COVER STORY
Industry
Kurt Andersen and landscape architect Julie Bargmann
talk about the connections between art and industry.
  Kohler
Factory
The Kohler Factory in Sheboygan Wisconsin makes toilets
and sinks, but the company has a surprising motto, that quotes the 19th
century art critic John Ruskin: "Life without labor is guilt. Life
without art is brutality." Kohler runs an artists-in-residency program,
and Studio 360 sent Hillary Frank to check it out.

 Dia
Beacon
Kurt Andersen and Michael Govan, the director of Dia:Beacon
tour this new museum housed in an old printing building in the Hudson
Valley, about 75 miles north of New York City. Dia made this space so
it could house sculpture and art that would never fit comfortably in an
average downtown museum gallery. Produced by Paul Ruest and David Krasnow.

 Industrial
Music

to the machine age in music: Annie Gosfield, a young contemporary composer;
Genesis P-Orridge and his 1970's rock band Throbbing Gristle; and George

Playing
Van Gogh. Vincent Van Gogh would have turned
150 this year and his personal trials are just as famous as his art.
His rejection in his own time, his psychological struggles…his
cutting off his own ear. But an exhibition at the Van Gogh Museum in
Amsterdam asks us to rethink Van Gogh, and what we know about it. Produced
by Emily Hoffman.
