These five works are just a small sampling of the biennial based on what I could see in a day and a half.

End-of-2011 recommendation: Justin Boyd’s boids at Artpace
by Sarah Fischby Sarah FischYou have until the 31st to be enchanted and freaked out by Justin Boyd's magnificent sound sculpture, “Natural Black, Sprinkled With Cosmic Iridescence" at Artpace. It's a Window Works visual/sound installation, so all you have to do is park out front and listen. "Open" 24 hours a day. Particularly enchanting at night. Don't miss this crazy thing.
