Extractions: As one of this country's established leaders in supporting and presenting contemporary Asian art, the Asia Society and Museum has commissioned eight major new works from nine Asian and Asian American artists as part of the renovation and expansion of its galleries and public spaces. The pieces were unveiled on November 17, at the opening of the Asia Society's redesigned world headquarters at 725 Park Avenue in New York. The works are long-term installations in the Society's public spaces, and include a large-scale wall mural, seating arrangements in the main lobby, a neon and water sculpture in the new Garden Court, and other installations throughout the building. Artists selected for the commissions are Heri Dono Yong Soon Min Vong Phaophanit Navin Rawanchaikul Nilima Sheikh Shahzia Sikander Sarah Sze Xu Bing and Xu Guodong . The Asia Society and Museum has chosen this exceptionally diverse group of artists to reflect the range of contemporary art being produced in Asia, and by artists of Asian descent. Many of the artists selected are already well known in the U.S.; for others the commission is their first introduction to a broad audience outside Asia. Five of the artists are men, four women; they come from Laos, Indonesia, Pakistan, India, China, Thailand, Korea, and Japan. All of them create contemporary pieces rather than working strictly within traditional Asian styles and media.

Détente invites a reconsideration of Russian contemporary art being viewed as esoteric or subservient to the West. A series of live events and public conversations engaging contemporary Russian art and society will accompany the exhibition. See attached for film program information. Nina Zaretskaya lives and works in Moscow and New York. She is a documentary producer and founding director of Art Media Center TV Gallery (1991), a Moscow institution responsible for the appearance and development of video art and the art of new technologies in Russia. Nina Zaretskaya has curated and organized numerous exhibitions including Total Recall (dedicated to Phillip K. Dick), This Other World of Ours (video installations by Young British Artists), and Medium is the Message (presentation of work by Nam June Paik), introducing contemporary foreign art to Russian audiences.

Extractions: Edge of Motion - works by Bjarne Werner Sørensen In these new paintings movement is a key issue through layers of linear abstractions. Shapes and lines acquire a musical quality by syncopated, rhythmic movements much like different instruments in a musical composition, color and gesture weave in and out, playing off each other to create layers of space and expand the whole. The interplay and counter-play between improvisation and composition - play and decision - form a tight link between a flowing, uncontrolled chaotic force, and a strong sense of form; a paradox of movement is presented in permanent images. These colorful and vivid works come to life through the depth of layers with threads seemingly weaving these layers together; sometimes growing deep into the background, sometimes spreading a lush web vertically and horizontally across the surface. Though nonfigurative, the works seem to suggest scenery or landscape: is shallow water slipping quietly over coral rocks or is this only in your imagination?

Extractions: Interview by Paula Toppila The Nordic Pavilion is shared between three Nordic countries - Sweden, Norway and Finland - who take it in turns to organise the exhibition and related events. This year's show in the Pavilion in Venice's Giardini della Biennale is being arranged by OCA, the Office for Contemporary Art Norway, based in Oslo. OCA is a new body set up by the Norwegian Ministry of Culture and Ministry of Foreign Affairs in the fall of 2001 for a trial period of three years. Ute Meta Bauer started as the first director in spring 2002 and, she also got the title of Commissioner for the Nordic Pavilion. Last fall, she announced the names of the two Norwegian curators - Anne Karin Jortveit and Andrea Kroksnes both employed at The Museum of Contemporary Art in Oslo - who would select the artists and define the content of the show. In December 2002, after a short but intense period of research in the three countries, the curators announced the artists they had selected to show together in the Nordic Pavilion - Mamma Andersson from Sweden
Extractions: Charles White, Progress of the American Negro , 1939-40, oil on canvas, 5'x13'. Courtesy of Howard University Gallery of Art. He was modest but tough, brilliant but unassuming, tireless but compassionate, strong but understanding and he gained a position and a reputation in the world at large that any man might well envy. Even those who disagreed with him held him in the highest respect. Even those who opposed him never lost faith in his absolute fairness and integrity. And no one could doubt that beneath his extraordinary ability and performance was a driving passion for peace, for justice and for human decency and dignity.

Extractions: Now Playing The Agronomist Bon Voyage Breakin' All The Rules Bulgarian Lovers ... All Listings Art Review Irony Lives This year's polite, eclectic Whitney Biennial featuring less painting than ever demonstrates that post-September 11 reports of the death of irony were greatly exaggerated. By Mark Stevens Mix and match : Julie Moos's (Photo credit: courtesy of Whitney Museum of Modern Art) A t every Whitney Biennial , I think of the poet Randall Jarrell's waspish definition of the novel: a work in prose of a certain length that has something wrong with it. And yet if it's inevitable that the Biennial "has something wrong with it" and we would be strangely disappointed if it did not the exhibition regularly displays certain prosy virtues. Every two years, the Biennial, like a novel of manners, holds up a mirror to the fashionable subjects, approaches, and attitudes of its day. The 2002 model carries on this tradition. Organized by a team led by the Whitney's new curator of contemporary art, Lawrence Rinder, the show includes work by 113 artists and collaborative groups from across the country. It fills three floors of the museum; five of the artists have pieces in Central Park. Many forms of contemporary art are on display notably, extensive collections of Internet-based work and sound and performance art. While browsing through the galleries, you will come upon flickering TV and computer monitors; hear various whines, buzzes, and snatches of music; and walk into rooms where something, you know not what, awaits.
