Tyler Green has been doing some great posts on one of my favorite artists Martin Puryear, a sculptor who has done as much with a curved line as anyone in art history.

The O indicates the Portland Art Center might have found a way out of its current financial crisis if they can sell enough panels. Also, the word "restructuring" has been used... time will tell what that means but it's a time to really address some of the concerns already raised on PORT in the past.

The Guardian has an intriguing review of Hans-Peter Feldman's latest show in Bristol.

Portland Architecture takes on possible Sellwood bridge designs and the U of O's White Stag block in Oldtown Portland.

Also, this organic extension of a building seems like something that might be great for Portland.

The WWeek ran a story on Milepost 5, an innovative new creative colony for Portland's ambitions to take root in.

Lastly, The New Museum of Contemporary Art in New York has a new building and the New York Times takes a look. As always I found Ouroussoff's critique of culture in New York important and healthy but will the contents of the museum live up to the box? Roberta Smith has her say on that issue here too, it's a must read (partly for all of its paradoxes, which befits the show).
