...eight strains of mice, including some genetically altered to lack osteocalcin and some engineered to overeat. He found that osteocalcin significantly impacts how the body handles glucose, its primary fuel, in three ways: by raising the number of insulin-producing beta cells in the pancreas, by directly boosting the output of those cells, and by raising the body's sensitivity to insulin...
...just wanted to do it differently." So he rises at 4 a.m. to write for hours before swimming or running, training for marathons and lately triathlons as well. Murakami says he needs the exercise to keep up his stamina for the draining work of writing - the prolificacy of his output is legendary - but there's also an element of physical pleasure in his declaration that he weighs as much now, aged 58, as he did in his late...

Unlike diamonds, pearls have no common grading system, and value is judged on seven factors: size, color, shape, luster, surface quality, nacre...

The resulting work appeals to both domestic collectors in search of something new, and overseas buyers seeking work with reference points...
...representative nine years later. All the same, the choice of a dead artist denies the important Biennale spotlight to a living one. Before and after his death, but especially after, Gonzalez-Torres' work was widely circulated around the museum world. But it was a brief life, a relatively small output, and it's been seen quite a bit. So there's no sense of surprise or discovery in this show, a big part of what makes any other pavilion exciting. (Assuming it's exciting at all.) Inevitably, the Gonzalez-Torres show feels sealed off and commemorative...
