Artist Joel Meyerowitz Finds the World's Laziest Swimmer

Pure pipe-dream material on a day like today, Joel Meyerowitz's video-and-photographic installation (which opened yesterday at the uptown Edwynn Houk Gallery) is the result of Meyerowitz's work in July 2007 with Olympic divers in Florida. Speedo-clad as he may be, though, this swimmer seems a bit amateur. Hopefully he's just taking a breather. —Rachel Wolff
