		<description><![CDATA[There is a delightful story in this week&#8217;s New Yorker about the Dutch artist Theo Jansen, who has been developing large scale &#8220;beach creatures&#8221; that autonomously trek along Holland&#8217;s sandy shores. Ostensibly envisioned with an ecological purpose (to retain beach), for some reason the pure lines and spindly white constructions (lots of PVC) evoke recollections [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve got to confess a real enjoyment of sepia-toned, shadow-suffused and steam-filled imagery of the Victorian period. There&#8217;s a rich mystery locked up in the works of the period &#8211; from the early greats like Mary Shelley, Jules Verne, and HG Wells to contemporary conjurers like China Mieville, William Gibson, and possibly even Neal Stephenson [...]]]></description>

I&#8217;d gotten the basic idea from the remarkable Victoria Romanoff in Ithaca, New York at a meet up we&#8217;d had years ago.This go around, I&#8217;d found a couple of pricier washboards with glass rubbing plates.

Layers of color like lacquer, applied carefully and used sculpturally &#8211; paper, cloth, plaster, tape, paint, wire &#8211; you name it, its there. Its also deliciously abstract &#8211; a lollipop that fell onto a sprinkles-covered ice [...]]]></description>

Its going to be, &#8220;the largest exhibition of contemporary art&#8221; in the U.S. &#8211; ever.

		<description><![CDATA[While I was in Ithaca last week, I had the pleasure of meeting Victoria Romanoff, restorationist and artist. One of the pieces of &#8216;functional salvage art&#8217; she introduced me to was her &#8220;washboard table.&#8221; The idea is elegantly simple: for an open-faced (front and back) table, join two antique washboards together with a top surface [...]]]></description>

Touring her converted firestation &#8211; which serves as her home, studio, and office &#8211; I was struck by how full and well-lived her life is, [...]]]></description>
