...this would have happened if a community group, the Friends of the High Line, had not pushed for a more imaginative alternative. Incredibly, they prevailed, or at least have so far. Last year saw the groundbreaking for a park conceived through a collaboration between the artist-architects Diller Scofidio + Renfro and the landscape designer James Corner of Field Operations, which is also the firm behind the landfill park at Fresh Kills. Their plan calls for stretches of the High Line to be planted in ways meant to recall the self-seeded trees and grasses that sprouted there in the past...
...crown jewel in the city’s architectural tiara. Many in the art world have high hopes that the new Institute will play a major role in turning Boston into a significant destination in the contemporary art world.The ICA, designed by New York-based architects Diller Scofidio + Renfro, is both a strikingly beautiful building and the celebrated avant-garde design team’s first undertaking in the United States.

Last week Renfro, who made his debut in The Client in 1994 and has since starred in Sleepers and Apt Pupil, was charged with grand theft after he and an accomplice allegedly tried to steal a 45-ft. yacht from a Fort Lauderdale, Fla., marina. They might have got away with it had they only untied the dock lines...
...intriguing, are here sickening. The ethics of making Dussander (a former SS officer) the interesting character and his strident accusers the bland and vapid ones are, of course, also questionable. This said, Ian McKellan may be given credit for giving the masterful performance one expects of him. Todd Renfro's acting (as the boy who discovers Dussander) is generally bland and flat, more appropriate to a sitcom, or an after-school special, than the thriller that is being attempted here.
