...Characteristic of all the work is a certain distance," the catalogue claims, "from the particular places presented." This notion of distance is over-emphasized by the curators. Distance is a prerequisite for all modes of understanding landscape, and not a thematic motif peculiar to this exhibit. The thrust of From a Distance might more aptly be defined as a moral, ecological and sociological diagram of the tenuous and destructive relationship between humanity and nature in contemporary society...
...Cattrell plays Samantha Jones, a sexy PR executive who loves to live the high life as much as President Clinton enjoys his cigars. She unabashedly lusts for one-night stands, and, in recent memory, has slept with a munchkin, a guy who pops Viagra for the extra thrust, and a man so large even Samantha feared she would get lockjaw.

He has spent most of his career tilling the dusty fields of international-trade law, first at the Senate Finance Committee, then as general counsel to the U.S. Trade Representative under President Bush, and finally, for five years, in the London office of Goldman Sachs, where his intelligence, work ethic and low-key demeanor earned him plenty of money and admirers. A friend from the firm says Bolten is so ambivalent about wealth that one year he "seemed genuinely embarrassed" by the size...
