T'was the first week of December, and all through the house, the heater was grinding, disturbing the mouse. Equally enchanting is the first New England snowfall of the season (as I write) that have to walk home through it this evening. On the indoors (or outside, near lamp post, tramping the NewburyOpen.net), warm yourself near a CPU exhaust fan, keep your hands hot on a USB powered coffee mug, and serve up our sampling for No. 73:
Articles - we have an interview with photographer Michael Schmelling from Shane Lavalette; reviews, a one year recap of the new ICA from Matthew Nash, a report on legislators, politics and the state of the arts in Boston from Christian Holland. Reviews - we one on a lecture from the ICA by Maria LaCreta and the a current show at the List from Phaedra Shanbaum. Out of town reviews include venues like the Susan Hobbs Gallery in Toronto from Jennifer McMackon, the Johnson Museum in Ithaca from Arthur Whitman, and Portland State University in Portland by Micah Malone.
