As I’ve poked around the art world online, I’ve stumbled across a few good sites for art talk, art presentations, interviews, and panel discussions. I really prefer audio and video material since I can listen to it while I work in my office, but the text stuff is nice to just sit and read occasionally. Now all I need is a wireless laptop so I can read the interviews in a more comfortable chair… or in the bathroom.

• Art Critical / Each month the National Academy and ArtCritical.com bring together three prominent art critics discussing four exhibitions on view in New York museums and galleries. The audio of their discussions are available for download: #1, #2, #3.

• Index Magazine / Founded by Peter Halley (yes, that Peter Halley) and Bob Nickas in 1996, and produced in Halley’s studio in Chelsea, Index features text interviews with figures in art, fashion, literature, film, theater, music, and the rest of that lot.

• The Kit / The Kit (apparently Chicago and Wisconsin based) conducts audio interviews with contemporary artists, critics and musicians.

• The Walker Channel / From the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis, the Walker Channel features live webcasts of Walker programming (lectures, presentations, and readings by artists, scholars, and critics of contemporary art and culture) as well as an archive of past webcasts.

• WPS1 / Put out by PS1 MoMA, WPS1 radio combines “talk and music shows hosted by contemporary writers, artists and musicians with rare historic material that includes the entire audio archive of the Museum of Modern Art.” Personally, I have a hard time navigating their schedule but it sometimes it looks as though it has some tempting programming.

Feel free to let me know of any good resources that you’ve come across.
