Reviews: this category of my blog includes articles in which I review other artists’ work or other things.
Is Haley Morris-Cafiero a photographer?

Or is she a performer? Or a conceptual artist? Maybe the question should be “does it matter what we call her seeing as her work is so poignant?” It’s a fair point, but I do think that her title is worth discussing.
Civil rights and multipotentialites

Nature’s case for marriage equality

In arguments in front of the Supreme Court this past week, the legality of same-sex marriage was discussed in terms of the “basic biological fact” of heterosexual reproduction. Happily, scientist and author David George Haskell didn’t let that misdirection go unchallenged.
Speaker of the conference

Where originality resides / Où l’on trouve l’originalité

The fact that Animal Lives by Danish artist Humon and my Crime Against Nature have similar starting points only makes both projects more original, not less so. Le fait que Animal Lives par l’artiste danoise Humon et mon Crime contre nature ont le même point de départ rend les deux projets plus originaux et non pas moins.
On being boinged

My book Crime Against Nature was featured on BoingBoing today! And the large amount of traffic which that article sent my way meant that I had to reconsider the way I was making the e-version of the book available.
Hanna Rosin and the end of men

Hanna Rosin’s ideas may be controversial for reason, but that doesn’t mean that her new book isn’t worth a read.
