By Rachel Carter | January 18, 2011

Sam Purcell / The Dartmouth Staff Although Dartmouth may be best known for its economics department, students and professors agree that the discipline of creative writing is alive and well at the College on the Hill.

Artist-in-residence rejects form, embraces content

By Jane Cavalier | January 12, 2011

Although his work is often characterized by critics as abstract, Chris Martin the studio art department's artist-in-residence for Winter term rejects this label. "My interest in painting has been where painting intersects with life," Martin said in an interview with The Dartmouth. Martin admits that he has been influenced by the work of abstract expressionists, including Alfred Jensen and Paul Feeley. However, the artist said he rejects abstract art's turn toward the concept of "form as content," an idea that emerged from the abstract expressionist movement. "After abstract expressionists, abstract art was hijacked by a group of critics who felt the more abstract painting became, the more it moved toward its destiny, became more pure," Martin said. Martin said he developed his "obsession" with painting at the age of 14, when he would spend his days listening to James Brown records in his high school's art studio. Brown a renowned soul singer has continued to influence Martin's work throughout his career as a painter.

Street Soul brings urban dance style to Hanover

By Gavin Huang | January 9, 2011

Gavin Huang / The Dartmouth Staff "It's called a hit," Samuel Tan '14 said, addressing the crowd at the first meeting of his new urban dance group Street Soul. And with that pithy explanation, he proceeded to demonstrate one of the fundamental moves of the dance style known as popping. He raised his arm in an almost robotic fashion and began to alternately contract and relax his muscles, producing a quick jerk in his arm. Moving to the beat of the music, he continued to dance freestyle until the song finished.
