Joking or not, the description is particularly apt; Prina, a formerly Los Angeles-based artist who was recently tenured by the Visual and Environmental Studies department, certainly seems to be the little darling of Harvard’s arts community. The word on the street among VES students is that he’s both an extremely accomplished...
