"Cat Among the Pigeons"
Cat Among the Pigeons is our latest blogger. She is a rambler and a raconteur, and while not quite sure what those are supposed to mean, likes the sound of it.
He Said, She Said...
In the beginning, there was no need to hold back. They could talk for hours, about anything.
If she had a problem with him, she would tell him and if he had a problem with her, he would tell her.
Being he or she was easy - they always knew what the other was thinking.
Then one day, though neither can pinpoint the exact moment, he decided it was best to keep his thoughts to himself and she did the same - some would say it just made life easier.
Time went by, he slowly lost touch with what she was thinking and she slowly lost touch with what he was thinking - some would say this made life impossible.
Today he or she doesn't have a clue what the other thinks... To bridge the gap, every day we will pick an art-related* topic to discuss.
He will speak his mind. She will speak her mind.
Will they ever see eye to eye and begin to understand each other again? Or will she jet back to Venus defeated while he sails home to Mars, with his tail between his legs?
* defining this is like answering the age old question "What is Art?", so we won't!

"Zaydoun"
Zaydoun is a blogger, smartass, agitator. Thinks the art world is full of poseurs but what does he know?!
"Flâneuse"
Flâneuse moved to Paris four years ago to seek out the bohemian life. She lived an artist's existence in Montmartre; taking a lot of photographs and studying philosophy, until the time came to move on. Nowadays she still takes photos, but flatly refuses to ever read Heidegger again. Instead, she writes about art and music, which is far more agreeable.
"The Not-So-Silent Observer"
Growing up in a world filled with fairytales and dragons and where Tinkerbell was her best friend, she used to look at the world from behind a looking glass.
After years of silent observation, she feel its time to say what she thinks about everything she sees.
Its time to end the silence.
"Bint Warraq"
Reporting live from everywhere and interrupting your scheduled program to break your thoughts. Bint Warraq derives from the revolutionary school of thought; (and not in the "guerrilla war-faring" sense but in the "so far outside of the box that people inside the box look like ants" sense) and is self-admittedly rusty (and we don't mean tetanus bearing nail).

Enjoying the concept of your blog. I find it especially interesting because my work seeks to bring people together through art in public spaces, to interact when/where they normally wouldn't. This blog does that on an even more personal level. Just shows you the power art can have.
Exactly C, we hope you continue enjoying the posts and hope that you like the website once it launches in January.
Stay tuned and please spread the word.
