This change never comes though; he simply rehashes the abstract rhyme-isms of Q-Tip or C.L. Smooth without the wit or the novelty. “I’m like a faucet, monopoly’s the object/There ain’t no way to cut this tap, you gotta get wet/Your head is throbbin’ and I ain’t said shit yet.” In fact, he never really does say anything. The chorus is a funky yet meaningless refrain: “We got the Hot-Hot Music, the Hot Music...

On Thursday, Krieger also asked students how they envisioned the architecture of the new campus. Frank Gehry, known for his abstract architecture, is one of the planners consulting on the new campus. A graphic of a new undergraduate House at the Harvard in Allston room shows a set of Matheresque blocks in a circle, labeled as a “residential village.” Students were not enthusiastic about that possibility, noting...

Silicone is a common medium in the Carpenter Center’s second floor studio: Colorful spaghetti-like heaps...
...idea of this exhibit because “he likes making art accessible in an interesting space that is always open.” At Mather, exhibits rotate once a month, but this idea will linger for a while: curators are already considering a similar display that will involve abstract painting and Velcro that can be moved around. Perhaps this would be the next step in an ambitious transformation of the Three Columns Gallery into art’s future playground. Regardless, Frey’s paintings make the space well worth a walk down the river even now. Interchange...
