Celiento, 50, seems perfectly cast to play the part of policeman in this pulsating Mediterranean city: quick-witted and classically handsome, with salt-and-pepper hair, mirrored sunglasses and a well-pressed blue uniform. But he's not cracking Mob cases. He's using the STOP paddle in his right hand to pull taxis over at random--checking if their meters are rigged--and show passing motorists in hectic Piazza Garibaldi that the Law is indeed watching, if mostly for minor violations...
With his curly, salt-and-pepper hair and thoughtful demeanor, Chris West looks like just another mid-career professor as he crosses the streets of Oxford University. But West, trained as a zoologist, is more an activist than an academic these days. From his cramped office around the corner from Balliol College, he directs the government's UK Climate Impacts Program, which educates individuals and businesses in Britain about the risks they face from climate change and the ways to cope with...
...four judges, including Engberg, who selected the three official Australian artists, and continuing in his "ambassadorial" role of commissioner from the 2005 Biennale, Kaldor has more than anyone else shaped Australia's presence at the world's oldest festival of visual arts.

...several examples in I Am a Strange Loop (which is, among many other things, an intellectual autobiography).

The girl on the Morton's Salt box holds a Morton's Salt box that has her own image on it, which in turn has a tiny salt box with another girl on it--the series would regress endlessly if her arm didn't get in the way. Goofing around with a video camera, Hofstadter pointed...
...Clergue most creatively celebrates the female form, for which the plain rigidity of the inorganic world is a foil. Here, it is the women who are strong, not the city. Also receiving their fair share of attention in the main gallery are Clergue’s semi-abstractions of salt flats, marshes, and coastal areas. The arid earth in “Craquelures de Sel” resembles Aaron Siskind’s peeling posters, and the undulating reflections of reeds in “Roseaux, Le Marais d’Arles” hearken back to similar photographs...
