...these printed works of art. The self-reflexivity of the media as mechanical, as reproducible, speaks to the subject matter that can be inscribed by it, as we see in Warhol’s “JFK Close Up in black” from his 1968 portfolio, FLASH. Here the subject is reflection upon the pixilation of the image itself, in all its power and ubiquity, the dot matrix print of a last televised smile is blown up to a size which sets it in a new focus–the previous image is lost, the idea...
...single most approachable person to ever ride the New York City subway. Just one glance in my direction assures harried tourists that I ought to be their first choice to ask the way to the Staten Island Ferry or the Museum of Natural History. The deaf mute selling the flash cards featuring basics of American Sign Language always navigates his way through a sea of commuters and right into my lap.

The WB's Jack & Bobby (Sundays, 9 p.m. E.T.) follows two teen brothers: older, athletic Jack McAllister (Matt Long) and younger, asthmatic Bobby (Logan Lerman). Through a framing device--flash-forward excerpts from a political documentary--we learn that in 2040, Bobby will be elected President. But to get to the White House he must first overcome the smothering influence of his lefty professor mother Grace (Christine Lahti) and the stigma of being the biggest dork in his high school. Grace is idealistic but willful--really...
