Ken Bridges

Scottish writer Ken Lussey has released a new novel, 'Bridge of Sighs', a fast-paced contemporary murder mystery set in Edinburgh and northern Scotland. To mark publication he is highlighting real locations featured in the book, including Balnakeil Bay in Sutherland, the Black Isle hamlet of Kilmuir and the village of Plockton in Wester Ross. The recurring question, whether a place can be loved to death, frames the book's exploration of scenic Scottish settings.

Artist and roboticist Ken Goldberg has created a site-specific earthwork at the Nevada Museum of Art. The piece extends Goldberg's practice, which bridges land art traditions with technology, into the museum's setting in Reno. Early coverage is highlighting the work's connection to the institution's focus on art and the environment.
