Like you and I, David Hockney also enjoys playing on his tablet.

Haunted by the institutional white cube? Not sure where to start showing your work? Here is a run-down of artist-run exhibition spaces in Chicago, featuring friendly faces from SAIC.

The museum's clash with its employees continues, as the artists join the workers.

Walid Raad is leading over 100 artists, curators and others in a boycott of the Guggenheim Abu Dhabi amidst reports that laborers are being exploited in constructing the museum.
