Media art is an established field with its own institutions, festivals, and collections. Video installation, digital and computational work, sound art, and the whole tradition running from early video through to contemporary generative practice. Art house carries a separate and equally useful set of associations: independent cinema, curated programming, and a willingness to … [Read more...] about mediaarthouse.com

unclaimedart.com
Unclaimed art is a real and surprisingly deep subject. Storage unit contents, estate remainders, abandoned consignments, works held by institutions with no traceable owner, and the whole category of pieces whose provenance broke somewhere along the way. There's a serious side and a commercial one. The serious side is restitution and provenance research, an active field with … [Read more...] about unclaimedart.com

Infographics sit between design, journalism, and data analysis, and the best of them are genuinely art. The field has a serious tradition running from Playfair and Nightingale through Tufte to the current generation of data journalists. Infographicart.com names that intersection. It fits a design studio, a portfolio and inspiration gallery, a marketplace for visualisation … [Read more...] about infographicart.com
pinacoteca.net
A pinacoteca is a picture gallery, specifically a collection of paintings. The word is Italian, used across Italy, Spain, Portugal, and Latin America, and it names some of the most important collections in Europe: the Pinacoteca di Brera in Milan, the Pinacoteca Vaticana, the Pinacoteca do Estado in São Paulo. That institutional weight is the asset. The word reads as a serious … [Read more...] about pinacoteca.net

Selling art as a side income is now a mainstream activity. Print-on-demand, commissions, digital products, craft marketplaces, and social platforms have made it possible to earn from creative work without leaving a day job, and enormous numbers of people are trying. What they need is practical guidance: pricing, licensing, taxes, platforms, marketing, and the business side … [Read more...] about sidehustleart.com
tography.org
Tography is the tail of photography, videography, cartography, and every other -ography in the language. On its own it reads as the act of recording, stripped of what's being recorded. That abstraction is the appeal. A studio, collective, or platform working across photography and video doesn't have to choose a name that privileges one over the other. The suffix covers all of … [Read more...] about tography.org
posterial.com
Posterial is a coined adjective off poster, formed the way English makes editorial from editor and tutorial from tutor. It sounds like a word that ought to exist. That makes it a good brand for anything in the poster and print business without being literally descriptive. A print shop, a design studio, a poster marketplace, a framing service, or a magazine about graphic … [Read more...] about posterial.com
photogalleries.org
Photo galleries means two things and both have money in them. It's the physical gallery, the space that shows and sells photographic work, and it's the online gallery, the portfolio format that every photographer needs. The physical reading suits a directory of photography galleries, a listings and exhibitions resource, an association of gallerists, or a market publication. … [Read more...] about photogalleries.org
anamorphic.org
Anamorphic means two very specific and very interesting things. In cinema it's the lens format that squeezes a wide image onto standard film and produces the horizontal flares and oval bokeh that people associate with the look of a movie. In art it's the technique of distorted perspective, where an image only resolves when viewed from the right angle or in a curved … [Read more...] about anamorphic.org
biennial.net
A biennial is the flagship format of the contemporary art world. Venice, São Paulo, Whitney, Berlin, Sharjah, Istanbul, Documenta's neighbours. Dozens of cities run one, they take years to organise, and they move enormous amounts of money and attention. There's no central place covering them. A listings and calendar site, a criticism platform, a database of past editions and … [Read more...] about biennial.net
