...fall. But if you have people in there who are strong and who are going to fight for rebounds, you’ll be able to get offense from that.”And the Crimson, as of late, has been doing just that. Where before the post was bare and the rebounding effort marginal at best, now the lane—and the Harvard bench—is swarming with talent, size, bulk, and offensive touch. The Crimson’s effective in-and-out motion offense emphasizes a high-low post game that facilitates movement...
...familiar sound, missing out instead on the studio experimentation that brings computerized complexity to their deft instrumentation. It would be hard to satisfy traditional fans (if any exist) of either of these bands, as they hail from opposite sides of the indie-musical spectrum. Oldham, who often relies on bare, folk-like musical backing for his back-country confessions, is here nudged towards the technologically deviant complexity of Tortoise, who are in turn obliged to accommodate Oldham’s tendency for a quieter style of shoe-gazing. Still, both groups are accomplished and thoughtful, and when both make concessions...
These paintings were extraordinary for several reasons. They reduced Stella’s role as a painter to the absolute minimum of applying black paint to an empty canvas—the white “lines” were actually thin strips of bare canvas showing through the gaps between stripes of black paint. Furthermore, the geometric pattern of lines—dubbed “deductive structure” by critics—was derived from the rectangle of the canvas, a frank acknowledgement of materiality directly opposed to traditional painting...
...gets the sense that this experimentation is both very disciplined and very thorough, and it was no doubt thanks to this extended research that Stella was able to arrive at the elegant simplicity of the black paintings. They represent the same combination of stripes and rectangles reduced to a bare minimum; the stripes and the background are created simultaneously through the application of only one color, and the rectangular element becomes the canvas itself and so does not need to be painted...
...sparkling- and notably smaller-new state-of-the art facility opened across the street (after its own $133 million in cost overruns), virtually nothing has happened with the vacant building, except that taxpayers keep shelling out $2 million each year in "holding costs" to pay for security guards and bare-bones electrical and heating costs. Assorted stakeholders-federal and local government officials, potential private developers and landmark preservation activists-squabble periodically about what should become of the vacant building. Among the proposals bandied about over the past ten years but never acted upon: a shopping mall, hotel, restaurants, condos, even...
