Off-the-Wall Art
Mayor Bloomberg announced in his state-of-the-city address that more public art is planned for 2007. But some people wonder: how much is too much? We debate the issue with New York Times reporter Robin Pogrebin, and the video-artist who turned MoMA into a drive-in, Doug Aitken.
Off-the-Wall Voice
Texas native Ruthie Foster is a former US Navy Petty Officer whose powerhouse singing bridges folk, blues, and soul music. Critics have called hers "a voice that can make grown men cry." She performs live in the Soundcheck studios.
