...Fance Franck's work-this is the second year the gallery's spring show has been devoted to her. Franck is an American expatriate living in Paris whose work has been widely shown in Europe. She's a ceramist, or potter, depending on what you think of her very distinct style. Her bowls and vases are always porcelain and always small, due to the limitations of her kiln. They come in a few very specific shapes-round, rectangular, oval or flat. She takes a simple shape and varies it simply-some pieces are scalloped, some are painted to look like...
Furthermore, Medwed's characters lack depth. Daisy, Truman and Henry all speak and act with much the same voice, and as a result blur into one non-distinct personality.

Far more likely, however, is that...
Currently, the Institute is governed by two distinct mission statements. It will foster all kinds of academic research and artistic achievement, but must maintain a specific commitment to the study of women and gender. We urge the Institute to prioritize the latter. Although Faust has noted that these two missions do not necessarily need to be separated within the Institute, they will come into tension with each other when it comes to selecting research topics and allocating capital and space resources...
