From the start, the Rev. Ralph Abernathy's lax grip on leadership of the Poor People's Campaign has been steadily slipping away. Last week his hold relaxed to the point of paralysis. While Resurrection City afforded Washington an unseemly display of backbiting and verbal pyromania, the protest movement's leaders purged the man who, above all, might have given their faltering cause realistic direction...
Poetic Package. Currently on display at Manhattan's Dwan Gallery are 41 works consisting mostly of words or scale drawings. Among them is one work titled Art as Idea as Idea, which is simply a photographic blowup of the dictionary definition of real. It is the end product of Joseph Kosuth's struggle with the artistic problem of defining what "the real thing is." Says Kosuth gravely: "I think the importance of all art is its ideas." Japanese-born Shusaku Arakawa shows a canvas on which is handwritten a recipe for banana cake. Who, after all, could show...
...Animated Display. To demonstrate their compound's wide capability, RCA researchers sandwiched a thin film of the liquid crystals between two sheets of glass. The inner surface of each sheet was coated with a transparent electrical conducting material. When a small negative charge was applied to one sheet and a positive charge to the other, so much turbulence was caused inside the liquid crystals' molecular structure that the film turned instantly opaque. Next, in a more complicated display, the conducting surfaces were divided into a mosaic of squares, each separately linked to the external power source; this enabled...
...objects on display are only a fraction of Coolidge's acquisitions. The rest, like 3/4 of the objects the Fogg owns, are never shown to the public. Sculpture fragments, torn paintings, forgeries and most prints and drawings are stored in the basement and print and drawing rooms and are used only for study and instruction. Many large bequests of miscellane- ous art must be attributed and sometimes restored before the works which are good enough to be exhibited can be separated from those which...
...collection has grown steadily, the amount of display room has stayed the same and the Fogg is starting to feel the pinch. It plans to expand within the next five years, proably by building an addition to house the offices and workrooms now on the third and fourth floors. That would free these floors for gallery space, and they would be opened to the public...
