There is a video called dammi i colori by an Albanian artist about the effect on a whole city of a program of painting the old cement block housing in wild colors. It is a really interesting piece - see review & pictures of a showing in NYC below. http://www.villagevoice.com/art/0443,levin,57835,13.html Bold Home Color: What's the Cause?

Just back from Venice. LOVED it. The British Council has a map of the off-site locations (available at the British pavillion). Some of the free stuff is really great. Check out Singapore, Luxemborg & Portugal (all within 10 min walk of each other right over Academia bridge). Singapore is housed in a gorgeous palace and the juxtaposition between the contemporary art and the space is really interesting - Portugal & Luxemborg are really commentaries on use of space & colonialism. Also, there are a lot of interesting galleries & antique stores dispersed throughout the alleys behind the Palazzo Grazzo & in Dosuroduro that might yield interesting AT finds. Ciao! Looking forward to your postings. Far Flung Correspondents! Flag this comment	7/10/07 3:56 AM
On carpet beetles - while they don't bite people like bed bugs they also can get into anything and everything. I had an infestation once and I found them under baseboards, inside cardboard boxes in the tops of my closets, chomping away at glue in books & old photo albums in my bookshelves, under my stove. Anywhere that regular cleaning did not get to. In the end I had to empty out everything in my apartment & repack in plastic. They can survive on anything organic - wool, glue, paper, cotton, silk, food in your cabinets - anything. I only found the infestation because I found a few dead ones & panicked thinking I had bed bugs - I then did a thorough inspection of my place with a flashlight & found them. I still have nightmares about them. If you have ever seen any innocent looking black beetles the size of a lady bug - those are the adults who lay eggs & you might want to do a little bit of looking around in your place. http://ohioline.osu.edu/hyg-fact/2000/2103.html http://www.entomology.cornell.edu/Extension/DiagnosticLab/IDLFS/BeetlesInfestingWoolens/BeetlesInfestingWoolens.html Good Questions: Are The Tiny Holes in My Shirts from Moths?
