...What have we expected art to do for us in the last quarter century? On the one hand, the Time Boxes seem utterly a product of the 1990s, in their disregard for salability, in the intimate nature of their intent. The boxes are found objects, but personalized as specific gifts for a specific recipient. On the other hand, the project does have the '80s element of hype, the building-up of an event, the sole purpose of which is to create something tangible out of what began as a private activity.

Although the case is closed, the verdict provided no sense of closure. Nor have public figures been able to offer an adequate explanation. The Diallo case has left America with a question mark--if the police...
