Well it’s Over. I was going to write a little something about:

1. All the blogger hype about being on-site and in the action and then the big No-Show.

2. The new idea that the powers that be will be selling you. That what’s happening at fairs are more than sales figures….um, ok. It will always be the measuring stick, remember we are dealing with the art world. Lots of sheep in this pen. But I understand that you have to have some sort of different spin to be interesting.

3. The idea that all the bloggers on site would make this years event and the surrounding events more transparent. Um, nope. (but I can understand their hesitancy, rumor has it this is the post that got the Office uninvited to artLA)

4. I was going to write about the attempt not to give bloggers VIP/press passes but after the big no-show I think everybody was just looking for the free pass.

5. Hate to break it to you but the more "traditional" media (Artinfo, Art newspaper, etc.) scooped all the bloggers. Why did you need the WiFi again??

But whats the point, and anyway when you get controversial people get mad at you. Bloggers seem to be really good at dishing out critiques…just not getting them.

Sounds like a lot of people made a lot of money though. See you in Miami next year.
