I'm fairly certain that financial constraints were in play when it came to including artists outside of the U.S. I do feel that the show succeeds in showing a diverse range of types of blogs and types of artists. . .<BR/><BR/>While the internet extends the exhibition to the entire world, in terms of interacting with the artists and seeing at least pixellated versions of their work, the same old constraints and costs apply to the four exhibition spaces that exist in the "real world" as with any other show.<BR/><BR/>Maybe if the show were to happen again, it might be titled "A Blogger Show". . . <BR/><BR/>What would be magnificent would be "The Blogger Show" with a central web presence, and exhibition spaces on multiple continents, all coordinating exhibitions of artist-bloggers within their geographical region. Well beyond the scope of "The Blogger Show" in its present incarnation, but certainly a wonderful project for someone to take up. Something for the Blogger Biennial. . .Marc Snyderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03913091392879004796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32455371.post-76786553129410796232007-11-13T04:39:00.000-05:002007-11-13T04:39:00.000-05:00Whilst it is pleasing to see the blog presented as...Whilst it is pleasing to see the blog presented as an art form, it is disappointing to discover that its global nature is being overlooked in this exhibition<BR/><BR/>http://printaustralia.blogspot.com/2007/11/blogger-show-usa.htmlblakkbyrdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01398092207513891707noreply@blogger.com
