...picture of a stainless steel elephant, eyes averted flirtatiously and a jolly smile, is projected on the screen in the Carpenter Center lecture hall. “The pink ears could be fallopian tubes,” offers Jeff Koons, the controversial artist who spoke last Thursday. The shiny ears do sort of resemble one of those images found in the reproduction section in a biology book, but with a tilt of the head they look more like greyhounds—hot pink ones. Whether or not you prefer the dog or female anatomy interpretation, Koons’ open-ended...
