TIME correspondents move around as often as diplomats; the average tour of duty in any one bureau is about three years. The reason: to bring a fresh eye and newly tuned ear to their reporting. In the past few months a full dozen of them have switched locale and sometimes climate, language and hemisphere as well. David Aikman probably faces the stiffest challenge at the moment -establishing a new Eastern European bureau in a 100-year-old farmhouse in West Berlin. He calls it "a forced learning process in the simultaneous skills of driver, messenger, clerk, telex operator and office...
...Nice table," he murmured to the butler when he saw the fresh flowers and sparkling crystal. He decided to sit in the chair opposite the one assigned him. Calling for "a cold American beer," he issued a clearly audible apology to the California wine industry, whose Colombard had already been poured.

Throughout the '70s his work-painting, sculpture and cockeyed hybrid -has provided a winding, mythic narrative about travel and exploration, circling back on a landscape choked with color and crammed with eccentric heroes. Each new show provides a fresh chapter. Ferrer's sources are often literary: Pigafetta's chronicle of Magellan's explorations, for instance. His materials are a parade of incongruities -neon tubes and stuffed anacondas, old dinghies and melting ice, dry leaves and wild-dog skins, plastic roses, canoes made of rusty wire, maps that turn into masks, and drums, beads, burlap...
