The art: Pipilotti Rist, film still from Pepperminta, 2009.

The news: “Portugal’s Drug Experiment,” by Michael Specter in The New Yorker. A decade ago Portugal decriminalized drug use. How’s it working? Listen to a New Yorker podcast with him here. 

The source: The website for Rist’s art-film. Short videos from the film are available here.  I reviewed Pepperminta on Modern Art Notes.
