...What has sprung up is less of an art movement than an extended family tree. You get a clear sense of this in the exhibition's central "courtyard," with its forest of mortuary log coffins and sapling-sized mimih sculptures. Visitors are advised to take a catalog, as you can get lost in this forest trying to connect the names. Start with the most mischievous of mimih by the late Crusoe Kuningbal, then jump to the mimih of his late wife Lena Kurinya, daughter Melba Gunjarrwanga and son Crusoe Kurddal.

Some call it hurricane amnesia, and a cure is not in sight...
...young people of New Vegas mostly come from L.A., and they spend most of their time at the clubs, which have sprung up in the desert like stripper poles. Every hotel has at least one disco and an ultralounge, the Vegas term for a Eurotrash bar with overpriced drinks. The clubs are a big draw for women, who outnumber the men. "We give women some empowerment. Let them dance on a table and feel like a star for a minute," says Jennifer Worthington, 32, who co-owns Coyote Ugly, BiKiNiS and Tangerine.
