On the Horizon
Sze Tsung Leong must pay a fortune for location scouts. His latest work shows the world’s edge in many cities, many rural vales, but always finds it a little shimmery and hard to pin down.

Worlds of Interiors
It would be interesting to interview British artist Anne Hardy’s cleaning lady. She turns her studio into spaces—worlds without people, but apparently heavily and recently used.
I Am Tourist
Who are these tourists, where do they come from, and why do they foul up my morning commute? Anyone who’s lived in a big city knows the feeling of working in Disneyland, and anyone who’s visited one probably brought a camera.
At a Crossroads
Kate T. Williamson chronicles life back in her hometown in Pennsylvania, running into old high school friends, going to a Hall & Oates concert with her mother, and trying to figure out what happens next.
Spit Rainbow
Alongside large, loud, clamoring installation and sculpture at the Whitney Biennial 2008 and the M.C.A. Chicago, Chicago-based photographer Melanie Schiff’s work is quietly and surprisingly magnetic.
Pull Back the Shade
Muzi Quawson spent four years documenting the life of Amanda Jo Williams, a young mother and musician in Woodstock, NY. The results are familiar to anyone who’s spent time in New York and New England’s rust belt: young people living amid the debris of failed industry and the lost hippie years.
Antiquities
Robots and androids aren't the sole property of science fiction. Christopher Conte’s sculptures are more like old-fashioned studies rendered with today’s materials: anatomical forms on the verge of motion.
Polaroids
For photographers, the Polaroid was toy and tool, means and end, and Mapplethorpe handled it magnificently: roughly with sex, playfully with himself, carefully with faces, studiously on the body.
To Brooklyn
No longer thriving with industry, Brooklyn’s industrial waterfront is now being remade by developers and planners who have cafés and green spaces and expensive rents on the brain.
Puzzle Over and Over
Kent Rogowski's “Love = Love” project delivers pure wonder at these puzzles remixed to make new scenes, abstract floral artwork where once there were cats.
