...Rings, Cloud shows that he projects homosexual lust onto any friendship between members of the same sex. It's a pity he apparently has no concept of intimate friendship without a sexual aspect. Like too many people these days, he sees the world through a prism that puts the focus on sexuality. Joe Smongeskishrewsbury, Massachusetts...

Tucked away within the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston (MFA), the small in-house exhibition takes a kaleidoscopic view of its subject, and spans six millennia and nearly as many continents in 66 objects and 2 rooms. The show is now on display at the MFA through May 4, 2008. In the exhibition’s introductory text, Clifford...
