...success at the Tate, projects have proliferated-a light wall for the Oslo Opera House, a kind of artwork/observatory tower in London, the sets for a touring opera. Eliasson lives in Copenhagen with his wife, an art historian, and the two children they adopted from Ethiopia. But his studio is in Berlin, where he employs 30 or more people. On any given day he may collaborate with technicians, architects and mathematicians. Yet the finished product is often remarkably simple. You could say that some combination of straightforward means and subtle effects is the signature of Eliasson's best work. Beauty...
...form of action, that theater most often becomes absurd: the shoe banged on the table, the smell of sulfur in the room. Venezuela's Hugo Chávez, star of last year's show, skipped the session this year, perhaps to tend to a new state-owned movie studio designed to help break "the dictatorship of Hollywood." But he did take time out to call his Iranian friend and compliment him for standing up to the Great Satan. And it all occurred in a week when Burmese monks were in the streets risking their lives for freedom, their actions speaking...
...lone acoustic guitar. Gone, too, is the image of a storyteller, suspender-bound, murmuring myths on a sun-drenched porch. In some ways, to bemoan the increased polish of Iron & Wine is to lament the inevitable, as with expanding audiences comes a pull into the wiry world of the studio. Still, selfish as it sounds, there was a soft magic to the lo-fi ambiance of his earliest records, buried now below vocal effects and extended (by Beam standards) “jam†sessions.

...disagrees, describing himself as "obsessive, yes; perfectionist, no." For more than three years during production, Seinfeld continued his stand-up gigs on weekends and also oversaw everything from Bee Movie's casting to the most minute hand movements of the animated characters. (He began flying out to the DreamWorks studio so often, in fact, that he eventually rented a house in Bel Air, Calif.) During the final stages of production in August, Seinfeld is listening to the film's score in the Santa Monica, Calif., studio of Oscar-winning composer Hans Zimmer. "Wow, that was Zimmer-rific," he says somewhat...
Indeed, sitting in a ninth-floor studio of her New York City atelier, Wang comes across like the overachiever who is also a rebel, the A student who ditches class more than once in a while. She has delicate Asian features but packs a wallop of American wit. Her look is feminine and slight, yet she dresses, she says, "like a boy." (Today, it's Yohji Yamamoto black leggings, black T shirt, charcoal ribbed cashmere sweater and a phenomenally oversize jeweled cross.) Partway through college at Sarah Lawrence, she left for Paris, presumably to study, but it was really...
