By Jeremy Massler | January 28, 2005

There is something unsettling about thefacebook.com's premise -- about the process of inviting a person and listing him or her as your "official friend."

Hood Museum celebrates 20 years

By Ann Marie Persaud | January 19, 2005

The Hood Museum of Art celebrates its 20th anniversary in 2005 with a year-long celebration. Since the official opening of the building upon its completion in 1985, more than 900,000 visitors from around the world have flocked to the museum, one of the largest art museums on a college or university campus in the United States. In commemoration of the museum's emerald anniversary, the Hood staff has planned several programs for the public and will focus on the impact the museum has had on the community since its inception. To kick off 2005, the museum will feature "Critical Faculties: Teaching with the Hood's Collection," featuring installations from the anthropology, art history, classics and studio art departments. The anthropology department's installation will feature figurative objects from Africa, a variety of ancestral and contemporary artworks from Papua New Guinea and Mexican and Central American tools and obsidian jewelry from the pre-colonial era. The art history department will focus on a museum exhibition from pre-modern and early modern times but with a contemporary twist.

Razorlight to brighten up Boston

By Caroline McKenzie | January 5, 2005

Okay, true story: It's New Year's Eve, and The Dartmouth's arts section says to itself, "Huh, what should be my resolution for 2005?" A difficult question for anyone, but seeing as the arts section is already thin as paper (literally, I mean) and doesn't like chocolate anyways, its only option left is to resolve to "improve itself." The arts section thinks to itself that it really likes running concert reviews.

Oscars are still up in the air, with no frontrunner in sight

By Matt Hill | November 23, 2004

As Oscar season comes into full swing, one can't help but notice the lack of a true frontrunner. This year we are certainly lacking a "Return of the King" or "Titanic," whose critical reception and wide appeal carried them both to record-tying sweeps of 11 awards.
