This week's arts diary
This week's arts diary: 
This week Rachel Whiteread scupts for Britain, put your name down for Olympic posters, Shechter and Gormley unite and Geoff Dyer fawns
Whiteread comes home
Rachel Whiteread's most famous sculpture in Britain is House – a cast of the interior of a condemned house in the East End that, despite becoming something of a lightning rod for debate about contemporary art, had an incredibly brief life, being destroyed fewer than three months after its completion in January 1994. She's made permanent public sculptures for cities overseas, famously the Holocaust memorial at Judenplatz in Vienna, but there's still no permanent public sculpture by Whiteread in this country.
That's set to change: arts charity the Art Fund has commissioned Whiteread to make a permanent sculpture for the Whitechapel Gallery in London. Details are hazy, since the gallery has yet to gain planning permission, but it's hoped the piece will be finished in time for the Olympics, and will sit at the facade, above the main entrance, where a sculpted frieze was planned for the 1901 building but never realised. It will take inspiration from the "tree of life" theme of the building's architecture.
Race for Olympics posters
To a dinner hosted by art collectors Freddy and Muriel Salem in honour of the Chisenhale Gallery, now showing an exhibition of video and sculpture by James Richards at its HQ in the East End of London. I chatted to Carl Freedman, who runs Counter Editions, which produces the kind of artists' prints that are the nearest most of us will get to a contemporary art collection. Counter Editions will be publishing limited-edition prints of London Olympics posters, which have been designed by artists such as Bridget Riley, Fiona Banner, Howard Hodgkin and Chris Ofili. The designs will be unveiled in early November, and the prints will sell like hot cakes, so join the mailing list at countereditions.com to get first bite. Good news for cheapskates: the designs will also be available as mass-produced posters.
Shechter and Gormley duet
Ever since he burst on to the dance scene, Hofesh Shechter, the Brighton-based, Israeli-born choreographer, has made a name for himself with macho, visceral, jagged works. His latest project, however, comes without dancers. He's working with Antony Gormley – another artist obsessed with the role of the body in space. Shechter is writing a score for 100 drummers and a band of 30, for which Gormley is creating a sculptural environment. The work, called Survivor, will be premiered in January at the Barbican in London. "With a frozen image of his own body," says Shechter, "Antony at times expresses more than I can with the many living bodies of my dancers. He's a choreographer of space and emotion."
Dyer's dinner gaffe
Novelist, essayist and columnist Geoff Dyer recently warned of serious name-dropping, before describing his joyful feelings at sitting next to Martin Amis at a dinner hosted by William Fiennes. He then revealed that he had asked Amis to sign a handful of books he had brought for the purpose, an action that caused him to become, for the other guests, "an object of both derision and envy. The situation was further complicated by an undertow of regret. Having brought six books, I explained to Will, I might as well have brought the lot so that I could experience the glow of completion." Dyer gamely records Fiennes's answer: "'Of being a complete plonker, you mean?'"

Chess: Bobby Fischer clears up
Chess: Bobby Fischer clears up: The game looks a mess – until Fischer exercises the clarity and control for which he's renowned. RB: This week the boot is on the other foot and it's Dan's turn to puzzle over the position. I chose this position because in some ways it seems a very unFischer-like game. Among the legendary former world chess champion's most notable qualities were clarity and control. It's hard to see those qualities at work here. In fact – is it treasonable to suggest? – this looks like the kind of position chess amateurs like me might stumble into. Let's see what the grandmaster makes of it. DK: The Fischer games I selected for Ronan over the previous few weeks are, I think, typical of his style: pieces ...

I think that all of the so called prognosticators who believe that the Democratic blood bath is inevitable are gong to be very mistaken. I am not saying that the democrats will not lose seats.

Thursday's Daily Brief
2010-07-01The Daily Brief
Aaron Belkin: Elena Kagan and Blind Faith in the Military
AP
Aaron Belkin: Respect for the military can play a valuable role in public discourse, and Elena Kagan has demonstrated such respect throughout her career. But respect does not mean that one must abandon key principles just because the military says so. Whether or not one agrees with law schools who tried to enforce their own non-discrimination policies, the Pentagon twisted facts and disguised a concern for disrespect with an argument about military recruiting, to say nothing of bullying university administrators and using personnel policy to express bigotry.

Doug Bandow: Terrorism: Why They Want to Kill Us
There can sometimes be a case for military intervention or use of drones. But the high costs of these tactics must be recognized and weighed. To reduce terrorism, Washington should do less, not more, abroad.Bob Cesca: Listen All Y'all, It's a Republican Sabotage
The Republicans are willing to let one out of every ten of your friends go broke in the name of foiling the president and reclaiming control over the government (which they say they hate). Think about that.Sen. Dianne Feinstein: Urgent Action Necessary to Stop Health Insurance Corporation Greed
At a time of great hardship for many Americans, it is unconscionable that a few mega-corporations can simply misplace a few decimal points and quickly rack up millions of dollars in unjust profits.Tom Ferry: Are You Addicted to the Past?
