Guggenheim, NY Guggenheim Go New York Palais de Tokyo, centre d’art contemporain ART234 - Arte Contemporáneo 2. Denis Scott Brown y Robert Venturi en el desierto de Las Vegas. 1966 3. Secrets of the Metropolitan Museum of Art - February 28, 2013 You could lose yourself in the Metropolitan Museum of Art. In fact, if you’re lucky, you will lose yourself, straying off the beaten track of masterpieces and discovering impossibly gorgeous and obscure objects to carry away in your mind’s eye. Maybe you’ll end up in front of an enormous winged lion from Mesopotamia, carved from alabaster nearly 3,000 years ago. Perhaps you’ll find yourself gazing upon a 1950s Balenciaga evening dress and wondering how it would fit you. Or peering over the threshold of the elegant Damascus room in the museum’s newly refurbished Islamic Art department, imagining how 18th century noblemen sipped their tea on red plush cushions while they listened to the water play in a mosaic fountain.
Nicholas Roerich Museum The National Portrait Gallery Musée Virtuel : Art et Culture Saloua Raouda Choucair – review Les Peintres célèbres, 1948-49 by Saloua Raouda Chocair: 'She takes Léger's tubular belles and gives them some spirit.'

Light Touch installation by Haptic Visitors to an exhibition of work by architects Haptic can take a rest inside a wooden cabin filled with coloured light and smoke (+ movie). As the centrepiece to the Working the Land exhibition, the Light Touch installation combines an illuminated walkway with a secluded seating area and was designed to demonstrate the craftsmanship that is key to Haptic's architectural practice. A kinetic mechanism is attached to the top of the structure, lifting a chain of lights up and down in a wave-like motion. One side of these lights shines onto a wall of images in the corridor, while the other projects shades of pink, purple and blue through the slatted facade of the cabin. Visitors sitting inside the cabin can make themselves comfortable amongst a collection of reindeer skins. Smoke is emitted from openings at their feet, clouding the light as it gradually filters in.

Jenny Holzer: drawn to the dark side One day, Jenny Holzer saw a picture. It showed a woman with her legs spread, lying in a forest after being raped and murdered. The drawing, by the unflinching German artist Käthe Kollwitz, provoked Holzer to write some text in the voice of an imagined adviser to the attacker. "Crack the pelvis so she lies right.
