The concept of time has been discussed by philosophers throughout the ages. What is its nature? How does one depict it? Artists, especially, have struggled with representing the ephemeral thing that is time--from On Kawara’s never-ending series of dated one-day paintings, to Janine Antoni’s infinitely massive and barely gnawed-at hunks of chocolate and lard, to Hiroshi Sugimoto’s long-exposure photographs of movie theaters, to Iñigo Manglano-Ovalle’s sped-up video of human motion in Mies van der Rohe’s New National Gallery in Berlin. Tempo will feature encycloped

In recent years, a number of artists have abstracted images culled from slapstick, comic strips and films, cartoons and animation into a new representational mode to address perplexing issues about war and global conflicts, the loss of innocence and ethnic and cultural stereotyping. From Julie Mehretu’s intricately layered paintings and Arturo Herrera’s psychological collages made of Walt Disney coloring books to Ellen Gallagher’s seductively Minimalist paintings, permeated by "blackface" signs culled from minstrel performances, to Rivane Neuenschwander’s wiped-out cart

Since its birth in the first half of the nineteenth century, photography has offered extraordinary possibilities of documenting, redefining and disseminating works of art. Through crop, focus, angle of view, degree of close-up and lighting, as well as through expostfacto techniques of dark room manipulation, collage, montage and assemblage, artists not only interpret the works they record but create stunning reinventions of them. The Original Copy: Photography of Sculpture, 1839 to Today presents a critical examination of the intersections between photography and sculpture, exploring how the o

In this brilliant, luminous novel, one of our finest realist writers gives us a story of surpassing depth and emotional power. Acclaimed for her lucid and compassionate exploration of the American family, Roxana Robinson sets her new work on familiar terrain—New York City and the Adirondacks—but with Sweetwater she transcends the particulars of the domestic sphere with a broader, more encompassing vision. In this poignant account of a young widow and her second marriage, Robinson expands her scope to include the larger natural world as well as the smaller, more intimate one of the home. Is

During a visit from her elderly parents, she hopes to mend complicated relationships with her domineering father, a retired neurosurgeon, and her gentle mother, who is descending into the fog of Alzheimer’s.

In her attempts to save him, Julia marshals help from her loosely knit clan, but Jack’s addiction courses through the family with a devastating energy, sweeping them all into a world of confusion, fear, a
