PICTURES: Lao Tzu was the first to say "One image is worth one thousand words." And so Did Marco Polo and Vasco de Gamma after having discovered unknown parts of the world. And to depict the unpleasant character of Popes, Michelangelo and Raphael froze their portraits in illustrations and pictures so future centuries and generation will remember those Papal characters. We see and understand our universe through photographs. Sure, we feel the cosmos and its parallel world with our hearts and imagination but, only photographs capture the moment, the message, the hidden, the revealed, the damned, the sacred, the holly and the forbidden

Barbara Singer
is de facto one of A ARTIST OF THE MONTH: KIKI SMITH tKiki Smith at The University Art Museum, University of California at Santa BarbaraOne of the most influential artists of her generation, Kiki Smith makes sculpture of and about the body in materials as diverse as bronze, paper, and wax. Ranging from fragments of the body to whole figures in the round, from the miniature to the monumental, from neutral or natural coloration to bright, unfamiliar hues, her sculptures are united by their sensual impact and their frank acceptance of corporeal reality. This exhibition, mixing a group of new works with examples of important recent pieces from Southern California collections in an installation designed by the artist, demonstrated the visceral qualities Smith can elicit from a variety of traditional and unusual mediums-evoking solid bodies in ostensibly fragile silk tissue or creating transitory visual effects in solid bronze. It also revealed her expressive scope: rather than argue a specific political interpretation or conform to a single way of suggesting meaning, Smith's art explores the diverse possibilities inherent in the body as subject and object, self and other. Kiki Smith, who was born in Nuremberg, Germany, in 1954, grew up in New Jersey and has lived in New York City since 1976. In the late 1970s and early 1980s she was associated with the artist's collective Collaborative Projects, Inc. (Colab), and participated in the celebrated Times Square Show of 1980. During that period she began to focus on the constituent parts of the human anatomy, a subject that continues to figure in her art. The product of a mature, established artist, the work in this exhibition functions on multiple levels. The best way to see it is without preconceptions, to approach each object as you would a new acquaintance, discovering gradually its personality, its nuances, its humor. We recommend that the viewer not seek--or trust--any fixed meaning or singular association: this is art that grows with time and a sign of its effectiveness is the sense that some of it remains provocative or mysterious.

Yes! Public television can make you a "beloved star".
Do people watch public television? You bet, if PT
stations networks have personalities like Laura Savini and Charlie Rose. We know who Charlie Rose
is, but Laura who? Hold your horses. Laura Savini is a
knockout, brilliant, sharp, extremely well respected and
above all, she is stunning. But who in heavens is Laura
Savini? We asked this question to 15 of our reporters
and senior writers. Twelve of them knew who she was. We
asked 300 of our readers if they knew anything about
Savini, heard of her, and if they did, what did they
think of her. Great! To our great astonishment and
delight, 210 heard of Savini and 179 of them watch her
regularly on her public television network. So, public
television is well and kicking...
