Using black is Tambellini’s way of evoking the infinite space that surrounds our planet. The Russian cosmonaut Aleksei Leonov, the first man to walk in space, wrote, “Before me—blackness: an inky-black sky studded with stars that glowed but did not twinkle; they seemed immobilized. Space itself appears as a bottomless pit. Such intensity of black does not exist on earth.” When Tambellini read these words in 1965, he realized that he has already been striving for a similar effect with his art and films. His work...

But it gets cold, and the county's frozen winter waterways offer ample opportunities for outdoor skating. "In Holland, kids learn to walk and skate at the same time," says Pierre Hogers, drummer for a Dutch marching band called Kleintje Pils, which travels to speed skating events around the world to fire up the crowd (kleintje pils means "a little beer," because when the Dutch get together to watch speed skating, there's bound...
