Hop's invitational exhibition highlights printmaking

February 24, 2009

ASHLEY MITCHELL / The Dartmouth Staff The "Dartmouth Invitational Print Exhibition" currently on display in the Hopkins Center's Jaffe-Friede Gallery, proves that printmaking is an art form every bit as varied in technique and content as its more well-known counterparts -- namely photography and painting -- that often adorn the gallery's walls. Part of a biennial series of invitational exhibits focusing on different artistic media, the exhibit is hosted by the Studio Art Exhibition Committee, a group composed of seven studio art faculty members.

BOOKED SOLID: Can the Kindle relight a reading fire?

By Lucy Randall | February 19, 2009

On Feb. 9, Amazon.com unveiled the Kindle 2, the second generation e-book reader, calling it "Still amazing, only better." Amazon extensively promotes the new gadget with short video ads including customer testimonials ("I'm a bibliophile and I love my Kindle!") and voice-over informational clips that demonstrate the Kindle 2's many capabilities. While the e-book reader's features improvements over the first generation model (thinner, sleeker design; faster page turning; sharper display and greater storage space), it also boasts new capabilities, such as the "text-to-speech" option that can read anything out loud. Users can also annotate their texts, send personal documents from their computers to their Kindles and access Wikipedia. More than 230,000 books are available for the device, as well as more than 1,000 blogs, in addition to major newspapers and magazines from around the country. The new model offers about two days' worth of battery life, which is more than the original Kindle, as well as more storage space and a "sharper display," according to the Amazon ad. Curious, but not enough to shell out $350 for the sleek, smart gadget, I sought out an expert to help me get my head around the latest news in the book world. Haley Wauson '09, an English and psychology double major writing her senior thesis on digital print, explained some of the finer points of Kindle technology to me the other night in Collis.

'Guide to Getting it On' author discusses keys to intimacy

By Sarah Frostenson | February 11, 2009

Jared Bookman / The Dartmouth Staff From the looks of it, Paul Joannides just might be giving Marvin Gaye a run for his money when it comes to expertise in "getting it on." Though his voice might not have ladies swooning, Joannides, who is best known as the author of the popular sex book "The Guide to Getting It On," is no amateur when it comes to smooth moves and pillow talk. Joannides, this year's SexDay lecturer, spoke to students about "positive sexuality" Tuesday afternoon, before participating in the seventh annual SexFestival, an informational forum that provides students with information about intimacy (and edible personal lubricant for kicks). A research psychoanalyst and an editorial board member of the American Journal of Sexuality Education, Joannides has earned a reputation as one of today's most popular, knowledgeable and approachable authors on sex.

Hood exhibit examines cultural identity with photography

By Alicia Kim | February 10, 2009

Zachary Ingbretsen / The Dartmouth Staff American photographer Eudora Welty once said that a good photograph stops a moment from "running away." The 45 photographs now on display in the "Focus on Photography: Works from 1950 to Today" exhibition at the Hood Museum of Art more than meet that standard, giving viewers a cross-sectional look at events and people from the past 60 years. The Hood has amassed 2,000 photographs and photo-based works over the last decade for use in its permanent collection. In anticipation of a major survey exhibition opening in September 2009, "Modern and Contemporary Art at Dartmouth," curator Emily Burke said she decided to put together a sampling of post-1950 photography to offer insight into the diversity, as well as the commonalities, of contemporary photography. "What [Burke] has done with this exhibition is brilliant," said photographer Subhankar Banerjee, the current artist-in-residence at the Hopkins Center.
