...Then again, Joyce was no Heidi Klum. O.K., Project Runway, Klum's Bravo reality show about fashion designers, is not a masterwork of Western civilization. But it pulls off a rare feat: it makes the creative process entertaining. In Season 1 last winter, a cast of wannabe Vera Wangs squared off in design challenges that included sewing outfits from grocery-store items (the best entries used a lawn chair and cornhusks). In Season 2 (Wednesdays, 10 p.m. E.T.), one designer concocts a dress so audacious it may fall apart on the runway: it's held together by magnets. Other television...

Weisman Art Museum at the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis. The smallish museum concentrates on 20th century American art, and the exterior can be seen as a tough, gleefully manic (that is, American) work of Cubist sculpture or as a giant brushed-stainless-steel popcorn kernel, or as a wizard's castle in some 23rd century fairy tale.

...codependents” with “codefendants”) right after a truly funny misappropriation of Cole Porter and some of the best sound collages in recent memory. The Metal Fingered Villain is definitely good at what he does, but this isn’t his masterwork. Here his prolific release schedule works against him, as there are so many other Doom albums to compare his latest against. Virgins to his work are fully advised to check out February’s Madvillainy first. If MM..Food? is a letdown, it’s only because...
