Production



Apologies for the relative hiatus - caused mainly by a postponed, but inevitable addiction to DVDs of The Wire. As recompense, over at the Measures, me on Wang Bing's colossal epic of industrial decline, West of the Tracks - one of the less interesting essays in a short collection put together for a screening of the entire work-day long film at NYU.

Other things: Militant Modernism is reviewed this month in Frieze and Art Review, though neither are online yet - but there is a nice recommendation from the RIBA Journal, and this review at 3AM Magazine, which gets what I was trying to do with the book more than most - which is more my failure than anyone else's, of course.

RE 'West of the Tracks', have you seen Edward Burtynsky's photos of the Chinese rust belt? He also does a lot of work on urban development. I can't quite work out whether his sublime aesthetic is a little too alluring though.
