...album ends with “In the Ground,” which sounds quite similar to the first track, “Acts of Man.” The subject matter, vocals, and music all have exactly the same feel, showing how the album lacks overall direction. Just as each individual song feels static, lacking a swelling or diminishing of emotion, the album as a whole shows no development through the tracks, and we feel that Smith hasn’t taken us anywhere.

He gives precedence to an understanding through symbolism and cultural context in many instances. Fehrenbach, too, occupies a bit of this middle ground: “To put the sensual part of art back on the agenda is absolutely important,” he says. “Art theory sometimes tends to contextualize too much, but it should start with the perceptual qualities of the object...

Penn’s Harrison Cook opened the bout aggressively, attacking Caputo’s legs and bringing him to the ground, but it was the Harvard competitor who wound up on top, earning two points with his quick feet. From that point Caputo did not relent. The grappler forced Cook into back-to-back pins to close out the period and easily escaped at the start of the second to push his lead to 9-0. The two wrestlers did not spend much time in neutral position, though, as the Crimson co-captain notched another takedown and transitioned into...
