNA. I found at least two projects I didn’t know about–by Joachim Koester and Simon Starling–that look worth more time […]

Page 291 celebrates its first birthday today. Thanks to everyone for reading! I’ve been a little bit M.I.A. recently, falling back on links instead of reviews, commentary, etc. That should change next week, although summer is obviously a lighter season and I’ll be moving slightly outside the city in […]

I’m traveling through Thursday, with only spotty internet access. If I can find things worth posting about long-distance, and I can count on a connection for long enough to post, I will. Otherwise, keep checking back at the end of the week.
Sorry to disappoint, but it looks like 291 will have to be put on hold throughout the month of December. Check back after the holidays for more regular coverage and commentary on visual culture.
291 doesn’t really do marketing, but…
The latest edition of Afterimage, the excellent journal of media arts and cultural criticism, is now out in stores. In this issue, among other great content largely focused on digital media, you’ll find an essay I wrote about Facebook and its impact on vernacular photography entitled “The Impersonal Album: […]
Welcome! The purpose of the Page 291 blog is to provide accessible commentary on contemporary visual culture, with a special emphasis on photography. Page 291 will highlight established and emerging artists, discuss relevant books, museum shows, and gallery openings, and comment on other visual aspects of society as a whole.
