...form (the rising and falling rhythm of Breath, 2000) and color (the enlightening journey of Fade, 2003). Her groups, which the artist keeps carefully documented in photographs, are growing. In 2004, for instance, Hanssen Pigott placed ten trails of 20-odd vessels in a display that curved along a beach in Cornwall, England, with sand, surf and ceramics commingling. Sadly, Caravan hasn't made it into the present show, but The Beatles have.

Fans watch Laguna Beach, for instance, not for facts about LC, Kristin and Stephen's lives but for a gorgeously shot, engrossing story of the envy, entanglements and casual cruelties of rich, hot teenagers. That view of reality TV may veer close to the James Frey "essential truth" defense, but, let's face it, Blind Date does...

When figure skater Sasha Cohen decided to buy her first house, she picked an idyllic abode in Laguna Beach, Calif. With views of the Pacific Ocean on one side and rolling canyons on the other, it was the perfect location for the élite-level skater to repair to as she prepared for her second Olympic Games. There was only one problem. When the rains came, Cohen learned that the beauty and charm of the house hid a major flaw: it had been built on a shaky foundation and was in danger of sliding away...
