Your favourite websites for staying current with art, design, and culture?
I would like to rebuild a collection of blogs/websites to get inspired by and stay current with the art world. The bookmarks I used to have have since been lost or deleted for poor content. I have considered tumblr, but feel overwhelmed by the volume available and wouldn't know where to start. Also, I like it when there is some information or an article about what I'm looking at. Please share your favourite curated online resources with me!
I'm interested in:
- any kind of art: 2d/3d/photography/architecture/fashion/music/interior design, etc.
- contemporary works
- works by young and established artists
- non-traditional/avant garde/conceptual/thought-provoking
(Please nothing cutesy/glamourous/emo/self-identifies as "indie".)

I like things magazine, though I do find the format a bit unfriendly.

I like Dude Craft a lot, despite the name. He blogs about inspiring art, design, and photography he finds on other sites in almost an aggregator-type fashion. Very graphic- and attribute-heavy.

Google Reader's Explore option suggests posts from Design*Sponge for me regularly. My friend Kate has a site called Pokate that highlights sculpture and materials and organically-inspired design.

FFFFound is pretty good (although there is certainly some cutesy/glamourous/emo/self-identified "indie" things to be found there.)

Best answer: If something is an interesting piece of new media art, it's going to be at Today and Tomorrow. It's low-noise and super consistent.
