Among the beneficiaries of the latest round of funding from New York's Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts are exhibitions devoted to Alberto Burri, R.H. Quaytman, Walid Raad and Arlene Shechet. The $4 million, or £2.6 millon in grants will go to more than 40 organizations, that will range from New York museums including the Museum of Modern Art and the Guggenheim, to organizers of the Raad and Burri shows, respectively - to non-profit organizations like Atlanta's Burnaway, which publishes an art magazine that trains young writers.
A fact which artlyst considers to be a worthy beneficiary, especially considering Warhol's acceptance of media in its entirety - including, of course, the creation of his own magazine 'Interview' - and Squeaky Wheel/Buffalo Media Resources, in Buffalo, New York, which promotes and supports film, video and new media arts.
