...marvelously detailed. Wisps of clouds are clearly defined and individual wave crests reflect the sun at different but interlacing angles. Displayed together so that the horizons all line up perfectly, the Seascapes are haunting in their simple, minimalist beauty. With a title like "End of Time," there is no doubt that this artist and this exhibition take themselves very seriously?but given the show's transcendent power, the seeming self-importance is not just well placed, it may even be understated...
...Checkpoints. Mobs. Lately, Sydneysiders have been grappling with scenes that few ever imagined would occur in their city. Though they're arguing about when the trouble started brewing and why, there can be no doubt when it erupted. On the morning of Sunday, Dec. 11, a crowd of some 5,000 people - overwhelmingly young men - gathered near Cronulla beach. Most had responded either to a mass-circulated text message that called on "Aussies" to reclaim their beaches from "wogs" and "Lebs," or to enthusiastic publicizing of the event by tabloid media.

"Until he was far on, he received very little encouragement," she says. Even when Rousseau's art grew popular, people were never quite sure what to make of him. The artgoing...

While I have little doubt that extending Hilles’ hours would serve some Quadlings well, the fuss made by the would-be library revolutionaries was totally gratuitous and, let’s face it, pretty annoying. Between House libraries and an all-night Lamont, there should be no shortage of places for Quad residents to study, to say nothing of the Quad’s remarkable horde of common rooms. The issue is, apparently, one of discrimination: getting to Lamont takes 20 minutes for a Quadling and fewer than 10 for a River-dweller—never mind that...
