As if an imaginary fist from behind the frame had punched through the foil of Jack Whitten’s “Birmingham 1964” (1964), a hole appears like an artifact of violence, a documentation of the civil rights movement. The hole is a window, offering a view of an old newspaper photo. A stocking mesh prevents a clear view of the image.

Ten minutes before the start of 10A classes last Thursday, Jake Greenberg ’17 strolled into the Black Family Visual Arts Center’s video editing suite with a hot mug of coffee from Dunkin’ Donuts. While other students spent the previous night celebrating Green Key, Greenberg and his classmates from Film Studies 39, an advanced video making class, were busy applying the final touches to their original documentary, “Good Vibes and Duct Tape: Stories with Cindy Pierce.”

As the opening notes of Bennie Moten’s Kansas City Orchestra’s “Moten Swing” sounded on Thursday evening last week, conductor Don Glasgo was at ease. Only a close observer could notice the slight motions of his wrist keeping tempo — a contrast to the stereotypical conductor armed with a baton, elaborately motioning through the rhythms. Through the opening passage, guitarist Zack Cutler ’14 anchored the chord progression with a walking bass line provided by Andrew Shea ’17. Floating on top, pianist Becky Zegans offered variation. Suddenly, there was a blitz of brass which stopped as quickly as it started.

The processes of microbial evolution, for many, would not inspire art. Yet this is precisely what composer Fay Kueen Wang used to create “STEM Arts: Music and Biology,” a composition she will perform tonight in the Oopik Auditorium in the Class of 1978 Life Sciences Center.

With parents weekend upon us, I realized that I've only talked to my parents once since I got back to campus this summer. Our phone conversation lasted 16 minutes as I stood outside of Molly's on the Fourth of July. Five of those minutes were spent listening to my mother search for my dad at a barbeque party so that she could give him the phone.

"Hexagon" is the group's fifth full-length release under the name Filligar. Composed of Johnny Mathias '11, Pete Mathias '09, Teddy Mathias '09 and pianist and childhood friend Casey Gibson, the band kicks off a headlining tour in Chicago tomorrow to promote the album's release. Filligar, featured in CMJ's mixtape this month, received a "best new music" designation by American Songwriter Magazine earlier this month. Other album tracks showcase the piano that distinguishes "New Local." In "Knock Yourself Out," Gibson's full chords and moving melodies add another voice to each chorus, while a bluesy piano line jousts with drummer Pete Mathias's djembe in "Ozona."

I think it's safe to say that something about Jay-Z's latest album, "Magna Carta... Holy Grail" is not quite right. Perhaps it's the way that early access was granted to those with Samsung Galaxy phones, yet another sign of the commercialization of music and art. Or perhaps it's because the arrogantly, or even insecurely, titled work equates itself to something iconic instead of allowing the music to speak for itself. Whatever it was, something rubbed me the wrong way before I even hit the play button.

An all-male ballet troupe from New York City, the "Trocks" satirized ballet's traditional sobriety with choreography that balanced comedy with true talent. Their shows, held in Moore Theater on Saturday and Sunday nights, proved both awe-inspiring and hilarious.
