Boom, Destruction, and Austerity: Gabriel Orozco, Kitty Kraus, and Urs Fischer
John Haber from his blog
Many people have the feeling that something has gone wrong with contemporary art. They see only conceptual art and theory, when artists have moved on to more impulsive creation—and self-creation. They see only overblown installations, just when galleries and museums are cutting back.
For all that, museums still devote shows to young artists and midcareer retrospectives. With Gabriel Orozco, Kitty Kraus, and Urs Fischer, that makes one more aware than ever of the disappointments.

Furtherfield –Digital Pioneers
Digital Pioneers is a deceptively modest exhibition hidden away in two rooms upstairs at the Victoria and Albert Museum. It contains some of the earliest examples of art produced using electronic devices and computing machinery along with some creative later work.
