- Big Whoop of the Week: Photographer Spencer Tunick is seeking 800 naked Miamians for his latest photographic extravaganza. I challenge him to find 800 Miamians who actually want to keep their clothes on.
- MoMA is hiring.
- The worst buildings in NYC.
- How to tell if your neighborhood is done: it gets mentioned on Gossip Girls.

- Decorative items that send a message.
- Artworld Smackdown: Italy 40, Getty 0.
- Why, god, why?
- Sneaky sex that’s strangely unsexy. The NYT investigates.
- Bed-time reading for hypochondriacs.
- Jane Jacobs, the woman who stood up to Robert Moses, inspires an intellectual cottage industry.
- The MacArthur Genius Grants have been announced. Sadly, I was overlooked. Again.
- I heart JC Penney’s circa 1975.
- MassMoCA continues to have its ass handed to it on a platter.
- This looks worth checking out if you’re in Berlin.
- Abbie Hoffman would sure look nice over the couch.
