The New Yorker, December 15, 2003


ALEKSANDRA MIR
The streets in Tokyo have no names, which vexes some visitors, so Mir (who has never been to Japan) asked her friends—an oceanographer, a cheerleader, several artists—for suggestions. The results, thirty-one street signs, made in collaboration with the New York Department of Transportation, draw on everything from Italian swearwords and female Black Panthers to the seas of the moon. Through Dec. 20. (Swiss Institute, 495 Broadway. 212-925-2035.)
