...Cross-pollination is at the heart of Adelaide-based Fiona Hall's work, and her botanical passions have often brought her in close proximity to Aboriginal Australia. This is cleverly suggested in "Prism" by placing her cabinet of glass-beaded native flora and fauna, Understorey, 1999-2004, in the anteroom to a gallery of work by mainly women artists from the Central Australian settlement of Utopia, whose riotous desert-flower colorfields appear to wink at Hall's work...

This singular Sierra Leone?born artist, whose mutant monsters speak of a genetically engineered future, seems more interested in nurture than Australian nature. And while Japan's appetite for cute creatures makes it easy to see why the curators found them irresistible, it's difficult relating them to the rest of the show...
...historically torpid political milieu, fusion voting has provided a much needed shot in the arm.

This weeks result with only part of the team competing came on the heels of an impressive performance a week ago. A week ago in the Pre-Nationals open race in Terre Haute, Ind., the Crimson men took home the victory, while the women took sixth in their side of the draw. The meet was presented...
