...even if she did make the lewd gesture, Tufts’ Alumni Association is still not off the hook for withdrawing the award. Its rather difficult to take seriously the claim of the Alumni Association that they were unaware of Monnin’s history of transgressive and brash methods of making her voice heard given the prominence of that history. Three years ago, Monnin was involved in the controversial student takeover of a University building; “I don’t try to hide my actions,” she told the Tufts Daily when asked about...

David Batchelor's The Spectrum of Brick Lane, a tower of light boxes, reveals its naked anatomy of trailing wires and reused components, echoing the untidy aspects of a built-up area as well as its brash artificial sources of color. Another theme Nesbitt detects is art that "invites a direct encounter," like Jim Lambie's jazzy floor of multicolored vinyl tape that follows and magnifies the pillars and doorways of a double-height gallery. In contrast, Susan Philipsz's art is meant to be overheard...
