there is no outside of the [art] market

I posted here 2 days ago about a discussion & exhibition of Eve Armstrong/Gretchen Albrecht - finding yesterday it is now

- automatically? - & without asking me what I think about doing so -

on http://ocula.com/art-news/browse/2011/11/eve-armstrong-and-gretchen-albrecht-at-michael-let/ -

art-collectors-dealers info sheet - compare the news items on Reuters reports on individual stock-prices - with indications of recommendations to buy or sell

forget criticism, forget commentary on the state of the culture, replace with today's price quotes buyers/sellers, last price, yields ... 

in these circumstances, why do I do this for free? even my copyright in this [where's that gone?] is barely an asset for tax or estate purposes 

at the coal-face - in spite of the personal danger of publishing critical views [of just about anything] - explosions, mainly - I don't make 2 sous in return for the annual cost of this blog - & I won't carry ads, same as I won't stuff your private letter-box with them.

 

This here is a complaint, of course, but more than that, a statement to clarify for readers the conditions of writing/publishing.
