...direction...relationships have taken and whether or not they’ve continued,” Avakian writes, “has largely been influenced by the political and ideological direction and content of my life and of the other person’s life.” The concept of a loving soul mate has no meaning, I suppose, when the presence of the partner’s soul is in doubt...
...nostalgia for the lost east, dubbed Ostalgie, was neatly encapsulated in the 2003 hit film Goodbye Lenin!, a sweet-tempered comedy about a son who protects the feelings of his ailing mother by pretending the Wall is still standing and the G.D.R. is intact.

This idea of working on that scale with that kind of prominence is not a new thing." While the Aboriginal concept of the Dreaming "forces one to think differently, and in a less linear way, about the relationship between creativity and form in art," as anthropologist Howard Morphy wrote, a natural entry point for the building is the bark painting tradition of Arnhem Land...
