Interesting article on Roxy Paine in the NYT's yesterday. what I like about Roxy and his work is that there is a very idiomatic and autodidactic method to what he does. He considers systems and finds a place between the natural and unnatural and there is something refreshing about an artist of his stature who is both original and without an MFA... although there is nothing wrong with art schools I do think it is important to note there are "other ways" . Here's PORT's review of Paine's show in Portland many years ago.

The Menil has Kurt Schwitters Merzbau on display. It is Schwitters first US solo show in 25 years.

Check out Jean Nouvel on the CBS morning show. Kinda sad how New York tends to stunt major architectural statements like the MoMA tower or create terrible things like the Freedom Tower. Besides, cutting off 200 feet from the Nouvel tower seems a tad arbitrary in Midtown.

Tyler Green considers a rather unexciting apocalypse... where Miami Beach comes to Palm Beach. The real story is how uninteresting the whole concept seems on a curatorial level.
