...will produce a new work for the show, will be joined by Japanese painter-photographer Kazuna Taguchi and almost 40 other artists. BRISBANE: The Asia-Pacific Triennial in Brisbane (Dec. 2 to May 27, 2007) is often dwarfed by the Biennale of Sydney, a 32-year-old extravaganza now classed in the same lofty league as the Venice or São Paolo events.

...many members of the cast or the audience recognized George Martin, who as the group's record producer surely deserves to be called the fifth Beatle? Martin, now 80, had with his son Giles confected the elaborate and imaginative soundscape for Love. When the extravaganza officially opens Friday night, the Martins will be joined by the surviving Beatles, Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr, and by George Harrison's widow Olivia and John Lennon's widow Yoko Ono. My guess is that they'll be pleased and moved...
