Kate Augenblick '79: a career artist out of the loop

By Susan Zieger | October 3, 1994

The spacious studio loft in Red Hook, Brooklyn where Kate Augenblick '79 paints her colorful abstract canvases overlooks New York Harbor; on a crisp September morning one can see tugs and barges floating by and lower Manhattan looming just beyond. It's an appropriate point of view for an artist who in her own words, is "out of the loop" of the New York art scene.

Stores take credit

By Holly Eaton | September 29, 1994

The changing national economy of recent times has been reflected in the changing face of Hanover's Main Street, both in the addition of several stores and the disappearance of others. Shopkeepers said they are happy to see new additions to Hanover's shopping area and hope the new stores will attract customers to the town. Although the arrival of The Gap last Spring signaled a change in the traditional small town atmosphere, shopkeepers are excited about the new business the chain-store has brought. "We are very pleased Campion's came back and The Gap came to town -- the more reasons to come here, the better," Jeff Cowan, the owner of Cowan's clothing store, said.

By Charles Davant | September 29, 1994

With peak foliage season approaching, Hanover businesses are once again reminded that money does, in fact, grow on trees. The annual flux of leaf peepers from outside New England is perking up hotels, restaurants and retailers all over the state.

(Sur)reality check: DFS film series 'switches reals'

By Keith Lavigne With Susan Zieger | September 22, 1994

The lights dimmed, the reels began spinning and the audience settled in for a double feature of the Alfred Hitchcock classics "Spellbound" and "Vertigo." This was no Tuesday night on the couch for film buffs -- it was the launching of the Dartmouth Film Society's Fall 1994 Film Series, "Switching Reals," which explores realism and surrealism through classic and contemporary films. Owen Gottlieb '95, the new Director of DFS, developed the idea for "Switching Reals" two terms ago, drawing on his love of cinematic realism, which attempts to replicate the world as accurately as possible on film.

This weekend, the New York Theater Workshop will perform two collections of short stories, which it has been working on during the past week. On Friday night, the group will present three short stories written by Fanni Green who is helping to direct the play. "The Polk Trilogy" is about Shelby, a woman, who interacts with various local town people she meets, according to a press release. Green said yesterday that this will be the first time her stories will be put on stage. "For me it's about explaining and talking with actors how we can bring these stories to the stage," she said.

Hood puts artwork on DCIS

By David Hemmer | August 5, 1994

The Hood Museum recently indexed about 30,000 of its art objects, including most of its fine art collection, on the Dartmouth College Information Service. "All of the artwork is on, the whole Fine Arts collection," Questor Project Manager Deborah Haynes said. Questor is the name of a computer program used at the Hood Museum. Plans are in place to eventually have pictures of the artwork available on the network. The works are separated into two different indexes on DCIS, Fine Arts and Anthropology/History, although a few pieces are in both. Users can search the indexes by subject, artist, date, materials and nationality. Professors can use to index to obtain lists of works by certain artists or of certain types for students in their classes to use, said Kathy Hart, the museum's curator of academic programming. Then they can request certain works be pulled for their students to view. "The DCIS probably will be more and more useful with classes that use the collections," Haynes said. The next step for the museum is to scan in pictures of the artwork, but that project is awaiting funding. "We're working on money to do that and we've done a little test file," Haynes said. About 20 to 30 pieces have been scanned into the computer to use as demonstrations for obtaining funding from different sources, according to DCIS Project Director Robert Brentrup. Brentrup said the major costs in the project are the scanning equipment, labor to photograph many of the works and computer storage space for the scanned pictures.

By Alexander R. Edlich | July 28, 1994

After friends asked him for a recording of his music, Jud Caswell '94 decided to make a record of all the songs he has been playing around campus for three years. Caswell, a veteran of Hovey's and a regular at the Lone Pine Tavern, is in the final stages of putting together his first album that he will sell and send off to various music labels. The album, currently slated for release at the end of the summer, is currently a mix of 12 songs the music major wrote while he was at Dartmouth. "I didn't have anything of good quality around," he said in an interview while fiddling with his acoustic guitar on his lap.
