...titles on the sides of the books, but not quite. The size almost seems to have been chosen with this aim in mind. This aim crystallizes when "Deichmanske Bibliothek Oslo III" is juxtaposed with "Wikingsmuseum Oslo I," which portrays an old Norse ship that leaps out of the frame, prow-forward. The singularity of purpose in this image, taken with the well-composed light streaming in from windows, imparts a striking ecclesiastical quality to the work. Hofer refrains, however, from photographing places of worship--an absence that is striking...
...Besides, when it comes to new media, my 20-odd TIME.com colleagues and I are at the thin end of the wedge. On the new-media prow of the TIME magazine flagship. Time Warner is an Internet company now, and we are the Internet. In other words, AOL's gonna have to come through...
...travels through the Three Gorges twice a week. The 22-year-old English and business graduate from Sichuan International Studies University works on the Qianlong cruise ship, a gaudy floating hotel with a prow shaped like a dragon's head.

Now she and a friend are planning to move to Beijing, where a travel agent she met on the boat...

The multilayered set is a marvel; with a few turns, the Cotton Blossom shifts between views of the cabin windows, the boat's prow and box office, a kitchen pantry, the interior theater and the upper deck where the young lovers, Gaylord Ravenal and Magnolia Hawks, hold their trysts. The second act is set in turn-of-the-century Chicago, the centerpiece being the Palmer House Hotel. But here, too, the set undergoes a series of eye-popping transformations, conjuring up scenes as divergent...
...sometimes creates a brilliant effect as in Landscape with Boat. Easily the most abstract and compositionally daring painting in the show, Landscape with Boat looks like a jagged collision of two blue dot screens leaving a gigantic gash across the canvas. Only upon closer inspection do we notice the prow of a tiny red boat jutting in from the lower left-hand edge of the painting. This careful cropping coupled with a horizonless point of view emphasizes the vast and perhaps overwhelming aspect of nature often captured in actual Chinese painting...
