Lovely application by Arcade Fire.... Involves music, typing the address of the house you grew up in and some fabulous images.
A beautiful yet simple concept of interactive web design.

Young Currators
NYT feature: audio and photos here "Young Currators Speak"
"For a 37-year-old curator, Mr. Roy seems pretty cool about it all, considering that only a few years ago he started his professional life selling tickets at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum. Yet as museum directors have come to realize, younger minds attract younger audiences. And Mr. Roy is just one of a growing group of rising curatorial stars cutting quite a different figure from the age-old image of museum curator as a fusty academic.
Sitting in his office, a small space whose walls are covered with movie posters, Mr. Roy is tall, elegant and articulate when talking about how he landed the coveted job of running MoMA’s film department, the second-largest at the institution after painting and sculpture.
“When I first heard they were looking for someone I was convinced I was NOT the person,” he said. “I was too young, too out there, not academic.”
Yet as soon as he got the call to come in and talk about the position, he said, he had to “at least accept a conversation.” Fifteen interviews later, he was offered the job. “It was fascinating, nerve-racking and a bit like “American Idol,’ ” he recalled."

Again in New York...
From their website:
SUPERFRONT’s mission is to support, promote, and produce radically contemporary architecture, while fostering creative interdisciplinary exchange. This mission is achieved through exhibits, publications, panels, and projects that, while focused on architecture, may also concern art, performance, media and social science.

Espace Pepin
somehow i think i missed this... was this up when we went there last jet set?
reminds me of some Betty Goodwin work
"Daring and out-of-the-ordinary, artist painter Lysanne Pepin dives into fresh water to rediscover the beauty of the human body - free of weight, gravity and restrictions. In this new collection, by means of underwater filming, she captures the female figure in a state of grace, beauty, sensuality and innocence. She presents her new collection, entitled Weightlessness, to the public in the Spring of 2009.
With the artwork of the Weightlessness series, Pepin explores the organic movement and spontaneous expression of her subjects, who are themselves artists and comedians of great talent. They have accepted this invitation to share in the unique experience of being filmed in a state of total weightlessness, freedom of movement and liberty. Each one of her muses is more beautiful and inspired than the other, and they move with ease and grace in the diffuse light of the water. They evolve to the rhythms of the underwater world, dancing, swirling gently, their diaphanous dresses moving naturally around them, their hair following as if haloed diadems.
