By Ted G. Decker

FROM THE ARCHIVES:
Unplugged Yellow
A novel by Richard Dailey
"Afterwards we went to a party at Spike Westman's converted parking garage on Barrow Street, my initiation into the monied universe that oxygenates the world of art.

A Conversation with Jay Atherton, Cy Keener
and Cassandra Coblentz
"Cy Keener: The experience of discovery—or getting to know something through physical movement and multiple senses—is important to me. When you first encounter the piece in the museum, all you see is a forest of hanging fabric. Visitors who choose to pass through this “wall” find a transformed world, and another world behind that. But each discovery requires taking a step, and some viewers will take this step while others won’t..."
