Suddenly, SoHo Heeds Law Limiting Lofts to Artists

To see gargantuan steel sculptures fashioned by Richard Serra, you could visit the Guggenheim in Bilbao, Spain, or the Dia: Beacon, 60 miles north of New York City. Or you could go to a crane yard near a heating-oil terminal in Port Morris, an industrial corner of the South Bronx.

Joseph Beuys is one of the most legendary figures of twentieth century art; his work and ideas continue to impact on artists today. An enigmatic, self-styled 'shaman' who embraced radically democratic artistic and political ideas, he has attained almost mythical status.

"A Foot In The Grave"

Humanity as a whole has pondered the notion of life and death for as long as one can remember, but modern society must ask when does life begin, and when does it end. Does religion answer the question of life, or does the government? Is Jung right, and does the collective unconsciousness...
