• Artist Andrea Zittel discusses 100 Acres, a "habitable island" she's building in Indiana that'll have temporary residents the next few summers.

• Via C-Monster, something we midwesterners hear all the time: the space-age sounds of frozen lakes. (You might hear 'em if you head to Art Shanty Projects, now through Feb. 7 on Medicine Lake.)

• Via Fimoculous, online video of three episodes of Andy Warhol's early '80s cable TV shows.
• The Tate has purchased eight William Blake etchings that were unearthed in a box of used books in the '70s.
