After years of never watching TV, I'm still getting used to having a digital recorder, and looking to see what's on TV that I might actually want to see.

As a visual person, I look at Yahoo! Top Stories Photos to see what they're showing. I was amazed to see a photo of Kiki Smith on the page. It was to illustrate the TV show Art in the 21st Century on PBS. How have I not heard of this?! A show that talks to the likes of her, Paul Pfeiffer, Collier Schorr, etc. is definitely something I want to see. The web page gives air dates, so set those recorders.

I saw Kiki Smith in person at LFL Gallery when I was there for Danica Phelps's opening on Friday night.
