In Which the Magpie Takes to the Field
De Maria’s field of lightning . . . Thoreau’s “botany boxes” . . . James Schuyler’s salute to the past
De Maria’s field of lightning . . . Thoreau’s “botany boxes” . . . James Schuyler’s salute to the past
The haunting of Rooney Mara . . . a delivery room turned walk-in closet . . . Ain Gordon’s “Radicals in Miniature”
The stuff we talk about after we finish with our weekly outrage.
Puppies . . . daffodils . . . surveillance-proof cloaks
A synthetic desert . . . a forest made of foam . . . the privilege of quiet
Fukushima’s radioactive boars . . . Ovidian transformations . . . Amy Sillman’s “After Metamorphoses”
A dog and her birthday pancake . . . the fate of Old Yeller et al . . . Thomas Roma’s dog shadow photographs
Mike Nichols’s films . . . Hannah Höch’s cut-outs . . . Wallace Stevens’s jar on a hill
Spacepeople perch in trees . . . prisoners in the desert read the stars . . . escalators lead the way to the Big Bang
An island receives an unexpected party . . . a prize is granted . . . a large problem is solved.
