[Christian Marclay], a fine orchestrater of sonic material in his own works-like Video Quartet and the memorable The Bell and the Glass-says he considers "Ensemble" like a piece of his own. "I appropriated the other artists' works," as he puts it. If so, it's an experiment that needs more direction. There are great individual pieces in the show that you'll want to play with. Mineko Grimmer's Bamboo Forest, a curtain that challenges you at the entrance, is simple and elegant. Doug Aitken's K-N-O-C-K-O-U-T, a guitar-shaped xylophone table for four players, is charming. And David Ellis' Trash TaWc with garbage bags that rock and thump is funny and poignant. "Ensemble" is a great idea for a show and I hope Marclay gets to try it again.

A new exhibit was unveiled Tuesday at the Museum of Modern Art or rather on the Museum of Modern Art. The new public art installation by artist Doug Aitken turned the museum's facades into a drive-in movie theater of sorts, with the images large enough to be seen from the street.

TAMPA, Fla. - The $32.8 million Tampa Museum of Art, which opened to the public Feb. 6, rises on the historic banks of the Hillsborough River across from a Moorish, late-19th-century, minaret- topped University of Tampa building that once served as headquarters for officers waiting to be deployed to the Spanish-American war in Cuba. History envelops Tampa like a mantilla (scarf), but the 66,000- square-foot art museum - surrounded by a sculpture garden and an 8- acre park shared with the adjacent Glazer Children's Museum scheduled to open in October - boasts a modern, industrial look.
