That is the question this exhibit of 11-foot skyscraper photos,
models, and videos asks. With a population of 18 million and
growing, �vertical cities� of skyscrapers could be Shanghai�s
population salvation�and a model for China�s -- and the world�s --
growing urban centers. Of note in this exhibition are Jakob
Montrasio�s 11-foot skyscraper photos of Shanghai�s towering towers
(at 128 stories, the �under-construction� �Shanghai Tower� will
surpass New York�s 102-story Empire State Building). Also catch
Montrasio�s 20-minute Shanghai video and glide through the
illuminated walkways of China�s ancient city of the future.</span></p>

Legendary avant-garde filmmaker Jonas Mekas and multi-lingual poet
Cecilia Vicu�a danced in celebration of International Mother
Language Day (February 21) at the United Nations Correspondents
Association Clubroom.</b> Both gave readings and talks to raise
funds for literacy. Jonas Mekas spoke lovingly of Lithuanian, his
native tongue and of his struggles to communicate in other
languages. Said Mekas, �Always it was a struggle. I spoke the wrong
dialect, my accent was too heavy. �We don�t understand. What are you
trying to say?� were the words I heard most often from other people.
Then I discovered the language of cinema and said, �Finally, a
universal language that the whole world will understand. But then
people watched my films and said, �We don�t understand. What are you
trying to say?�</span></p>
