At MASS MoCA the artist has applied her atmospheric veils of paint to four mounds of soil which seem to spill from the upper balcony into the enormous space below. Stacks of Styrofoam shards rise out of the seductive mountains of color, mirroring the white of the gallery walls -- the metaphorical canvas of Grosse's tremendous painting. While the sprawling installation provokes associations with a psychedelic, glacial landscape, Grosse's work is not representational.

Paul St George, a British artist whose Telectroscope will allow New Yorkers and Londoners to wave to one another.

A fanciful device born equally of history and imagination, it will visually connect New Yorkers to people in London, where an identical scope will sit on the banks of the Thames in the shadow of Tower Bridge.

Hendee is tremendously influenced by science fiction and technology, and a lot of the work you see in this gallery suggests a world where everyone has become a brain in a box. Or where the smart boxes have simply taken over completely.

I have no idea whether that part of the story [Borglum's 20000 year plan for Mt. Rushmore] is true, but in any case, the 20,000-year forward view and the 500,000-year one, considered side by side, seem to have something to say:

Hepworth was an artist of extraordinary stature whose importance is still to some extent occluded. Over 50 years, from 1925 to her death in 1975, she made more than 600 works of sculpture remarkable in range and emotional force. Her private life was complicated, at times traumatic: two marriages and four children, three of whom were triplets. And there was the long disruption of the war. What makes Hepworth wonderful was the strength of her ambition, the unswerving self-belief. She demonstrated so tangibly her understanding that "the dictates of work are as compelling for a woman as for a man".
