Washington Dc Tour

Time Out Washington, D.C. takes travelers on an informed and detailed excursion around the city, taking in not only the likes of the Capitol building, the Supreme Court, and the White House, but also Washington's highly individual neighborhoods, its restaurants and bars, and its unparalleled collection of museums and galleries. The guide delves into the vagaries of political life in the White House and on Capitol Hill, the patterns of immigration that have made the city what it is today, the city's music scene, and shopping possibilities from high-end designer boutiques to neighborhood bookshops. Highlights include a feature profile on the chic boutique hotels springing up in the city, a tour of the National Gallery's amazing art collection, and an insider's guide to go-go, a music style unique to Washington, D.C.

William Kentridge's animated films offer a unique view of South Africa today, from the hearings of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission to traces of apartheid's violence in the landscape around Johannesburg. This is the first book to document the work of this extraordinary artist who has gained major international recognition in the 1990s. The images in Kentridge's films depict political realities, expressed in terms of individual human suffering. The films are composed of patiently reworked drawings; a week's drawing can give rise to just forty seconds of animation. A major touring exhibition of Kentridge's work is presented at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago, the New Museum of Contemporary Art, New York and the Hirshhorn Museum, Washington, DC, during 2000-2001.
