The front section includes the ‘State of the Art’ editorial by Tom Morton, alongside regular frieze columnists: In part two of his discussion of the new MoMA, Robert Storr’s ‘View from the Bridge’ asks how the museum will mine the riches of its unparalleled collections?

Plus, Dominic Eichler browses through some of today’s independent art magazines. For this month’s debate Kirsty Bell and Felix Ensslin discuss the ethics of ‘Regarding Terror’, a current show on the Red Army Faction at Kunst-Werke, Berlin.
