MAM's "Act/React" ditches the middleman
Interactive exhibits are nothing new. And George Fifield, guest curator of Milwaukee Art Museum's "Act/React" show, which opens today -- would be the first to admit that. But, he says, that's not what "Act/React" is, exactly. Thanks to its lack of interface, "Act/React" is the world's first unmediated interactive exhibition.

Brace yourself for Gilbert & George's bold world
Gilbert & George describe themselves as "two people, one artist." The British artists -- we'll use the plural here to avoid confusion -- met at St. Martins School of Art in London in 1967 and have been together, personally, professionally and artistically, ever since.
