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.

DJ Spooky remixes classic film at Hop

By Meredith Fraser | January 18, 2005

It is well-ordered chaos -- scattered slapdash poetry set into carefully coordinated motion. Three screens show incendiary pictures from "Birth of a Nation" as a mix of hip-hop, classical and jungle music blast in the background.

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.

After over 12 years of constant touring, Moe* has established itself as one of today's hardest working rock bands. The band has built up an extremely dedicated fan base the old fashioned way: practicing and playing as much as possible.

Spanish cinema makes waves on American shores

By Kate Carolan | November 16, 2004

With the ever-growing population of Spanish speakers in the United States, the last 10 years in particular have seen an increase in Hispanic, and predominantly Latin, culture, from the Macarena to Ricky Martin. During this time, Spanish-language film has also seemed to grow in popularity, and to many Americans, is mistakenly viewed as a new phenomenon. Much to the contrary, Spanish film has a long, rich tradition rooted in amazing cinematography, surrealist approaches and unparalleled character development that has propelled it to the forefront of the film industry for decades. Luis Bunuel, commonly regarded as the father of surrealist film, was a contemporary of Salvador Dali and Federico Garcia Lorca and truly revolutionized cinematography.

'Together' displays irony of reality

By Jennifer Garfinkel | November 11, 2004

By now, we all know what happens when seven strangers are picked to live in one house for six months, but what happens when these seven strangers are animated? The concept of animation might seem completely opposed to the idea of reality, but no challenge is apparently too great for Comedy Central, which recently launched a new animated series called "Drawn Together." The show marks a first attempt at combining cartoons with reality TV, but hopefully this first attempt at animated reality will also be the last. The series, which is the story of eight animated characters picked to live in one animated house, most closely resembles MTV's "The Real World." The dialogue can be witty at times and certainly achieves its purpose of exaggeratedly mimicking the behavior of real-life contestants on reality programs.

'Maria' finds heart-tugging humanism in drug trade

By Linzi Sheldon | November 10, 2004

Like its protagonist, "Maria of Full Grace" leaves a poignant, touching impression on an untouchable subject. One of the taglines for "Maria Full of Grace" reads: "Based on 1,000 true stories." But while drug smuggling's frequency is undeniable, the acclaimed film's greatest attribute is its artful and moving humanization of one drug mule's story.
