A brief list from Lorna Mills
1. AA Bronson for fighting the good fight and repeatedly requesting the removal of his magnificent and heartbreaking piece, "Felix, June 5, 1994", from the "Hide/Seek" exhibition at the Smithsonian's National Portrait Gallery, until such time as the David Wojnarowicz video is reinstated in its full unedited version. He has also requested that Marc Mayer, head of the National Gallery of Canada honour his moral rights by formally requesting the removal of his piece. (the piece is on loan from the National Gallery's permanent collection)
From an article in the Globe & Mail:
In an interview with The Globe and Mail Friday, Mr. Mayer said he hoped, “informally, unofficially ... they do actually withdraw the work” of their own volition.” “I do understand AA Bronson’s position. I share his discouragement. I don’t necessarily share his strategy.” From an official professional and institutional standpoint, though, these are not “the circumstances that would make me wish to enact the kill clause we always have in these agreements. ... I don’t want the free exchange of art between public institutions be politicized in this way.”
(It's a strategy that wouldn't pay off for any Gallery Director's future career ambitions.)

2. Bravo's Work of Art
Just kidding, it sucked giant donkey dicks, and I'll watch the next season, but it did inspire a brilliant collection of animated GIFs by Wesley Miller
3. Katie Bethune-Leamen's Dazzle Shizzle at MKG 127
Gouzenko Hoods #2, #8 and #3 (It’s A Thing Covered By A Thing That Thereby Becomes Another Thing)
4. Some art websites I started looking at regularly this year:

5. I want this painting by Joseph Hughes showing right now at Chris Ashley's project space, Some Walls
Joseph Hughes: 2004-D I (JENKINS GREEN) 2004 Acrylic on paper, 12 x 11 in 30.5 x 28 cm
6. OXYCODONE!!!!!! and British Nerd TV
I got a bit sick at the end of October, but who cares because: OXYCODONE!!!!!!OXYCODONE!!!!!!OXYCODONE!!!!!!. I was so very very happy for a while and devoted my days to watching history documentaries like Nazi Collaborators, a six part series called Apocalypse.The Second World War, At Home with the Georgians, Edwardian Farm and Wartime Secrets with Harry Harris .
