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.

Creative differences mar Fiasco's ‘Lasers'

By Duncan Bryer | April 3, 2011

Chicago rapper Lupe Fiasco's third album "Lasers" is a difficult album to review. While it fails to reach the lyrical or production levels of his previous album the critically and popularly acclaimed "The Cool" "Lasers" is an innovative and unique album in its own right, representing some of the best and worst aspects of hip-hop today. Perhaps the biggest talk surrounding "Lasers" was the delay of its release, a result of Fiasco's creative differences with his record company, Atlantic Records, who were pushing for (read: demanding) a more commercial framework for Fiasco's "conscious rap." Not to say this is necessarily a bad thing I'm the last person to criticize music because its production is catchy.
