Perhaps you recall that little ruined island-nation called Nauru that has such a place in my heart?... Well, after being stripped of its major natural resource, filled with refugees and perhaps even nuclear waste, it has now caught the eye of a Japanese artist named Jun Shibata as Flying Nauru, a stealth-bomber shaped sculpture as placeless invisible island in White Box’s Another Expo: Beyond the Nation State.

Also worth checking out is Ines Pais’ Chixuania Series, less for the photos themselves or the self-impressed Oh What I Have Learned From Traveling schtick (sp?), but more for the inspired chutzpah of attempting to mail packages (returned undelivered and on display in the gallery) and hitchhike (!) to her own make-believe city.
