COVER STORY
Vanishing Subject
Kurt Andersen and film critic Anthony Lane talk about
the vanishing subject -- art that forces us to fill in the blanks.
  Gerhard
Richter
The German painter Gerhard Richter
is a master of exquisite obscurity with his conscious, careful blurring
of even the most literal images. A retrospective of Gerhard Richter's
work is touring the country: its next stop is the San Francisco MOMA.
Produced by Karen Michel.

 Blur
Two New York architects, Elizabeth
Diller and Ricardo Scofidio, wanted to challenge the notion of architecture
as hard, unambiguous, stable, and sheltering. They wanted to design something
that isn't quite there. The result is the Blur Building on Lake Neuchatel
in Switzerland. Produced by Leital Molad with additional reporting by
Isabelle Reymond.

 Mysterian
Shapes
When east coast photographer Nick Muellner set out
for the arid basins of southeast Utah, he brought with him a book by the
Russian writer Vladimir Nabokov. When Muellner's photographs turned out
stranger than he expected, he found himself trying to crack open Nabokov's
perfectly constructed literary images. Produced by David Krasnow.
