...underneath connect to a huge monitor where guns go off and gore flies. Beyond, a triumphal arch of polystyrene take-out food cartons leads to a vast gallery filled with dozens of movie and video screens, paintings, photographs, sculptures, installations and other objets d'art - a swirling kaleidoscope of color and sound. Anticipating by six months France's 2004 cultural "Year of China," the exhibit offers an overview of contemporary Chinese art, with nearly 100 works by 50 artists, ages 28 to 48, along with a spectacular 80-sq-m scale model of Beijing and a fascinating French collection...
...most celebrated artists, respected for a life spent pursuing her own singular vision. The first-ever overview of her 40-year career at Tate Britain (which runs until Sept. 28) shows how she rose above the Op Art fad. Monochrome mutates into color, and simple dots and triangles morph into ripples and barley-sugar twists, always following an internal logic. You can see her refining a theme, then moving on in a new direction, returning to an earlier obsession or throwing several ideas together. Her entirely abstract work seems self-contained, but retains links with the real world, says curator...
...spots - the afterimages of the black areas. Some of the early works, like the field of triangles Tremor (1962), seem to exist in three dimensions - to reside on a warped canvas.

Later, elements that ought to be 3-D (twisted threads, lattices) look flat; those that ought to be flat (stripes, waves) bulge or recede. After bursting into color in 1967, Riley used the way the eye sees the ghost of a shade's opposite (green-red, turquoise-orange) to make...
Similarly, Building on Diversity (BOND), a group oriented toward social activities for gays, used April as an attempt to raise its campus profile, hanging eye-catching, full-color posters that featured a set of attractive blond-haired, blue-eyed twins. A guerrilla stickering campaign, presumably orchestrated by other LGBT students on campus, quickly targeted these posters, calling them evidence that BOND was a sexist, racist and classist movement toward gay normalization...
...iridescent silver ink features short stories about robots or space. Using a varied range of styles and sensibilities, it completely defies the genre stereotypes associated with sci-fi. The other standout anthology was the mammoth 350-page ?Kramer?s Ergot? number four (Avodah/Alternative Comics; $25). Printed in full color, it gives some of the medium?s edgiest (and youngest) artists the opportunity to break out of the muddy world of Kinko?s photocopies and indulge themselves...
