Ever since Rod Blagojevich was roused out of bed one cold December morning, federal prosecutors have done their best to portray their colorful corruption case against the now former Illinois governor in the starkest possible terms. Normally tight-lipped U.S. Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald declared that Blagojevich, who was caught on tape allegedly trying to sell Barack Obama's Senate seat, had embarked on a "political corruption crime spree [that would] make Lincoln roll over in his grave." When the actual indictment came down April 2, the government was much more low-key, with no accompanying press conference or statement...

However, as the growing population continues to suck water out in wells, Mexico City is sinking down into the old lake bed at a rate of about three inches a year. This downward plunge puts extra pressure on water distribution pipes, which are now so leaky they lose about 40% of liquid before it even reaches homes...
...both a witness and a participant. “I like to put the onus of the experience on the viewer,” he explains. Such interaction is both physical and intellectual. His 2001 installation, “Sticky Fingers,” features a large bed covered in a faux-fur blanket—evocative, Biggers says, of contemporary representations of “pimp” culture. Viewers were invited to sit down or lie on the bed. By the time the viewer-turned-participant gets up to leave the gallery, “The work...
