Not even a mouse stirring 'round the art world these next couple of weeks. Skipping my way around 'best of 2013' film and music lists it finally occurred to me it may be time to start doing the same for art now. Next week I'll try to assemble some highlights from the year in no particular order. Though Curiously Direct has slowed a bit, hopefully there is enough evidence hiding in there to guide my lackluster memory. 

And I'll try to sneak a couple more Questionnaires out before the year ends. So far there've been 36(!), maybe at fifty there will be a change of format. As always, let me know if you would like to participate/answer some questions...
