BOOKED SOLID: "Bossypants"

By Aarti Kamat | April 19, 2011

Judging a book by its cover has its perils. The humor and wit contained in the pages of Tina Fey's new autobiography, "Bossypants," however, matches up to the ridiculous impression that the book's cover makes. The front cover of the book features Fey's head superimposed on the body of a man with rather hairy arms, which made me chuckle to myself.

Thompson utilizes collage in ‘Alchemy'

By Alison Leung | April 10, 2011

Courtesy of Esme Thompson Thompson employs collage techniques in her exhibit "The Alchemy of Design." Some things take time studio art professor Esme Thompson did not begin her work as an artist until the age of 24. After more than 30 years of teaching at Dartmouth, Thompson's accomplishments will be displayed at the Hood Museum of Art from April 9 through May 29 in her first solo exhibit, "The Alchemy of Design." Thompson, whose art has previously been displayed in the Strauss Gallery and the Jaffe-Friede Gallery on campus, combines stylistic elements from other cultures and artists and expands on her interest in collage in "The Alchemy of Design." Thompson draws inspiration from her travels around the world, channeling the manuscript texts she saw in Ireland and the carpet weavings and tapestries of Morocco. Visitors to Thompson's exhibit can see the direct influences of these travels reflected in her work.
