Aggressive Medium. For nearly a decade, or since Robert Rauschenberg hung a tire on a stuffed goat and Andy Warhol began painting the soup can, artists have labored to create simple, obvious public art. They used colors that screamed; painting was likely to have hard-edged forms; sculpture was geometric, intended as focal points in plazas. Today the trend is in the opposite direction: artists are deliberately going underground. Even though they may use people as part of their sculptures-as does Byars-their purposes remain arcane and enigmatic...
...Backs. Though an unabashed paean to the mystique of pro football, the movie performs a mild disservice to the athletes themselves. Plimpton wrote of football players as sensitive people, worried about injuries and the challenge of younger, faster rookies, fearful of the day when the team could no longer use them, always inwardly satisfied by the crisp precision of a well-executed play.

She asked them to choose an emotion. "Happiness," one of the boys suggested: so for a while they were happy, then thankful, then obsessed, then lonely, and then sad. "I can't seem to do this," said a tall boy in corduroy pants and a bright polka dot shirt. "There isn't enough space. I wish we were on a football field." The leader of the group tried to help...
