Artists Talk On Art
The long-running panel-discussion sessions Artists Talk On Art, originating in New York's SoHo district and presently held at the School of Visual Arts, made their web debut right here, in a special section of the Café devoted to their activities that we opened for them on a pro bono basis in the fall of 1995. Now they've established their own domain name and launched an autonomous site. This includes their calendar of events, other useful information of various kinds, and some serious content: film and video clips from tapes of some of the panels, and transcriptions of others, some of which appeared here initially. We wish them the best of luck on their own.

Virtual Furnace
The online heart and soul of Performance Art: Virtual Furnace, major resource for the artist's-book movement, brought to you by Franklin Furnace, still headed by Martha Wilson, who's still crazy after all these years.

College Art Association
The heart and soul (if there is such) of academic art: the College Art Association. A single small nuclear device planted at its annual conference could wipe out all references to Jean Baudrillard and Luce Irigaray for a decade.

Hallwalls
Here's where Cindy Sherman, Richard Prince, and so many others got their start: Hallwalls in Buffalo, New York.

Worldwide Arts Resources
Possibly the single largest and most useful art-specific online site: Worldwide Arts Resources, which offers 3,000 categories of data to choose from, and a sophisticated search engine to help you find whatever you're looking for.

FineArt Forum
From Mississippi State University comes the FineArt Forum, produced by the Art, Science, and Technology Network, a "virtual organization" that exists only on the Web. Includes an extensive resource directory and an art 'zine.

Los Angeles Country Arts Commission
Out in La-La Land there are 150,000 working artists and 1,000 arts organizations. Visit the web site of the Los Angeles Country Arts Commission to find out 'zup on the Coast. This extensive site includes a resource directory of those arts organizations just mentioned.

Coagula Online
WE at the Café are the very soul(s) of discretion . . . while THEY'RE NOT. And thank God for that, we say. Because gossip is a dirty job, but somebody's got to do it. And no one, absolutely no one, does art-world gossip better than the inquiring minds at Coagula Online, the 'Net version of a wonderfully scruffy newsprint 'zine with a no-holes-barred approach to the politics -- sexual and otherwise -- of the international art scene. They have no shame, and we're all the better for it. Rumor has it that Hilton Kramer relies on them for the straight skinny concerning who's rogering who . . . "The LowDown on High Art" is their slogan, and they deliver.

The First National Church of the Exquisite Panic, Inc.
Do not eat cars! Spiritual guidance and life counsel straight from the Temple of Hilarity of The First National Church of the Exquisite Panic, Inc., galactic headquarters of Orthodox Paganism, the world's first post-millenarian religion, founded by perennial avant-garde artist Robert Delford Brown. We knew him when -- in fact, he was launched into cyberspace right here at the Café. Now he's out to convert the unsuspecting natives to Funkapaganism. To win their confidence, he's adopted a new name: Baba Bubba. Stop in and say "Shit howdy" to him, and be sure to convey our regards. Remember his sage advice: "Never pass up a chance to chow down!"

TalkBack
Edited by critic Robert Atkins, TalkBack is an on-line art-oriented e-'zine with three issues out and archived already, more on the way. Serious (but not pedantic) talk about serious issues.

Journal of Contemporary Art
From the horse's mouth: edited by Klaus Ottmann, the Journal of Contemporary Art specialized in presenting artists' ideas in their own words, mostly via interviews. Those available from back issues include Dan Graham, Christo and Jean-Claude, Leon Golub, Annette Messager, and Charles Henri Ford. Beware the intentionalist fallacy . . .

ArtNetWeb
