...fact, to preserve the theoretical intentions of his piece "Sliding Down a Volcano With Kleenex Boxes as Skis," Lawrence Weimer resorts to a textual caption, since the visual image itself is apparently not enough. The drawing is strictly geometrical and almost devoid of a visual subject matter. Three bold black curves, each crowned with an unassuming hexagon, cut large swaths across the page (not, mind you, the canvass), and converge on a fourth prosaic stroke. It is almost entirely visually uninteresting and the negative space accounts for the vast majority of the framed image. It represents a feat...

...these postmodern statements-their own viewing lenses are too unsophisticated, uninformed, theoretically simple. Elementary school children tend to be less interested in art as an intellectual enterprise than as an exposition of beauty-an activity that plays on the pleasures of the sense. And while "Sliding Down A Volcano With Kleenex Boxes as Skis" is intellectually appetizing, its over-simplified visual schema doesn't have a leg to stand on in terms of beauty, especially the sort of colorful and kinetic beauty that often resonates with youngsters...

...Lombok never lost out to Bali because of a lack of attractions. Pristine beaches ring the island and many, particularly in the southeast, remain untouched. Snorkeling, diving and surfing can be world-class, and new sites are being discovered all the time. Climbing the active 3,726-m-high volcano Rinjani (see Detour) offers some of the more spectacular and secluded hiking in the whole of Southeast Asia. Even those who want little more than a spot to sunbathe should take time to explore central Lombok and the lush rice terraces contouring the fertile lower crater slopes...

...main tourist town of Senggigi on the west coast. Gas is cheap, around $6 for a tank, which should be almost enough for a complete island tour. Two hours inland is Tetebatu, a small village on Rinjani's southern slope that offers clear views up to the volcano. Hotels are cheap and cheerful. A cut above the rest is the Hotel Soedjono, an old Dutch colonial house with rooms, plus outlying cottages, most with glorious vistas of the terraces, and a colossal pool; fax (62-376) 223-22 or call (62) 8185-44265 to book. Rates are a scarcely believable...

Etna will too. It rumbles and smokes regularly but is a relatively friendly volcano, giving plenty of warning when it's about to blow. The damage, however, can still be severe. Since the start of this year's eruption, lava has destroyed a ski lift and a couple of summer homes, and threatened Rifugio Sapienza. Don't try to ski there next winter: the slopes will remain too warm to hold enough snow...
