Arts on the Point's latest initiative has been to open lines of communication with the community to facilitate further installations. Wendy Barring Gould is the latest member of the Arts on the Point team. Since June, she has been working as the director of educational programs and community outreach, seeking to establish community discussions. Gould claims that when the sculpture park was launched, its directors assumed that a community liaison at the college would be handling such communication. Tucker reports that he did not originally know of the existence of the Columbia-Savin Hill Civic Association, but had deliberated...
...think it's so much about the art, but changing the landscape residents have come to know and love," claims Gould. After all, students at UMass Boston witnessed the installation of five uncontested pieces that have already elevated UMass in the contemporary art world. "Huru" was the only massive work on public grounds; the other pieces were set up within the university's bounds. "Steelworker," a figurative piece by Chicano artist Luis Jimenez, stands proudly in a Statue-of-Liberty-esque pose over the plaza. Though intended as a symbol of humanity against the bleak brick, "Steelworker" doesn't quite...
...these pieces to their inconspicuous placement; they did not require public deliberation. The community group is not picking on the artwork itself, but on the infringement of public space-the association is likewise upset about the university's building of a campus center and acquisition of a pump house.

"I would 100 percent support a piece of artwork, whether I liked it or not, if it was preceded by a community process," states Essaibi herself...
Murray Perahia's new recording on Sony Classical displays the pianist's careful and deeply intelligent approach to the keyboard. Taking all repeats and avoiding the extroverted, almost maniacal approach that made eccentric Candian pianist Glenn Gould so famous, Perahia is still able to capture our attention with his wonderful tone. The only downside is that some of his embellishments during repeats sound a bit rehearsed. One sometimes wants to hear more of a free approach, especially in the sections where inegal playing is necessary to the style of the variation. However, Perahia has obviously studied the score with great...
...current teenage sensation. "Only Australia could produce Ian Thorpe," says Gennadi Touretski, an Australian team coach who previously coached national teams in the former Soviet Union. "A teenager as Olympic champion - that's the Australian dream," he told TIME, recounting the examples of John Konrads in 1960 and Shane Gould in 1972. Touretski believes swimming is entrenched in the country's culture. Strong local clubs, rather than colleges, breed promising youngsters, he says, the best of whom go to sports institutes as teenagers. Government funding also supports home-based athletes (such as Thorpe) and their coaches (such as Doug Frost...
