...sidewalk is broad in Central Square and people often stop in its middle or on its edges, so the general flow has to meander around these bunched-up pedestrians who have recognized each other as Greek or Spanish-speaking and who want to exchange news before they rejoin the crowd, which, it seems to me, is mostly English-speaking. I'm startled by the number of old people. At the intersection of River St. and Massachusetts Ave. there is a triangular island with a row of benches along its base; old men sit there in the evening with their hands...

...finite space, with place and solidity rendered through perspective and tone, that we find it hard to grasp the forms of Islamic art−its "arabesques," those complicated embellishments that twine like morning-glories across every surface, an undulant line branching into unimaginably complicated mazes, knots, overlays, repeats and meander patterns. One is faced, not by another decorative style, but by a wholly different notion of space and substance...

...Unfortunately, the Newport show is short on earthworks -simply because land there costs too much. There is one piece by Richard Fleischner, in the grounds of Chateau-sur-Mer, that shows exactly the kind of unpretentious but intelligent relation that an earthwork can have to its environment: an undulating meander maze, a barely noticeable ripple on the lawn, covered with sod grass.

In sum, the "Monumenta" project discloses a great deal about the survival...

...Village Architect Erwin Heinle that their temporary home is a "Babylon supplied with all the facilities, the distractions, the amenities to make the visitors forget that they are cooped up in a golden ghetto." The most striking features of the village are the huge color-coordinated "media pipes" that meander throughout the compound at a height of 15 feet; their colors not only lead athletes to their proper buildings but convey power, water and taped music. The starkly modern design and easy atmosphere of the village suggest a kind of Op art campus where the athletes take community sunbaths, refresh...

...everything around you clouds and light moving across the mesa the highway lost as a thirsting arroyo, brief and fearful potential, one can run across any land easiest in the arroyos-the length greater, but the water does it because it is the only way-if not meander, then a tacking against and with gravity, for the integrity of the land, journey to an ocean, the long way home, surprising, brief use of the arroyos, except for slight rains and sudden floods, they exist for the time when the snow has melted in the mountains, then they fill and rush...
