...real by itself just doesn't do it for them. They're working on two unlikely projects: developing ceramic tiles that can change color and creating entrances to the New York City subway that look inviting. And consider Rashid's take on the outlandishly curvaceous, Frank Gehry--designed Guggenheim Bilbao: "It's a very contemporary and fascinating building but still somewhat classical, rooted in the world as we know it." But he can fix that: "Wouldn't it be fantastic if it revolved, if the skin mutated, if you could tell what kind of shows were going on inside...
What she means is that the world threw its hat in the air for Frank Gehry's Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, Spain, it said yes to Daniel Libeskind's angular plans for the World Trade Center site, so it is good and ready for her.

Dia: Beacon offers some of the most potent art experiences to be found anywhere, in some of the most well-considered settings. But it was conceived largely to present difficult work for long durations in one space. And for much of what it offers, difficult...
...exclusively in the ancient Basque language, and most Basques see its shutdown as an attack on their unique linguistic and cultural heritage. Tens of thousands turned out in San Sebastián to protest the paper's shutdown, and last week more than 1,000 university journalism students in Bilbao came to hear Otamendi and three other journalists decry the closure. On the other side is the Madrid government of Prime Minister José María Aznar, which regards the shuttering of Egunkaria - like last year's banning of the political party Batasuna for alleged close ties...
