Fernandez's communing with patriarchy gets even more personal in a diptych re-creating a portrait of her father, down to the clothing, pose, and sunlit/tall-grass setting It's a little like Gillian Wearing's creepy family- photo remakes, except with Chicana nuances (minus only that signifier of Latino masculinity: the mustache). Elsewhere, traditional Mexican ceramics, textiles, and folk paintings are treated as readymade source material for contemporary art This line of inquiry into culture, history, identity- whatever you want to cite- isn't very strong.

The opening salvo in the museum's campaign to host private collections inside the institution, "Skin Fruit"- it rhymes with skin flute, get it?- first set tempers boiling about clubby relationships at the museum in late 2009, long before trustee Dakis Joarmou's ritzy art collection arrived inside its designer walls. Other, normally far more affecting work by women-Kara Walker's gouache allegories of race relations, Gillian Wearing's photo of a suit holding an "I'm Desperate" sign, and Janine Antoni's rawhide sculpture of a woman on all fours- get drowned out by the dicks-and-chicks shenanigans of brawny marquee artists like Urs Fischer, Paul McCarthy, Mike Kelley, Matt Greene, Seth Price, Paul Chan, Terence Koh, Richard Prince, Pawel Althamer, and Tim Noble and Sue Webster, to name but...

First among a gangof camera-wielding artists who devote their energies to the inner lives of actual human subjects- and not to picturing disembodied global "networks" and "processes"- she has long reflected a flexible, universalist ideal best expressed aphoristically by Diane Arbus, that Magellan of Otherness: "Every difference is a likeness, too." A Clearasil blonde sways shyly while throwing shapes in the air; a pale goth head-bangs his way through a deatiimetal number; a leggy black girl blossoms radiantly to the rhythms of a pop tune; a raver throws his jumpy limbs in multiple directions at once; some father's daughter in a minidress jiggles baby fat while sporting a come-hither look.

For good measure, [Oliver Stone] throws in swipes at the media and the red states. "They didn't even read the reviews in the South," he whines about the movie's theatrical release, "because the media was using the words: 'Alex is gay.' As a result you can bet that they thought, 'We're not going to see a film about a military leader that has got something wrong with him.' In the movie's ultimate camp scene, [Jared Leto]'s Hephaistion--wearing mascara and looking like a greasy-haired tweaker at the end of a very long rave--cradles [Alexander]'s face, whispering, "You're a great man. Many will love you, Alexander, but none so pure and deep ..." when--oops!--in walks Alexander's feral new wife, who, in a Nickelodeon accent rivaled only by [Angelina Jolie]'s, spits out the line that may yet...

FULLERTON, Calif. - In many ways, Yousuf Salama is a typical teenager: He lives for football, worries about acne and would rather dash off to see "Captain America" with friends than spend one more minute with his mother. He's aware, however, that his actions in particular can have greater meaning.
