...little more than the thoughts they began as. Again and again, LeWitt introduced a human factor into what could otherwise have been a mechanical process. His instructions might call for one person to draw an irregular line and for others to attempt to imitate it. Early on, he brought color into the mix to produce agitated chromatic force fields. And in the '80s, after he moved for a few years from Manhattan to Spoleto, Italy, LeWitt began using big, broad phalanxes of colors so bright they play havoc with your retinas...
...California Protesting a Gay-Marriage Ban While Barack Obama may have broken the color barrier by becoming the nation's first African-American President, the gay and lesbian community in California has erupted in protests following the approval of Proposition 8, which overturns a state supreme court decision upholding gay marriage.

The faculty members there were color-field painters, specializing in the abstract, so Hann ah transferred to the Parsons New School of Design two years later. “I wanted the challenge of verisimilitude,” Hannah says. “There is something in me that wanted to make narrative paintings, which...
...Agassiz Theatre—director Andrew C. Coles ’09 takes creative liberties to accurately portray modern society’s heterogeneity. Browsing the original cast list, one thing is certain—if you’re either a woman or a person of color, you aren’t going to get much stage time. It’s an unfortunate trend throughout Western theater: typecasting often places women into roles as either sexualized damsels in distress or desexualized comed relief, while black characters are often marginalized altogether. To offset these outdated limitations, BlackCast has reworked...
