Noah and Tanika spend a day aboard the tugboat Hercules learning about the boats and animals in the harbor.
When your pa's an outlaw, you grow up mean, tough, and fast - unless something or someone changes that dirty, dusty path. One day, Kid Cody's path changes with bang. Arrested after a stagecoach shootout and deserted by his pa, the young gunman finds himself alone in the Wild West. Alone, except for a mysterious man in black, who aids Cody in his escape from jail. Once free, Kid Cody sets out to blaze his own trail but instead finds trouble at every turn. He also finds a map to the fabled city of El Dorado, where the streets are supposedly paved with gold. But others are after the map as well, included his good-for-nothing pa. It's only a matter of time until their paths cross again.
"Featuring 70 works in various media--paintings, calligraphy, photographs, woodblock prints, video, and sculpture--that were created during the past three decades, Ink Art: Past as Present in Contemporary China will demonstrate how China's ancient pattern of seeking cultural renewal through the reinterpretation of past models remains a viable creative path. Although all of the artists have transformed their sources through new modes of expression, visitors will recognize thematic, aesthetic, or technical attributes in their creations that have meaningful links to China's artistic past. The exhibition will be organized thematically into four parts and will include such highlights as Xu Bing's dramatic Book from the Sky (ca. 1988), an installation that will fill an entire gallery; Family Tree (2000), a set of vivid photographs documenting a performance by Zhang Huan in which his facial features--and his identity--are obscured gradually by physiognomic texts that are inscribed directly onto his face; and Map of China (2006) by Ai Weiwei, which is constructed entirely of wood salvaged from demolished Qing dynasty temples." --
