The art: Robert Polidori, Control Room, Reactor 4, Chernobyl, 2001.
The news: “Japan’s nuclear crisis widens,” by Mark Magnier, Barbara Demick and Laura King in the Los Angeles Times.
The source: Polidori’s must-own 2003 book “Zones of Exclusion: Pripyat and Chernobyl.” (This afternoon I’ll tweet a couple more images from Polidori’s book. Follow me here.)
Also, after Polidori published his book on New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina, I did this Q&A with him on Modern Art Notes.
