(I hope this doesn't post 3 times, since this is the third time I have tried.)

Hi.

I get Rhizome's emails, but don't get out to the site much, so maybe these are already in place - but I'd like to see some reviews of the events, etc., and maybe some online tutorials/discussions of how to look at art, what's art, and so forth.

I live in the Midwest USA, around Joplin, MO, and almost all we have here are pictures (photography and painting), though occasionally there are fiber art and mixed media shows, with touches of sculpture and pottery.

I have to stay local; don't even get to Springfield, much less Kansas City or Tulsa/Oklahoma City. I look at Rhizome's emails to see what I'm missing :).

So, it would be nice for me to read some factual reviews. 'This is what this looked like,' and/or 'This is what this sounded like,' for example.

I have a dial up connection, so using YouTube and Vimeo can be lengthy. I appreciate them, but reading is faster, especially with the amount of emails that I get from rhizome.

Maybe, to save space, you could only keep the reviews etc. for two years?

Also, what I know about art you could fit in a thimble and have room for Jupiter left over. I'm learning - slowly - about older art (the great painters, etc.), but I get lost in modern and not so modern.

I'm not sure whether to try to start a discussion on Rhizome about artists and/or referring to websites that aren't Rhizome.

Keep up the good work!

Theresa
