...Since then, Antonakos has kept the boxes while the suspense around them grew. He had intended the Time Boxes as a private experience, but decided, as the millennium neared, to exhibit them at the Rose Art Museum at Brandeis, and to hold the opening ceremony on the school's campus. Antonakos designed the portentously titled "Neon Millennium Room" inside the Rose, where the boxes were exhibited while unopened, and where their contents are now on display. The walls bracketing the doorway are painted in saturated blue and red-orange, and a little vestibule stands between the observer and the room...
Richards, a noted poet and lecturer at Tufts University, is having his first exhibit at the Gallery Bershad. Richards's companion for the show is artist Karen Boutelle, whose mixed-media wall-hangings are more visceral than Richards's pale metal sculptures. Boutelle's "Ambivalent Passages" looks like an open gash with blood pouring forward in hues of petrified amber. But her most spectacular piece, "Ambivalent Passages III," seems to defy this straight sanguine categorization. The layers of cheesecloth, beeswax, shellac, oil bar, paint and rice paper that Boutelle uses in her art are here transformed into a composition reminiscent...
...However, at the end of the first exhibit hall, gaming does get some of its due. A brief series of panels on a wall describes the gaming operation and its impact upon the community.

He looks around nervously and surreptitiously removes his wallet from his back...
...last exhibit space of the museum, there is a gallery of portraits of current members of the Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Nation, with quotes from many of them. All of these photographs depict people whom I would visually identify as either white or black, not Indian. Below the photograph of Regina Kirchner, whom I would identify as white, reads the following: "My mother never talked about being Pequot, so it's hard for me to have this feeling about being Indian. I really feel I'm living between two worlds, you might say. I'm trying to get back some...
...also gives the entire community a chance to experience and appreciate the creative energy in the playwrights' works. Unlike poets and writers who have the opportunity to submit their work to the various literary publications on campus, student playwrights don't have many avenues that allow them to exhibit their work to their peers. Edith Bishop '00 explains, "I think it's important that the theater community show support for playwrights. It's important to celebrate all parts of the artistic process." Bishop's play, Hurricane Journals, concerns one woman's efforts to comes to terms with the loss...
