...many of his works is a signifier for Playboy, masturbation, and the Easter Bunny, to name just a few. He feels that the layering of cultural meaning that he is able to employ through his use of inflatables makes his work more versatile. “The more chameleon art is, the more future it has because we change,” Koons says. In order for his art to survive, it has to be able to appeal to a large and evolving audience. Following this logic, if 10 years from now viewers deem over-sized balloon dogs or inflatable...
...Kristina A. Dominguez ’10. The show featured 16 groups, including the 2011 Steppers and Gumboots, a South African dance troupe.

Twice in the past two years, Abdul-Mahdi has told journalists he was on the verge of quitting the SIIC to form his own party...
...troubles - and possible ouster from Congress - have opened a window for another controversial would-be power broker. Despite Nagin's sagging popularity, the colorful New Orleans mayor came back from the brink of political extinction by solidly winning a second term last November. He's something of a political chameleon, easygoing and businesslike when he needs to impress his conservative constituents and, since Hurricane Katrina, capable of a fiery, defiant oratory that has endeared him to a lot of African-Americans who are still struggling to get their lives back together - and who blame much of their difficulties...
