2007-10-11 13:15  Illy Cafe In Shipping Container
For some time, designers, architects and builders all over the world have tinkered with the idea of turning excess standard shipping containers into living quarters. With the push of a button, the house opens in 90 seconds like a flower and transforms from a compact container into a fully furnished and functional space with a kitchen, dining room, bathroom, bedroom, living room and library. All materials used in the Biennale house were recyclable or recycled. Holiday shoppers milling about the T …

Cara Ober reports with a tour of Robert Storr's show at the Venice Biennale. I'm bemused by the way she writes off a room of Elizabeth Murray's paintings with an "I hated them," but you should give her a read she's very accessible and touches briefly on a lot of the artists in the show.

2007-08-25 09:39  Contemporary Art Galleries in Tokyo: The Next Generation
The Contemporary Japanese art world used to be tagged with the unapologetic disclaimer that it was being run by a reasonably young crowd. However, as that was almost ten years ago, those forerunners aren't so young anymore, and the same can be said about the artists they represent. As of late, there has been a solid number of second-generation galleries opening up across Tokyo. Misako & Rosen run by Misako and Jeffrey Rosen, whose management skills were cultivated by their experiences of working …

Critics, alas, are expected to speak about art like adults, not like children. Once in a while, however, even a critic sees something that makes maintaining the usual front seem pointless.
