|  | Temari by Margaret Ludlow
Embroider brilliantly colored, patterned spheres using this ancient Japanese creative craft. The 22 temari designs -- plus numerous variations-in this full-color, how-to guide require only the most inexpensive and readily available materials. Learn how to form the base ball, divide it into pattern sections, and decorate it with the three main temari techniques of winding, stitching, and weaving. Add tassels and knots for finishing touches. Each design includes a difficulty rating and techniques list, making it easy to select the project that's right for you. Once you've created one of the exquisite works of art, you'll understand why temari are often placed in glass cases for permanent display. AUTHOR: Margaret Ludlow

 | Jenny Holzer by David Joselit, Elias Canetti, Joan Simon, Renata Salecl, Samuel Beckett
Among America's best-known artists, Jenny Holzer examines the power of language through glowing, disembodied texts enunciated by an unstable register of personae: is this the voice of an ad-man, a stand-up comic, a torturer, an evangelist? In addition to having written many off-quoted Truisms (such as 'Abuse of Power Comes As No Surprise'), she has found visually stunning means of conveying them -- from the anonymous posters hung in the streets of Manhattan, to electronic signs in a sports stadium, to a giant installation spiralling up the Guggenheim Museum interior. Holzer, awarded the Leone d'Oro prize for her contribution to the 1990 Venice Biennale, fuses influences ranging from advertising to Minimalism's use of industrial materials in an innovative form of public art.
