RD Report

We are on the doorstep of a number of iterative improvements for 24 Hours of Art.

If you've been reading closely, you've likely seen some experimentation with "Artwork of the Day", as well as the "From The Culture" section. They're part of a larger thought process of making the Report a next, best version of itself.

We'll start with a new website framework. Likely tomorrow. Onward!

Catch Up:
This week's The DAM Show welcomed Chikai for a Grand Skull Exhibition retrospective and Pho for a conversation spanning art, philosophy and process. Watch the recording here.
