...liked the Whitney Biennial, you may like "Aperto 93." Some of its 13 curators, like the American Jeffrey Deitch, are in fact dealers -- a further development of Postmodernist art ethics. Its title, "Emergency," signals that, like the Whitney fiasco, it will "address the issues" of sexism, racism, environmental decay, the drainage of psychosocial space from modern life, the hegemony of mass media and so forth...
Crowds are worse on Colorado's 14,255-ft. Longs Peak in Rocky Mountain National Park. Last year some 29,000 hikers reached the top, a rise of 53% since 1990. This is a nose-to-tail wilderness experience. Permits are assigned by lottery to climb Mount Whitney, above California's Owens Valley, at 14,494 ft., the highest summit in the Lower 48 states. The limit is 50 people a day in the favored period of late summer, and by the end of April all the slots were assigned...

Many of the artists featured in New York--representing an impressive array of backgrounds, creativities and subjectivities--critically approach contemporary issues with great finesse, versatility, intelligence and creativity. However, because of the sheer number of voice represented, these artists are unnecessarily driven into a type of solipsism. The Whitney exhibition, though interesting in parts, stumbles over its own inability to map put the relevant and crucial lines between various forms of critical discourse...
